Campus Update for May 19, 2006

Hi everyone,

It’s almost the May long weekend. If you are going camping or just relaxing at home, have a great time. If you are in the area please join us at either our North Shore or Langley campus.

Great music starts at 10:30 a.m. and this week the Message is called “What do you really want?”

Jesus is the master of the next question.

His teaching often revolves around questions like, “What do you want me to do for you?” and “How badly do you want it?”. We are going to discuss these big questions this week.

Next weekend is all about celebrating some of God’s good things.

10:30 am at North Shore campus we are going to raise the roof and say yeah God as we welcome Hassan as Creekside’s first Muslim Christian member. Please pray for Hassan and those who are stepping up to this important commitment.

Several people are moving towards membership at Langley campus as well. Details should be coming soon.

Then at 6:30 p.m. we are going to have another celebration to dedicate Ruby Klein’s baby to Jesus.

Check the website and the announcement slides at both campuses for details.

Small groups are a big deal at Creekside.

There are groups meeting in North Vancouver, Vancouver, Burnaby, and Surrey. For more information check out the poster on the notice board or contact Tara Emmons at tara.emmons@gmail.com.

Children's Ministry Needs

Imagine a whole group of children really excited about Jesus and coming to meet with their friends. That’s a picture of what God is doing week after week through our children’s ministry teams.

Our teams do an awesome job of connecting kids with Jesus and each other. And they are looking for some people to help take that to the next level.

They are looking for people who can be in the room to help the teacher as well as people who can play a musical instrument.

Gina Aitchison (email), the North Shore team leader says she can adapt the schedule to fit with people’s busy lives. Ryon Howell (email) and Tammy Fleming (email) agree.

Please pray about this and speak with either of them or email them.

Thanks for your prayers

Alfonso is improving. It’s great to have a church family that cares and prayers. If you have any specific requests and would like them to go out in this Pastor’s Update, please send them to Jim Gaull (email).

God's best to each of you,

Jim Gaull & Colin Griffiths
