Serve Vancouver - This Week

SERVE VANCOUVER
This Thursday!


This Thursday is the Open Door Serve Vancouver Evening. It's a chance to express our DNA as a community in a tangible way. Our Community life verse is Matthew 5:16: "Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven." Let's make this a really special evening.

Here is how it will work:

1) Hannah, James, Kayla, and Steven are making soup (please make enough)
2) Hannah will bring bread
3) Lizzie will bring sandwiches
4) Joe will bring cups/ gloves/ and spoons
5) We will all meet at the Jungs at 7pm (sharp) and will take the bus/ drive to the corner of Main and Hastings (401 Main Street Vancouver BC V6A 2T7)
6) We will stand in small groups of 3-4 on the four corners at Main and Hastings serving soup/bread/and sandwiches to people walking by who are interested.
7) We will start serving by 7:45 and be done by 8:45.

The goal of this evening is to serve vancouver by simply feeding anyone who is hungry with dignity and a smile. This is a great event to invite a friend to.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Movie Night this week!

See this week's newsletter - HERE

The Open Door Community is will be watching "Up in the Air". It's a movie about "a man with job that has him traveling around the country firing people. Ryan Bingham leads an empty life out of a suitcase, until his company does the unexpected: ground him"




After the movie we will have time for small group discussion on various ideas and issues which arrise out of the movie. This is a great event to invite a friend to experience the Open Door community.




A few comments about this movie.
It's important to reconize that the movies we select have been selected not simply because "they are good" or "entertaining" but because they are thoughtful, a social critic, or a movie which has the capacity to generate robust and healthy discussion. And while we will not select movies which intend to celebrate or hearold sin we will also not shy away from movies which have sin in them. The purpose of movie nights are to discusss, disagree, challange, and be challanged by a director/writer/actor's work of art. We do this, as in all things, through a Christian worldview. So, as to not to cause anyone to stumble unrighteously as a result of this movie..please be aware that this movies (and all movies) rating and the reasons for that rating selection.




We will be meeting at the Jung's at 7pm (the movie will start at 7 exactly)
