Vancouver Filipino SDA Church Awaits New Pastor
Church members have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of their new pastor in the person of Pastor Levi J. Estores, former president of the Western Visayan Conference in the Philippines. He is expected to arrive in a few weeks. Let us continue praying for him, his family and his ministry.
Prequel to a Major Fundraiser
With major mission projects already in the plans for the coming years, the church is looking into a number of possible fundraising activities. A group of enthusiastic members assembled at the church front, Sunday, September 7, 2008, to visit a blueberry farm in Aldergrove and harvest its azure fruits that could later be resold as a major source of funds. With the Dezas leading and First Elder Ed Flores and his wife Monet, along with Elder Merriam dela Cruz, Elder Ed Subade, Elder Joel Batulayan and family and other church members, the group spent under two hours under the summer sun picking blueberries. The group also enjoyed the picnic that followed. Overall it was a wonderful experience for everyone from the youngest to the elderly.

Children's Preaching Hour
September 6, 2008 unveiled to the Vancouver congregation and all those in attendance during the Hour of Worship once more that "a little child shall lead them". Under the direction of Sister Ching Pedernal and her associates, the Adventurers, Pathfinders, and other Deer Lake School students presented "What a Faithful God We Have". Awe-inspiring, heart-warming, and practical were the messages delivered in speeches, songs, and skit. Let us be faithful to Him and to one another as He has been always faithful to us!

Elder Josue Andallo Preaches at Vancouver
The first elder of Abundant Life Community Church, Elder Josue Andallo, was the divine worship speaker on August 30, 2008. His illustration of sheep as restless creatures parallels today's pace of society which is even felt among our church members. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, knows where to lead us, His sheep, and allow us pass the "Bridge Over Troubled Waters."
The girls of the primary and junior classes rendered the beautiful song "I'm Available" during the service.
Once a member of the Vancouver church, Elder Andallo also blessed the church with music together with his family.
