ADULTS ADVENT NOV. 21

Adults Advent Weekend - Nov. 21-23
Advent is a time of soul-searching longing for God, a time of waiting with hope and of watching for signs of God's advent. What signs are there all around us that show us God's presence in the world? What Good News do we have for those who are without hope? How do we live as people of hope? In anticipating Advent we'll reflect this weekend on the ways in which we wait, and watch, and live in the signs of God's faithfulness.

The Sisterhood of St. John the Divine will lead this weekend. This will be a weekend woven with theme talks, music, quiet and fellowship within the beautiful surroundings of Camp Columbia.

The weekend begins in the evening Friday and ends after the noon meal on Sunday. Supper will be served on the Friday evening.

COLLEGE & CAREER WEEKEND NOV. 14

College and Career Weekend - Nov. 14-16

"What does it mean to 'belong' in the 21st century? Is it simply having the most friends and belonging to the most groups in Facebook? Having your cell phone constantly ringing
and beeping from all the text messages and phone calls? Or is it something more?

Being a Christian, among many other things, is belonging to the family of God. What does that mean for the 21st century Christian? Are the things we use truly 'tools' to better build intimacy and friendship or have they become hindrances to discovering the richness found in true Christian friendship and community?

Come join me as we look at what it means to be a 21st century Christian in light of the fullness we see of the God shaped life we find in Scripture."

Chris Yue has been a pastor for the past 15 years in Victoria/Vancouver/Duncan. He has a passion for youth and adults to be reached in a way that is real and relevant. Be challenged this weekend not only through scripture but through real life application and a group of people who are seeking to do the same.

This November is our College and Career Weekend for young adults 19+. The weekend involves some sports, some games, some singing, good food, and a great speaker. Bring a bathing suit for an early spring dip in the ocean or dirty clothes for our mud tackle soccer game. Cozy up by the fireplace with your favorite book or go for a brisk hike around the island. This is the 3rd annual weekend for this event and we’re looking forward to seeing you there.

Speaker: Pastor Chris Yue
Ages: 19+
