November (pt 2) Floors
We are in a push to get the main room “done” (if there is such a thing) by our Community Carol Service on December 11. The last major thing has been having these original, thick pine floors sanded, repaired, and sealed. The change is…

November (pt 1) Windows
There has been a shocking lack of posts thus far in November. It is past time to let you know what has been going on at Re:Hope. Two weeks ago we received the gift of clear windows. No longer does our church look “boarded up” and the transformation has been incredible.
I have seen so many people stop and look in. Some people have walked by this building for decades and had no clue what it looked like on the inside. It has been amazing!
Check out the transformation.

Prayer Request
Re:Hope is growing like crazy, people are coming to Christ, huge spiritual break-throughs are taking place in peoples’ lives, the building is being continually refreshed, but many of our team are under unusual and diverse spiritual attack.
Kellie, Emma, and Owen have been extraordinarily sick with flu this week, and both Kellie and I are feeling unusually stretched and worn. Kellie has been really stressing recently and we don’t know exactly why.
Scott is in the Hospital waiting for surgery for what looks to be a tumour. A scary time for both he and Monica.
Todd and Ruth were burgled a few weeks back, and then yesterday while Todd was there someone kicked open his door again. Todd yelled and scared them off, but scary stuff.
Andy and Julie had their baby Sophie Hope 10 weeks early and spend most of their days going back and forth to the hospital.
Kirsty has so much responsibility just now and we’re praying the Lord sustains her.
There are other things, good things but still intense- like Brian and Shauna having their baby this morning, as well as Mike and Jaelyn having their baby just days ago.
Needless to say, our team could use a bunch of extra prayer. We, as a team (those not in one hospital or another) got together for two hours of prayer and intercession for one another this morning but thought we would also ask those of you out there to pray as well.
Brian.

Good times!

Autumn Feast – Southern BBQ and Open Mic
The ceiling painters finished up just in time for the first feast in the new location. What a great night – open invite, fantastic food, open mic with fun and talented musicians. Food and fellowship and mission. Such a great night!

Church Ceiling Painted.
Sanctuary ‘before’ picture – April 2011. This actually looks cozy in the photo, and we were a bit sad to see the pews go so we could have tables and other events in this room. We are really enjoying the refreshed sanctuary – neutralised with warm white walls, wood, silver and black. We’ve hopefully maintained enough original features.
And here are the after shots – just brighter and without the orange half- circle behind the organ. The painters we hired to do this job that was ‘over our heads’ was a good move. They did a fine job and finished in time for our Autumn Feast last night. Praise God for his provision. Re:Hope continues to be debt-free and we are so thankful.
New lighting, original woodwork. Liking the old and new getting along.
Monica and Scott cleaned and hung the old glass light shades. I really like the chains they hang on from the ceiling.
Lying on the stage, looking up. Again – enjoying the old organ and the new sound system getting along.

PS – The above two pictures from a church in France were great inspiration for the silver organ pipes and the cream walls. Of course our church building isn’t nearly as grand, but I found these inspiring for obvious reasons.
