anticipation

Do you remember your first __________? Maybe first date, first kiss, first day of school, first time waterskiing, first time you drove a car?

Well today, will be a first, because at 6:30pm (PST) Gateway Community Church will be hosting an incredible team of 60 people from Mountainview Church, from Fresno California. This group has come to share their joy in an amazing God that loves everybody. The team is made up people of all ages and they are really excited to come and serve the people of Port Alberni.

The June 26-July 5 will consist of amazing times of worshipping & praying together, to doing acts of service (such as painting signs, doing yardwork for neighbors, cleaning up the Log train Trail & joining in the Canada Day Parade), and running a 2 day kids sports camp for all kids at Blair Park.

I enter this week with much anticipation and faith that God will do miracles in many people's lives. I'm reminded of the verse in Hebrews 11 - "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

*You will want to be part of this exciting week....stop by for a Sunday service at 10:30am (July 5 - we'll be outside in the parking lot at 8th & Roger St.).

Hello Paul,

Hey George,
Great to host you...and the other 59 people in Port Alberni. It was great to ride out to Tofino with you on the Saturday. I certainly appreciated your heart to share and serve the people of Port Alberni. Blessings,
Paul
