Palm Sunday Play in Action

Palm Sunday Cast

The kids put on the Palm Sunday re-enactment with costumes and all, directed by Scott.

L-R: Bridger as Jesus, Nicholai as Jesus' friend, Julia as donkey owner, Maya as an enthusiastic crowd member, Rielly as narrator, Aidan as donkey, and the youngest person Anna was a bi-stander.

April Month

April's theme is HIV/AIDS in Africa facilitated by Ian Watson. Ian encouraged people to listen to the Massey Lectures that were broadcasted on CBC Radio last week - which can be found at http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/massey/massey2005.html.

April is also when we celebrate Maya, Kati and Scott's birthdays - in fact, Kati and Scott share the same birthday.

We also welcome a new person to house church -

Some suggested reading..

Here is the link to an article/speech by Peggy & Tony Campolo on their differing opinions on the topic of homosexuality (their words): http://www.bridges-across.org/ba/campolo.htm

And if people haven't read the paper written by Walter Wink picking apart the Bible on the topic of sam sex relations, it is a good read, I think. It can be found at http://www.bridges-across.org/ba/wink.htm#bible.

March has a new theme!

In keeping with our monthly topics/causes, March is going to be same sex marriage and related topic awareness month. I think Gemma, Wendolyn and Scott agreed to put their heads together on this. So, some introduction will happen this Sunday at the Watson's and then on the final Sunday of this month, we will have a presentation or something that will help provide greater awareness to everyone.

Refugee Month is Over

This past Sunday, we had potluck and presentations on Refugees in Canada. Scott spoke from his knowledge and work with the Mennonite Coalition for Refugee Support in Kitchener as a staff person working with refugee claimants. Wendolyn shared information from her time at Association for New Canadians. As a house church, it was agreed that financial offerings would go towards a specific family

~ Wedding Bells ~

A big announcement for Wendolyn and Gemma - they have decided to get married!! And this summer. Congratulations and no doubt our house church will find a way to celebrate that!?!
