Sticky Church!
Want to be part of a team of people that are going to make our church "sticky?" No, it's not really sticky (as in too many candy canes), but it's about closing the "back door" of the church and helping people whom God has brought here, to stay here. We spend time and energy to win people and bring them through the front door. But are we caring for them once they come in. This team of people will be able to work from their homes, will need a phone, a computer with internet access, and the potential to make an occasional visit - or delegate a visit to a team of visitors - as will be described in the training we will provide for this. If you are interested, send an email to VancouverAdventist@gmail.com with the subject line: "Sticky Church" and Pastor Roger or Pastor Jeff will contact you shortly now that the holidays are over.
Forks Over Knives
TThe truth about what is killing us in the western culture is amazing. Much of the sickness we face comes through what we eat - and the medical community's way of fixing it is with pills and knives. But you can I can change that, by what we put on our forks. Check out the new film on health and nutrition at: http://www.forksoverknives.com. There is a pre-screening in Portland, starting the end of this week. We may be organizing a group of us to view it together - want to go? Watch your email inbox later this week for information.
