A Belated Report

March 22nd, 2010

It's been a couple of weeks since we were blessed by the presence of Credo Christian High School's band here in Prince George, but I've finally got the pictures of the event uploaded, so here they are! It was a wonderful evening - we enjoyed having a great group of kids performing for us, and they certainly are a talented bunch. Heres Snijder is their conductor/bandleader/I'm not sure what to call him, and he certainly has his group performing at a high level. It was a wonderful selection of music, and we're thankful to have had them here!

And last but not least, a rare sight: men doing the dishes after a church luncheon!


A Joyful Announcement

January 4th, 2010

On Sunday, January 17th, the Lord willing, the Prince George mission will be celebrating the entrance of two new families into the Church of Christ. Jean and Louise Deveault will publicly profess their faith and will be received into membership together with their two baptized children, Jessica and Jonathan. Josh and Jessica Bergen will publicly profess their faith, and their two young children, Malakai and Shandelle, will receive the covenant sign and seal of baptism. We would love to have you join us for this joyous occasion, which will take place at 10:30 A.M., 4110 15th Avenue (on the corner of 15th Ave. and Ospika Blvd.) in Prince George.

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!
- 1 Chronicles 16:34

Another Wonderful Sunday!

That's me and our newest member, Richard Senff. This picture is just begging for a caption, but I'm not sure I can think of anything that will do it justice! Suffice it to say that, despite our serious looks, it was indeed a joyful day.



Celebrate!

Congratulations!

As is my usual morning habit, I checked out the latest news on www.canrc.org first thing this morning whilst drinking my first coffee (the word "whilst" in this sentence is deliberately employed in honour of the news that I read), and saw the following:

Examined by Classis Ontario West on June 17th, 2009, and declared eligible for call: Candidate Rodney Vermeulen.

Congratulations, Cand. Vermeulen (may I call you Cand.?)!

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Tiffany Plug for her victory in the CanWest CanSpell regional spelling bee in Prince George! Tiffany is a Grade Seven student at Ebenezer Canadian Reformed School (or, as the Prince George Citizen newspaper would say, the "Ebenezer Canadian Reform School," which makes it appear that the spelling champion attends a school for juvenile delinquents), and she now has the opportunity to go to the national championship! Way to go!

Stephen Lawhead

November 14th, 2008

A few weeks ago, Stu Harsevoort recommended the books of Stephen Lawhead on his blog, which is located here: http://stuharse.blogspot.com/2008/10/novels-i-am-reading.html

So I almost immediately hied me (I've even picked up the lingo!) to the nearest library and picked up the "Song of Albion" trilogy.

In this series, a university student from modern-day England is transported to the "Otherworld" of Celtic mythology, where he becomes an important player in a massive upheaval in that world.

Lawhead is a Christian author, and his faith shines through in his writing, in a very beautiful way. As Stu said, this isn't your typical (and, might I add, typically mediocre) "Christian" fiction. Lawhead uses a lot of symbolism and allegory, but it always works as an integral part of the story.

This is a wonderful series of books. I heartily recommend it to anyone who likes things like the Chronicles of Narnia, or fantasy literature in general, or just a great read. Lawhead draws you into the world that he creates in these books, and when I arrived at the last page, I felt like I didn't want it to end. And I did like the ending, Stu.
