EV2008- 8 Aug 08
Edmonton

At 8:00 a.m., we arrived at Aramark Nutrition Centre. The local team has prepared us for our breakfast buffet. They are so generous!

 

We mingled with the locals and breakfast was great.


 

Then, we headed to Chinatown Seniors Care Centre at around 9 and had a visitation to the Chinese elderly there.

The elderly had great fun singing songs with us.


After the visitation, we had some video-shooting for the MTV at City Hall.

 

 

This time, we invited Fr. Yan to take photo with us. We're making the 'cross' sign representing that we are Friends of Jesus' Passover.

The local community brought us to a Chinese restaurant where we had our lunch.

We interviewed a local called Clara on her experience of 'Moments of Light'.

 

We sang song in front of the Edmonton landmark, Legislative Council.


Back to church, we started to prepare for the Prayer Gathering in the evening.


The Prayer Gathering kicked off right at 7:30 p.m.

After some song practice at the beginning, the dancers of FOJP performed the worship dance using the song, 'Our Father'. The three lead singers, Teresa, Karin and Candy sang 'Without you, we can't' to the audience. Both the singers and the audience were touched by God's love and the song.

Irenaeus gave us a bible reading.

 

Then, Fr. Yan encouraged the local to give more opportunities to the younger generation and asked every one of us to make use of God given talents and gifts.

 

In the communion prayer, Clarissa's mum prayed for all members of FOJP and the success of the EV concert in Edmonton.

 

After Fr. Yan's speech, we greeted each other. Some of them even gave each other a warm hug.

At last, the local community joined the FOJP members singing some action songs with us.
