Did You Know?
Because of the generous donations given to us in memory of Ethel
Hilderman, we have been able to purchase a laptop (soon to be
two—one each for Dave and Joy) and a projector. We have been
learning how to use the system and now have our songs and
scriptures displayed on the wall using PowerPoint. This enables
everyone to be able to read it in big print.
Using this plus our sound system (donated by ECBC church in
Vancouver) has enabled us to make our services more friendly for
those with sight and hearing disabilities. We are grateful and are
having fun with the new possibilities this technology brings.

Once
again we had our summer tent camp at Porpoise Bay Provincial Park
in Sechelt. We were joined by the Sunshine Coast Joy Fellowship
who hosted a BBQ and games day. Dave and Sue Devitt, assisted by
all, organized and hosted a wonderful day for us all.
Here you see eight tents and our fire circle. We are having our
morning devotions, singing to the Lord in the midst of His
marvelous creation. We hope we can go back again next year. |

| Sonya and Lori Ann making a pillow together at summer
camp. Evelyn Woods sewed more than a dozen pillows for us out
of some very fun patterns of material (bowling, cats, dogs,
butterflies etc.) She left an opening just big enough for our
folks to stuff and hand sew the opening closed. For many this
was their first experience sewing and we had some very proud
crafters. Other summer projects involved painting, making
birdhouses, making flags and making bookmarks for our
missionaries. |

We have been having Craft Making Mornings with our friends in the
three Bethesda homes in Richmond. Every month or so we get
together around at least one large table to work on a project:
We've made frames, decorated birdhouses, painted fish and frogs
for the garden and have made Christmas presents and ornaments. The
Bethesda staff and residents are very enthusiastic about the
projects and we have lots of fun and laughter. |
