We are rich only through what we give: and poor
only through what we refuse and keep.

LIBRARY
The Blue Bottle Club
by Penelope J. Stokes
Four friends gathered in a cold, dusty attic on
Christmas day to make a solemn pact. "Our dreams
for the future," they whispered, placing tiny pieces of
paper into a shimmering blue bottle.
That event happened in 1929, and it is decades later
when local news reporter Brenna Delaney stumbles
upon that bottle . . . and into the most meaningful
story of her career. Life has taken those four girls'
dreams of love, fame, and faith on a path fraught with
seduction, betrayal, and loss. Little has turned out as
expected--and yet every choice, every tear has led
each of them to a special place.
Brenna's search will uncover the secrets of that Blue
Bottle Club . . . and her own life will never be the
same.
"A beautiful novel about friendship and the power of
faith to renew our dreams." Reviewed by Angela
Hunt, author of "Magdalene"
DVD’s of the Worship Services are available in the

Bringing worship to the people
Presbyterians
Sharing
supports
Hanmaum
Presbyterian Church in Langley, BC which serves a
growing Korean community. Through worship,
Bible studies, family ministry and outreach,
Hanmaum is fulfilling its mission to glorify God and
to let people know Jesus. The congregation’s
seniors’ ministry reaches out to local Korean seniors
who are unable to attend church. Every Wednesday,
members bring worship to residents living at
Amenida care home in Surrey. The ministry serves
the spiritual and emotional needs of the residents as
they connect with the church, share in the good news
of the gospel and enjoy worship and special musical
performances. The Rev. Philip Kim shares, “Our
mission is service, a call to help people in need and to
permeate all life with the compassion of God.”
