Full of the Fullness of God
This Christmas one of the gifts that we gave to a sister-in-law was a puzzle with Canadian landmarks pictured. You could probably name quite a few of the famous places that were pictured: Banff, Niagara Falls, the Butchart Gardens. It also included some well-known...Coyote Faces a Big Decision
Every so often I see a coyote run in front of my house. There must be some that live in the woods down by the park and come up to see what is available to them along our street. I enjoy watching them because they have such a bounce in their step when they are on the...The Warning Light is On
Whenever I get in our Volkswagen to drive somewhere I notice a little yellow light in front of me. Like most yellow lights on a car’s dashboard, it demands actions. And like most people, I ignore that little yellow light, but at some point, that is going to be a...God’s Got This!
At this time last year, many of us were saying, “Wow! What a year 2020 has been. I can’t wait to turn the page to 2021!” During 2020 we had entered into a deadly pandemic, seen our communities forced into various stages of lock down, come face to face with the...What Are You Looking For?
“Dad, I need some help with something.” This is a call that I have gotten regularly since the kids went to UBC. Of course, when I hear that I have a little trepidation run though my system. Is something wrong? That’s the first thought, but more often...
This grand piano has served us well over the years. We said goodbye to it on Sunday as we are getting a “new” grand piano on Tuesday. A lot of praise and worship flowed through her. The generations have been blessed. I will cherish memories of Vi Ellingson playing at the Food Bank and the many, many funerals we did together. Others will think of how Mo Jonson led us in worship for years sitting on that bench. Or Andrew Sung and how he, in the middle of a powerful song, would run his hand quickly across all the keys. Johnny Fwu, Joel McGoran, Calvin Wood, Nancy Tsai, David Kuei and many others played her beautifully. And, of course, we need to mention Patty Jacobson, in whose memory the piano was donated in the early 80’s.
Join us for worship on Sunday, November 10th. We will be looking at Generosity and Commitment! We would love to see you in person, but if you can't make it to the service, you can always watch it here on Facebook.
