Recently we were doing a little bit of filming on the roof for a small video!

While you’re on the roof you might as well do some chin-ups and then…
rest!
Don’t fall!

Crafts and Baking for Seniors
For about the last 20 years our family has made crafts and baking and then stopped by to visit seniors in the community that don’t have many family around.
This Easter we made cross cookies and cross crafts.
Crosses with John 3:16 on them.
One time we made dipped candles.
We sometimes give tracts with the baking and crafts.
Our crafty family! When everyone was involved we would make about 70 – 80 crafts each season but now we make about half that.
James 1:27:
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Easter Program with Bible Study Group
For the past 3 Sundays a group of us from Fairhaven Bible Chapel did an Easter program at 5 different locations. The following pictures are from Porteous Lodge, the final progam.
There were 3 songs with the whole group- “All Glory To Jesus”, “Born To Die”, and “Wonderful Grace of Jesus!”
The narrators.
“How Deep the Father’s Love”
“Man of Sorrows, What A Name!”
The “young people” reciting Bible passages about Jesus death and resurrection.
“When I Survey the Wondrous Cross!”
“Watch the Lamb”.
Jesse playing an arrangement of Tracey Ann Collins- “Power In the Blood”.
“Its About the Cross!”
Andrew and I recited Luke 24: 1-7
Our family playing for a congregational song- A medley of “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today” and “I Serve A Risen Saviour”.
Joshua playing “Joyful Crown”, a medley of “Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee” and “Crown Him with Many Crowns”
“In the Sweet By and By”.
We finished off with “The Wonderful Grace of Jesus”!
(Thanks, Mrs. Noel, for sharing your pictures!)
Trip to Manitoba!
On Monday, March 30, Mom, Heidi, Andrew and I went to Manitoba. Heidi went to visit some friends in Winnipeg, and Andrew and I wanted to go film with our friends the Klassens.
This is a snapshot of all the actors for the movie we filmed the last full day we were in MB. Can you guess what it’s about?
This snapshot is from one of the scenes- “Least I Can Do”, a script written by Timothy Klassen. As you can see, Andrew and I are the shady/bully type characters! As Mom commented, “We came all the way to Manitoba to be bullies?!”:)
Running off some energy so that the characters would be breathless in a scene!
Getting ready to film a scene from up high!
In between filming, we helped do a bit of insulating in the shop.
Here is a sneak peak at one of the action scenes!
A beautiful sunset!
This was a great way to spend Easter week, but the most important thing to remember is the gift that God gave us!
“The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.”
Luke 24: 7b
Final Post about our Trip to the States!!!
This post will cover a few more things that we did on our trip but don’t have many pictures from, for example, the main reason we went on this trip in the first place was to sing at a few places!
Hoover Dam and the bridge over it are quite a phenomenal site to see. Just to give you an idea of the size of the bridge (see below), the little dots you see along the upper edge are people!
The Ethel M Chocolate Factory was somewhat interesting but by the time we got there it was mostly clean up that we could watch…the taste tests were great though!
Joshua by the Joshua tree outside the chocolate factory.
We made a brief stop at San Clemente Beach on our way down the coast between L. A. and San Diego. The flowers are blooming, the palm trees are swaying in the wind and it is beach weather in February!! (At least to people that come from SK.)
It was a priviledge to sing at the Creation Museum on the outskirts of San Diego. This is where the creation movement to respond to the false view of evolution began in North America. As you can see from the posters below, they are still going strong and have many activities happening. Unfortunately, we have no other pictures from there but if you visit their website creationsd.sd.org you will find lots of pictures and information about a great place to visit to give you proof for the truth of what God said in the first part of Exodus 20:11, “For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is.”
On the way to Yuma, we did a tour of a carrot farm that was being harvested in the desert.
There are many RV resorts in Yuma! (and many Canadian snowbirds!!) This one that we sang at has a well attended morning service every Sunday in the winter months.
This may not be a very clear picture but this is the best we have from Organ Stop Pizza in Mesa, AZ. The big Wurlitzer Pipe Organ is connected to all sorts of instruments all around the walls above. The organist plays about 40 minutes of every hour the restaurant is open and then his organ dissappears, circling down into the floor during his breaks. You can make special requests and he played both of ours, “Amazing Grace” and “How Great Thou Art”. In “Amazing Grace”, he was able to imitate the sound of bagpipes perfectly even though that is one instrument he does not have up on the walls connected into the organ.
We have so many interesting memories from this trip and are thankful to God for the opportunities and the safety He provided.
