Visit to Vancouver

"Visit to Vancouver": [First, make sure you read Ryan's great post from April 16th]
What an amazing 24 hours, eh? Lynne and I had the distinct pleasure last weekend of serving and worshipping with the wonderful Vancouver church of Christ (check out their cool website on www.vancouverchurchofchrist.org). We drove up Saturday afternoon and actually arrived, (no thanks to the annual Skagit Tulipfest--yawn) That night we met with Brian and Sarah Felushko, who lead the congregation, and their ministry leadership group, talking for hours about ministry building and strategy—we were all worn out but edified.
Sunday we enjoyed a terrific time with the church—their use of media and their song service inspired us and made it easier for me to preach on “War and Peace.” Afterwards, we had lunch together in my favorite North American Chinese restaurant with the elder candidates Brian and Sarah are training. It was a privilege to be in the pulpit there in Vancouver; we can’t wait to have Brian and Sarah, and some of their lay leadership down to Seattle to return the favor!!!
