Calling all NSA teen artists! Do you want to showcase your art skills and do something to help the church?

We're making banners for Easter, and we need your designs!! 

WHO: Teens of NSA! We can have up to 10 participants.

WHAT: create a drawing or design of WHITE LILIES. Traditonally in art, lilies represent the Holy Spirit. Each design will be printed in white onto a coloured background. 

HOW: mark off (vertically) a regular size piece of paper so that the design only takes up 5.5in x 11in on an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper. Draw in one colour only- we will be printing your artwork in WHITE on a light purple background. 

Designs could be abstract, realistic, repeated like fabric- it's up to the artist! Please keep in mind that it is for a church sanctuary and must be appropriate (e.g. no manga, sorry guys!)

Also, remember that the design will be enlarged so will get a bit fuzzy. Fine details may be lost

WHEN: Deadline APRIL 5TH

Each selected design will be made into a banner - and the artists can have their banner after Easter! 

To submit your design, please email a PDF copy to Kirsti Satake: blueberrymonsters@gmail.com 

If you don't have PDF capabilities, you can drop your design at the church office to be scanned.

Andrea’s work with Journey began in 2006, and focuses on providing support & prayer for women affected by sexual abuse and sexual addiction. She has a passion for women to experience the deep love of Jesus, and to see them live securely in their God-given identities.

Through the pandemic, zoom became the only format available for spouses groups. Although this format was new to many, it opened up space for women who live in remote areas or areas where no groups exist to receive support.

Prayer Requests:

• Please pray for the women to experience Jesus in their deep places of pain.
• Pray for those who are stuck in silence and shame to turn to the church for support. 
• Pray for Andrea as she leads groups and trains facilitators across the country.

VISION AND TEAM:

Since mission trips have been on hiatus since COVID, Green Bay Bible Camp is opening up a new way for youth groups to do a trip together that has mission trip elements. This opportunity will provide discipleship training through loving service!
 
Pastor Brendan is looking for 8-10 grade 10-12 students to serve with on this week long trip!

You may notice some new signs up in our parking lot! We are loving our neighbours by sharing our parking lot with the nearby North Van Rec Centres and Centennial Theatre until mid-June.

Please feel free to continue parking in any available spot on Sunday mornings.  During the week, those with mobility issues can park in the front near the church, and we encourage others to park in row 6 or above.

We are grateful to you, and to God, for the ongoing generosity of your giving.  At the end of the 2021 calendar year, we received some unexpected financial gifts.  We will be seeking God’s direction in how to use these funds to further the ministry of North Shore Alliance both locally and globally.
