Hey TOH,
We’re excited to celebrate Easter with you all this Sunday night at our place, 5:00pm. We live at 2602 Kitchener St.
We’ll celebrate together over a meal, some worship, and hearing the Easter Story.
In order to have a great meal together, we thought it would be helpful to have everyone sign up to bring something to share to make sure we have a good variety of food. So please sign up for one of the dishes from the email sent to the google group.
Cheers
The Open House will be meeting at the Kehler’s this Sunday (21st) at 5pm. 1613 E. 4th Ave. Vancouver, BC (of course)
It is going to rock… bring some food to share as always – unless this is your first time with us, or it feels like it, because we haven’t seen you in more than 5 months 
Kyle will be making an important announcement and leading us in a discussion about The Open House and changes with leadership team.
C U Sunday night.
Hello TOHers,
This Saturday @ 8:00pm sharp we will be handing out hot beverages to passersby at the Yaletown Skytrain station. We will however be meeting at More Than a Roof Agency (address below). It is very important that everyone who can make show up because we NEED to have 15 people there. My guess is that we have around 8 people right now that will be coming, so that’s not nearly enough, so please invite friends, co-workers, etc. This is a Christian initiative, but don’t be afraid to invite all types. Here’s the nitty gritty on the where/when/what stuff:
Site: Yaletown Roundhouse
YELLOW ZONE
At the beginning of your shift, meet at More Than A Roof Agency – 1267 Granville Street / Drake Avenue – Office location is #208, Buzzer #66
Show up and Check in
The first 30mins-1 hour of the shift is designated orientation and set up time. This is already allotted in the shift.
When you arrive at the perking site where you are to volunteer, please locate the YELLOW MORE THAN GOLD FOLDER. In it, you will find a SIGN IN sheet. Please take a MORE THAN GOLD NAME TAG and record your contact information on the sign-up sheet. Please return this name tag at the end of your shift.
If you have not yet completed and returned a waiver form, please read the CODE OF CONDUCT and sign the WAIVER FORM. We need to have this prior to you volunteering. Please note the ZONE of your site and act accordingly.
A Salvation Army site manager will be at the station to orient you to the specific site.
Site Specific Information for Beverage Services
Type of Station: Staging tent only
You will be using a dolley to transport the coffee cambros. Distances range from 8-10 blocks. The perking station is More than a Roof Agency. The staging sit will be limited to a table with cambros on it. We won’t be using backpacks at this station as the line ups will be too tight.
Washrooms are available at this location.
Peak hours are estimated to be from 3pm-6pm and from 10pm-midnight.
Contact Person: Dallas
This facility does not have an on-site caretaker and also has the following considerations.
It is a subsidized housing complex and therefore extra attention is needed to provide security for the residents. The residential tenancy requirement is that there is no noise after 11pm. However, there are no residents on the first floor and Dallas has arranged for the rec room to be available for the late shift.
A fob and key for entrance will be provided by Dallas to the Salvation Army site manager. There will have to be a transfer to each shift site manager with special consideration for night shift to afternoon shift. Logistics need to be worked out. The Exit is an automatic locking door.
The kitchen is on the 2nd floor and is available for 2pm – 7pm shift only
8pm – midnight shift will use the recreation room on the first floor. This has a sink and there will be tables provided to brew the coffee. (Coffee percs will have to be brought down from the kitchen in between shifts)
1 – 40c. perc is onsite, the rest will have to be provided by MTG and could be stored with the supplies
Storage of all supplies will be in the rec room.
Facility is 8-10 blocks from the Yaletown Station.
I will be there a bit early, so if you have a hard time finding the place, shoot me an email and I’ll coach you through it.

Hey everyone,
Since the Olympics have come upon us and many have either fled the scene (you know who you are Armstrong’s); and others are at least curious with the on-goings, we are going to move our little nest gatherings to our house for the next 2 Sunday’s.
We live at 3274 William Street, and are opening our home to enjoy some hang out time and conversation while enjoying some Olympic activity.
This Sunday (February 21) has the highlight of the USA playing Canada in men’s hockey, so we are inviting people to come over at 4pm for the 4:30pm game time. We are still going to do a potluck, so feel free to invite a friend and bring a dish to share. We have a BBQ if anyone wants to play chef.
This is a great time to come and visit us if you are new and looking to connect with a new church; even our smaller community. Looking forward to connecting.
Hey everyone,
Looking forward to connecting this week at little nest, as Deric leads us through John 10 and Derek updates us on our potluck for the 30th of this month and a few other items regards some activities we are going to be involved in in February and March.
We also will take some time to pray for the people in Haiti, as tragedy hit this country this past week (January 12) through an earthquake.
Here is an article on Haiti’s brief history.
Here is an article on some of the facts (numbers of Haiti).
The death toll in Haiti could reach 200,000 (article).
We are also going to talk about donating to the relief efforts in Haiti through P51.
for those people who will be in the city on sunday, come on over to
the coopers!!
bsmt –3274 william st.
5pm, for potluck and hanging out.
see some of you then!!!
Hey everyone,
Due to the lack of a venue and the simple fact that the majority of our community will be away this Sunday, we are going to cancel the gathering.
We will be back at little nest on January 10th at 5pm for our usual potluck and discussion time as we explore John 10 together.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
