I’m dusting off this thing to keep you all updated on a new venture. I think I told you all about Glenn Davies and the church plant in Squamish back in February or something like that. Well, Nick and I moved our junk in last Tuesday and are just getting settled in. The resumés are out and the first worship service is already behind us.

It’s an awkward stage we’re in right now. We technically moved a week ago, but we haven’t actually lived in Squamish until Sunday. We were back on Wednesday for the show at The Reach. Nathan was the Magician, Conrad, Jason, Nick and I were The Gates of Love. It went better than one would expect from one practise beforehand. Went back to Squamish for Thursday, only to be in Langley again on Friday for a Sue/Evelyn joint Birthday baseball game and altogether good time. Happy Official Birthday Evelyn, by the way. Mom and Dad showed up a couple hours after us in Squamish on Saturday with our beds and last things.

We began our worship for The Rock on Sunday. Right now we are having “preview services” at the Adventure Centre just off Highway 99. It’s a small, temporary venue, but it worked out fine. Glenn spoke about Genesis 2 and a chunk of what that entails. Needless to say, the sermon was on the longer side. The story of how we began can bring up a thing or two.

Darrell and Adrienne came up for Sunday and Monday to support. After the service, we all headed to Whistler with Matt, our roomate and Glenn’s middle son. We walked around and laughed, and then met up with Naomi and Sean for dinner. Went to Dubh Linn’s, laughed some more. Apparently Sean and I had never had Guinness before because we wanted a pitcher of it. Afterward Sean and Naomi left and we went to eat chocolate and give each other hiccups. I cannot emphasize it enough. We laughed a lot.

On Monday Darrell, Adrienne, Matt, Nick and I explored our new town. We walked all around the downtown area, we drove up the hill to see Quest. Matt had to work in the evening, so we spent some time in our apartment before visiting him at Boston Pizza. Spent the whole time trying to convince Darrell that they should stay another night, but to no avail. Come on, man! Priorities! They ended up going home from Boston Pizza while Nick and I walked over the the movie theatre to see Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds.” Actually a pretty great movie. I would have subtitled it “Jewish Revenge” or something like that. A pretty powerful ending, I would say.

Well that about wraps it up so far. Nick and I are off to rent a movie and grab a coffee at “Zephyr,” a decent cafe that our friend Jill-Marie from church works at. She’s moving in on September first. Should be good.
