Dec 2 – 8: Christmas concerts, Red Light, Green Light, Vancouver on Fire . . .

Christmas Tales Justyn.preview2

Justyn Rees is an accomplished story-teller.

The range of Christmas-related activity is already impressive, this early in December. That is probably just as well, because most of the events will be sold out. There is still a tremendous appetite for seasonal activities. Among the highlights:

Christmas Tales

Russ Rosen and Justyn Rees are running all over the province with their Christmas Tales tour, but there are several stops in Metro Vancouver. This week they’ll drop in on Cedar Grove Baptist, Strawberry Hills Cinema and First Baptist Church, and there are more stops to come.

Justyn is a powerful story-teller, and Russ has led worship in several incarnations over the years, including last weekend at the Santa Claus Parade. The two are old friends, having spent five years travelling and evangelizing their way across Canada in the 1990s.

They and some musical partners promise to have you singing along with the traditional carols and inspired by some new ones. 

Singing Christmas Tree

Broadway Church is hosting the Singing Christmas Tree for the 46th year. It appears that all the events between the 6th and 15th are sold out, but the church “would encourage you to take advantage of our non-ticket holder line. Half an hour before performances begin, the doors are opened to non-tickets holders to fill any remaining seats in the auditorium.”

His  ‘Solo Advent Tour’ (he’s not rushing into Christmas) won’t be coming into Vancouver, but keeners can travel out to Chilliwack on Thursday (the 5th) or Abbotsford on Friday (the 6th). He is always worth the trip. Those who can’t make it could buy his Advent e-book, the first in a sequence called PILGRIMAGE: Troubadours Journeying Through the Christian Calendar Year.

Red Light, Green Light

Pickings are a little slim in the non-Christmas department, but Red Light, Green Light, a movie about sex trafficking will play at West Coast Christian Fellowship, St. Andrew’s Hall and First Baptist this week. This film is on a 10-month tour across North America, and two of the filmmakers will be around to answer questions.

Vancouver on Fire

Blessings Indonesian Church invites everyone to join them this Saturday (December 7) as they celebrate ‘Vancouver on Fire with Pastor Herman Martir.’ This will be a night of praise and worship at the church, which is on Hastings Street near the Value Village.
