QUENCH setup...

... we are setting up for QUENCH today. Lots of things to do besides setting the speakers/projectors/sound equipment... and so on.

Yours truly will go help this time with the power of my lungs and fingers!!! Wondering what I'm talking about? Can't tell you. It a surprise. But let's just says there are about 2000 of them. Hoping we can do them all but again - we shall see.

Are you thirsty? QUENCH is tomorrow - Saturday 20th.

Wondergin what's happening?

Since January, we had 2 raves and regular services. We are currently in the midst to incorporate more multimedia that will speak more to the younger generation. We are currently meeting twice a week with a service on June 13th, a rave on the 20th and another service on the 27th of June.

Like I said we had two raves since January and another one coming soon.

The first rave was White As Snow and the decor was very... well white. We had scalfolders set up with lights from behind some sort of white curtains. Many came and it was a great evening.

The second rave was Creation. A different crowd came that evening and the music was good thanks to the various DJs.

The rave coming up will be called Quench! We have a special visitor from California coming to spin that night. DJ Faith is looking forward to experience a night with you. So please come and have a great evening at one of the HEAT raves. June 20th is the night. Check out the website http://www.heatworshiphouse.com for more details.

Potluck for the Spiritual Groups at OttawaU

Earlier this week, pastor Rob got an invitation to go to a potluck organized by the spiritual services of Ottawa U. We had advertized in the Fulcrum, a university paper, and it seems to bring it's fruits. Last week, we got contacted by CBC radio and Rob went for an interview that will possibly pass this Friday morning and now this invitation.

The goal of the potluck is to give an opportunity for different clubs to introduce themselves to the students and to get to know what the other clubs are doing on campus.

So pastor Rob is wearing his H.E.A.T. t-shirt and is going down to Ottawa U as I am writing this to participate to an interesting potluck.

Psalm113 Rave

Shut! Don't tell our team...

... but yesterday afternoon I went to pick up the banner we had ordered.

The first guy we approached and dealt with for more than three weeks just wanted to get paid under the table. Oh at first he asked for cash... Not an option we told him. Then he said he would made an invoice but wanted the cheque made to his name. What??? So we told him to forget about the banner.

That was Wednesday. Pastor Rob called around to see if it could be done for Saturday. Found a wonderful little place in the city who was quite busy because of the elections in Canada but said they would do it.

I picked it up yesterday. It looks FABULOUS! I can't wait to see the reaction of the team... They don't know we have it. We were not sure we could find a place who would do it in such short notice. We are quite satisfied with this company. I even met the owner and she is very nice...

I'll take a picture tonight for a future posting.

PSALM113 Rave

Tonight is the night of our first event. Psalm113 we called it. I will give more details on how it was and probably pictures as well. Pray. We need it. Thanks.

Goodbye Power Plant

Yesterday was the last day of Power Plant and the team went downtown to evangelize a bit - something that was hard to do while doing the door-to-door... We have almost distributed ALL the bibles (only about 150 left).

We got interesting contacts - one from a DJ of techno music and another one from a guy who works at the radio on the University of Ottawa (who is coming to check out the church on Saturday!). We also got contacted by the English paper of the University - The Fulcrum and they have sent us some advertisement prices for the Frosh week and on... Funny to think I was hesitating to put some there but I did with the thought they would probably want to interview us... Maybe they would some day - after the Rave on September 13.

But a radio interview might be done which is very encouraging... We got lots of stories and we had a great time with the team from Toronto. Once again thanks to Carlos and his wife Suzie, Johny, William, Manuela and Diana. We hope to see you again someday. Oh and thanks to J. She was a great help during two days. Our son Alexandre went too and wants to do it again eventually. Bless you all!
