Church, Cars, and Chillin

On June 24, 2012  I woke up to James wanting blueberry pancakes so i made breakfast for us before going to Church. for those that know me  I love breakfast!!! Anyway, The Love Chilliwack Event ended with a Church service with many of the local Churches gathering at the Prospera Center for a time of Worship and Message.  It was good to be among many other believers worshipping together and hearing a message from one of the local Pastors.  What a great way to start the day and also to start the week.  After Church we went right to the local car show that was held in down town Chilliwack.  Honestly, I personally havent seen a car show this large in the states especially in Toms River, New Jersey.  I had a great time walking around looking at all the Classic, Antique, and Custom cars with friends and enjoyed a great lunch together.  After we walked around, ate, walked around more, and had ice cream  we dropped friends off and got ready to go to Hugh and Sandras house for dinner and fellowship. I left there encouraged and uplifted by friends used by God.  Thanks

                    Poor James!! LOL!!   Breakfast was awesome. Love Blueberry pancakes.

LOVE CHILLIWACK, BC DAY

On Satuday June 23,2012  The local Churches of the city of Chilliwack, BC in Canada joined together to reach out to their community.  It was a day filled with events and acts of kindness to all those living in the community.  I was so blessed to be a part of that day and meet alot of great people, young and old. This event concluded with the local Churches gathering on Sunday morning on June 24, 2012 for one large service with worship and a message. Enjoy the pictures!!!


Pastor Todd, of City Life Church in Chilliwack, giving direction and praying for the event.

 Photographers for the day. Friend Neil, James and Sarah 
they each had certain places to go and take pictures.

Figuring out who is going where
James: so!! What about Water Park?  Neil: Not there yet still working on it!!

Workers who will be handing out water and chips to motorists when at a red light.

It was great to see the youth be excited about blessing people in the community.



                                                       Some really got into it  LOL

                           Kids painted pictures and displayed them on a tree. was very cute!!!

face painting is always a favorite for kids and adults also.
There was some walking around with their faces painted. LOL

The Hotdog Cookers 
Friend Kyle is on left.

 The servers. 
 Friend Sandra on left. Her and her husband Hugh are amazing people.

Another church that served Hotdogs and hamburgers as you got your car washed for free.

Car washes were always fun with the youth group.


Our last stop and my favorite part of the whole love Chilliwack was going to the nursing home and seeing the smiles on all the men and women that live there.  They are all so precious and love to have visitors.  Jamie, another new friend I made here, spoke to all the residents.  Awesome job he did!!  After he spoke there was a time for prayer and meeting each person along with each woman receiving a flower and each man getting a large cookie.  YUM!!!
Jamie sharing his testimony and what God has done for him and his family.



     This is Jennifer   What a sweet and cute lady. She also had a Bob Marley Poster in her room  LOL

Me and Pastor Hugh Layzell
What a great man of God!! His Great Grand Father worked with Charles Spurgeon,
who was a Great Preacher, and his Grand Father was saved at one of Charles Spurgeons services.
Looking Forward to going to breakfast with him and his wife and hearing great stories of revival.
