Welcome Back from Summer Picnic

Lisa Russell

You are invited to Whytecliff Park at 11am for a picnic with the Revolution Church Family. (This will be instead of the regular online service.) Please bring a picnic lunch for your own family and invited friends. As well, remember to bring your own blanket and chairs to sit on.

We will set up somewhere near the child’s playground. Please remember to be mindful of the current Covid precautions as we enjoy each other’s company. As you know, Whytecliff Park can be very busy on the weekend, so be prepared for difficulty finding parking and maybe consider carpooling with a friend.

We can’t wait to see everyone again. Last time we had a BBQ there was such a good turnout and it was a very special time. As we will likely be limited from gathering as one group for some time yet, we look forward to these outdoor activities to see everyone’s faces.

Outdoor Service on the Beach, August 23rd

Lisa Russell

You are invited to join us for an outdoor service on the beach at Larson Bay, located on the shore below Gleneagles Golfcourse. The morning will start at 10:00am for a pre-service mixer with coffee and donuts followed by the beachside service from 10:30 – 11:30am. You can access Larson Bay Park by either parking at Gleneagles Golf Course and walking along the creekside trail down to the water, or driving to the end of Gleneagles Drive and parking at Larson Park. The approach to the beach is a bit steep so make sure to wear comfortable shoes. We look forward to gathering together outdoors while the sun is still shining. 

This service will be instead of our online streaming service. We will, however, make it available on Facebook Live. If you haven’t liked our Facebook page yet, you can do so at https://www.facebook.com/RevolutionChurchVancouver/.

Baptism Service on the Beach

Lisa Russell

We are so excited for our baptism service Sunday, August 2nd, Ambleside Beach, 10am. Three people are getting baptized! Woohoo 🙌Thank you Jesus! Please arrive early enough to find parking. We will be meeting on the beach in front of the basketball courts. Look for the multicolored umbrella 🏖. Pack a picnic and join us afterwards for a swim, sports, and family fun. Don’t forget your sunscreen!

Easter Services

Lisa Russell

Even though we are contained by and uncertain about our present circumstances, we are grateful and celebrate the fact that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This Easter we participate and remember the greatest story every told, that “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son.” Revolution Church invites you to join us for our Easter Services online:

Good Friday Communion Service, 11:00am – 12:00pm, via Zoom (Check the Calendar for the Zoom link)

Resurrection Sunday Celebration Service, Streaming Online 10am, April 12th

 

Revolution Kids Check-In

Lisa Russell

Hey Revolution Kids! Join Nicole and Jeremy Sundays for a check-in with them and your friends from Sunday school. Bring your most loved stuffy, toy, or book to share with the group. Nicole and Jeremy can’t wait to see you there!

Mid-Week Check-In with Nick and Lisa

Lisa Russell

This is an unprecedented time in history. We are all trying to make sense of our new “normal” and establish routines that bring purpose and discipline to our days. As a church that is used to connecting weekly (often several times a week), it is strange indeed to now find ourselves in a place where we no longer have that cherished face-to-face. During this time, Nick and Lisa would like to offer a weekly engagement point to personally connect, chat, share our victories and challenges, and pray.

  • Tuesday, Ladies Check-In with Lisa, 2:00pm – 3:30pm
  • Tuesday, Men’s Check-In with Nick, 8:00pm – 9:00pm

March 17th COVID-19 Announcement

Lisa Russell

Dear Church Family,

As you all are well aware, things are changing very quickly in the world as it responds to the seriousness of COVID-19. Most recently, the District of West Vancouver has shut down all of its recreational and cultural buildings, this includes the Gleneagles Clubhouse. Further to this, the municipal and federal governments are discouraging gatherings of more than 50 people. Given these most recent developments, it is obvious that Revolution Church will not be having regular Sunday meetings until further notice. Mid-week small group gatherings will also remain closed. We will reassess the wisdom of opening up small groups and prayer meeting after the Spring Break.

A silver lining to all of this is that we now have an opportunity to dial in our on-line service option. Jeremy and the team are working hard to make the appropriate purchases and choose the right platform to offer a high quality offering. This will allow us to stay connected, worship, and take communion together live on Sunday mornings. We will be setting up The Hub as our Sunday morning “production studio.” Thank you Jesus that we have this awesome facility at our disposal.

We are all in unchartered waters. At this time, we encourage each of you to press in daily to God and to stay connected and encourage each other in faith and service to God, to our church community, and to our neighbourhoods.

Much love to you all.

Nick and Lisa, for the leadership team.

COVID-19 Announcement

Dear Church Family,

This last Wednesday night during the prayer meeting, there was such a sense of the peace of God, His protection, and His favour. We are so blessed to be held so closely by our loving and protective heavenly Father. No matter what we face, His wings are spread wide and we, as His children, enjoy His special attention and covering. In light of this assurance, we are not dismayed or afraid, but we do remain sober and vigilant regarding the changes happening in our world, and in particular, the Corona Virus (COVID-19).

We are aware and staying up to date on the developing news surrounding cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in British Columbia. We are monitoring the situation and following the official recommendations from the Minister of Health in BC. As a result, Nick and I have cancelled our trip to Palm Springs over Spring Break. We will be vacationing closer to home at this time. We will also continue to monitor things as pertains to our church family.

At this time, there is no need for us to alter our regular Sunday meetings. We have already cancelled our mid-week meeting times for the duration of Spring Break and that will give us some time to assess the pandemic situation as it develops.

In regard to our Sunday gathering, we request that you take personal responsibility for yourself and your family as pertains to the following. Regular handwashing and keeping a safe personal distance are the most effective ways of limiting infection. Other than common-sense protocols applied with wisdom and care, there really is no need to panic:

  • Reduce personal contact (no welcome handshakes, hugs, etc.)
  • All volunteers must sanitize/wash hands routinely
  • Parents, please take responsibility for your kids and make sure they sanitize/wash hands as they enter the building and before going to Sunday School classes
  • Children (and adults) showing any signs of illness must be kept home
  • If you are elderly or immunocompromised, please consider staying home for now
  • Stay connected and post prayer requests on Facebook and using our Church App (available at the Apple App Store, Google Play, or at https://tithely.app.link/revolution-church-vancouver)

God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. As the media continues to promote fear and isolation, we stand fast in faith and the peace of God, which passes understanding and guards our hearts and minds. We know that our God is in control and that we have assurance and healing in the name of Jesus Christ.

Blessings and love to you all.

Nick and Lisa Russell, and the Revolution Church leadership
