It certainly is exciting right now in our city (and a little crazy, too) as hundreds of thousands from all around the world have come to celebrate the Olympic spirit. The opening ceremonies last night were incredibly inspiring for all Canadians, but it was particularly a night to be proud of being a Vancouverite.
At the same time, God is doing exciting things in our church. We are pleased to announce that Dr. Douglas Jacoby will be speaking at a very special service of the Vancouver church on March 7. His topic is "Archaeology and the Bible: The Stones Tell the Story." In two sessions, Dr. Jacoby will share about some of the most recent archaeological discoveries and how they impact our understanding of the Bible, both Old and New Testaments. Please see our website (www.vancouverchurchofchrist.org) for the details and current updates.
Also, on May 28-30, David and Robin Weidner will be teaching at a Vancouver church Marriage Retreat. David is the founder of "Pure in Heart" ministry and Robin is the author of "Secure in Heart." Both are gaining an international reputation as they share vulnerably from their own lives and teach passionately from God's word. Again, for more information, please check out our website for current updates.
One of our main goals in 2010 is to "re-plant" the campus ministry. The target date is September 12, 2010, which is also the date of our 20th Anniversary service. We have the couple already who are committed and actively working towards moving to Vancouver this summer. We are in the midst of giving to a Special Ministry Contribution (SMC), much of which will go towards putting our newly appointed campus ministry on as full time staff. In addition, we are praying for Christians to step up and be part of this mission team that will be reaching out to more than 250,000 college and university students in our city!
At the heart of our prayers is this request: May God, by his power, fulfill every good purpose of ours and every act prompted by our faith (See 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12)
