Messages of Love

Posted on by

Over the past few weeks many people have contacted WCV with messages of love, encouragement and assurance of prayer for all of us. Here are just a few we’d like to highlight for you now.

Joyce Rees (National Council Member and Pastor at Epic Vineyard in Kelowna)

The LORD is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18

“In all circumstances we look to the Lord, and our great comfort is that He is close, especially to those who are “crushed in spirit”. My encouragement is that you would keep turning toward Him. Speak honestly to Him. Many are praying, most hours of every day, that you would experience the Holy Spirit’s presence very near to you. We are sending you our love.”

David and Anita Ruis (Vineyard Canada National Directors)

“You are not alone.”

“Hey WCV family,

We just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know we love you and are walking beside you as you journey through this challenging time.

People coast to coast are holding you in prayer. We are coming alongside your team there with as much resourcing and support as we can muster.

You are not alone. We’re in this together. Be assured of our care and concern for everyone impacted, and our deep awareness of the wide range of emotions, reactions and triggers that such events bring to the surface. We are extremely proud of the way you are handling this.

Huge love and prayers.”

David and Anita, on behalf of your Vineyard Canada family.

And this week Provencher Community Church gifted us this painting that was created for our community during a recent worship service. It was delivered personally, with warmth and love. The back is signed, “Standing together with our Vineyard family.”

There are many more messages like this that will continue to be shared.

WCV Community Campout

Posted on by

About 40 of us made it out to our annual community campout over the long weekend. The weather was just right, the fire well tended, friendship was nurtured and the food kept flowing as we shared with one another. There is something special about being together like this – away from the busyness of city life. We welcomed in new friends and sat with old friends too. Some highlights this year included a C.S. Lewis read aloud around the fire, an entertaining game of Jenga and a delicious feast that was joyfully prepared by Bill and Katherine. In the middle of it all, one member of our community looked up and said, “People are so generous here.” It’s really true. Thank you to everyone who came out. You extended love to each other in such beautiful ways.

Fatherheart Sessions

Posted on by

Father wants you to know Him loving you right now!

Many people have said that it is difficult to take a week off to do the Fatherheart A Schools that we’ve hosted in the past.  These  “taster sessions” are for those who want to find out what it’s all about, but who can’t commit to a whole week.

Trevor and Linda Galpin are international Team Leaders with Fatherheart Ministries and will be teaching these sessions.  Their passion is to teach a prophetic revelation of the Father’s love that brings us to live as sons and daughters.  They travel extensively as the International coordinators of Fatherheart World, which is the relational network of friends and supporters of Fatherheart Ministries around the world.  The Galpins speak at churches, conferences and lead “A Schools” in the US, Europe and Africa.  One of Trevor’s passions is church history and he teaches this at the Inheriting the Nations School in New Zealand.  He loves to write about their traveling and journey with the Father.  If you’d like to read more about them, you can visit their blog.

Dates & Times:

Sunday, March 15th, 2:30pm-4:00pm

Monday, March 16th, 7:00pm-8:30pm

Cost:

$25 per person for both sessions.
