What is happening so far?

WoW! The last few weeks many things happened. So far we had 4 services and we had fun doing them. The last two, there were less people... but that's okay.

What's the feeling of the services? There is a kid's service at 6pm where we teach the children about something about Jesus. We also dance on the music. We discovered a great way to learn scripture for the kids (and adults) with the God Rocks! DVDs. The team love them... After the kid's service we have a family fun time. So far we did a game involving pop can, the musical chair game, drawing what Jesus meant for us, and Hullaballo from Cranium.

At 7pm this is the adult service and the children goes in a kid's room. So more music, speakers, music again. We had a communion service when one guy was leaving Ottawa to return to Germany. We prayed over him to stay strong in his faith and to impact his country. I sure hope that he is doing well. Sebastian if you read this, give us some news...

Last night, James shared about his trip to Guatemala and what happened there. And Rick Lamothe share about what he learned at a church planting conference in Virginia. WoW! It was a God moment for sure because it talked to us in various ways.

We are learning not to be discourage - after all we didn't do advertizing yet. But we are planning for a H.E.A.T. rave in September with advertizing in the neighbourhood and the Ottawa U. We are planning to start weekly in September after the rave event.

God is blessing us in various ways. Upcoming trip to Pennsylvania to see Club Worship. They are refocusing as it has not being easy for them as well... We will try to encourage each other. Rob and I and the kids will be in PEI for the CCSB Convention with the H.E.A.T. mobile. We can't wait to be there. The H.E.A.T. mobile will drive a lot this coming June - from Ottawa to PA, all around PA, driving to Massachussetts and Boston, Maine, all over the coast to Saint John, NB and then up to PEI. And obviously we have to come back so we will take another route to drive back. Like it or not, it is advertizing.... You should see the reactions we have from getting a picture from the truck with the cellphone on a red light to getting honk at to get the window down to ask questions about H.E.A.T. ! The latest one would be a group of teenagers getting out of their bus in front of our house and asking me questions. Rob always says that this kind of thing only happens to me - but hey I'm the one driving around with the truck all the time... so I am not surprised...
