There are several things on the agenda for this post...
Item #1: Corrie & Dawn will be arriving at the beginning of May. They are only bringing clothes, books, etc. Which means...we have the opportunity to bless them! So, let's help them set up their household. If you have anything to donate or would like to give some $$$ to help out, please bring it on a Thursday night or Sunday morning. If you have any questions, can't make it out on a Thursday night, or want to donate something BIG and need help moving it please email me and we'll work something else out! Thank-you in advance for your generosity.
Item #2: There's a movie night coming up. Friday, April 21 in the Warehouse Loft. We're going to be watching The Chronicles of Narnia. As far as food and drinks are concerned: it's going to be a bit of a potluck so bring your favorite, must-have, it's-not-a-movie-night-without-it snack!
Item #3: Tomorrow is Good Friday. If anyone happens to read the blog before then: there is a Good Friday communion service at Broadway that starts at 10:30am.
Item #4: While I'm never one to say no to chocolate (especially mini-eggs), it has to be said: the amount of commercialism and hype around "Easter" is sickening. Of all the secularized holidays, this is perhaps the saddest. That being said, make sure you take some time in the next few days to really reflect about the real meaning of this weekend instead of just sleeping in and eating candy.
Item #5: In honour of summer waiting just around the bend, I leave you with this...

always a wealth of information miss jamie. i think that i actually made it through the whole weekend (unintentionally) without eating any chocolate....it was a close call when i hit the "easter" isle at shoppers today!
i think that despite the fact that those of us who have done decades of easters can forget the implications of it at times, it's good to make the time to tell Jesus how much we appreciate the amazing grace that he laid out for us a couple milleni ago (is that the right plural d?).
anyway, thanx for keeping it real!

In keeping with the style:
#1: Woohoo! Movie night at last! I'm excited to watch Narnia again...just can't get enough of that little Lucy. But how is a person supposed to narrow down the massive list of snacking favourites?
#2: Hey Corrie and Dawn! We're praying for you as you pack up and get ready to come to Vancouver!
#3: Jamie, that photo brings back fond Canada Day memories. Good one.
#4: Close, Rachel--it's milleniA... I mean, if you want to be anal about these things. But who would want to do that? Dum dee dum....heh heh..

Thanks, you guys, for praying for us during this moving time. At this very moment, Corrie is removing our TV! *sob* No more news... no more E! Channel. What? Oh no... I never really watched it. Heh. *shifty eyes*
Yesterday, Gabriel (our 5 year old son) said, "Everybody is taking my STUFF! I want my stuff back!" So if you could remember him and his sensitive heart in prayer too that would be great. He's a real champion, but is finding it hard to watch his shelves, books, toys, bed go away piece by piece every day.
Not much longer and we'll be there! We are looking forward to meeting everyone in person. :)
