LET THE RACE BEGIN…..

Chaplains have moved into the Olympic village, pinheads have begun trading pins, and world visitors are arriving.  Now is our moment to shine as the one church!  As we work together in our beautiful diversity – to serve generously and to pursue justice, let us reflect the radical hospitality of Christ in all we say and do, that Jesus alone be honored.

SEIZING THE OPPORTUNITY...

The ONE church in the Lower Mainland...is mobilized to extend the radical hospitality of Christ during the Games!

 LAST CHANCE...

The evidences are everywhere in Vancouver that the Olympics are just around the corner! Street closures have begun and the call to take transit have been intensified. If you are planning to volunteer during Games Time, this next week is your last opportunity to get plugged in. So...what are you waiting for?

December 2009

Advent Greetings! In this season of waiting and anticipating - the One who has come...and will come again, we are invited to consider afresh that 'the heavens have been torn open and God has come down to us and showed us how to live'. May you be stunned afresh at the mystery and miracle of Emmanuel, God with us. It truly is...good news!

 

TIME FOR MOBILIZATION

 

The More Than Gold vision of the diversity of the church working together in harmony to generously extend the radical hospitality of Christ, has captured the attention of thousands across the Lower Mainland.

Now, the time has come for action for those joining these united efforts. Over 50,000 hours of volunteer service is needed during the Olympics for More Than Gold initiatives.

November 2009 II

The Christian community is gearing up for Olympic outreach. More Than Gold is mobilizing a variety of initiatives - and there are 100's of opportunities to volunteer! Inspire your friends and church to join in the efforts (consider bringing them to one of our trainings in the next 2 weeks to learn more about how they can be involved). Now is the time...

November 2009

There is no other agency like the church of Jesus Christ for real hope, reconciliation and transformation. What if we together built a movement of lavish hospitality and used the Games as a catalyst? Could this be a moment for the church to shine - as compassionate people who love well, despite difference of preferences and practices.

October 2009 II
