For those who have been wondering just what Linwood House Ministries is all about, here's our latest project that Sue and others have been working hard on. Tomorrow is our Open House from 3 pm to 9 pm. If you're in the area, swing by and say hello...
The Great Room
108 West Hastings
2nd Floor
Vancouver, BCIf you have ever been to Linwood House you will be familiar with the Great Room. It is the place of good coffee, great conversation, relationship, music, rest, reading, reflection, dreaming, and prayer. To anyone who has been to Linwood House, the term “Great Room” evokes all of these memories and many more.
Our dream is to create a Great Room right here in the Downtown Eastside. Imagine a place where women from the community can come to build friendships with other women and experience the love and grace of God through art, music, reading, and prayer. Where women can come in from the chaos of the streets for rest. Perhaps a safe and secure place where a woman could spend time with her children. A place where women from all walks of life can come to share the stories and gifts of their lives, so they can then go and share all that they have received with others in their community.
As individual lives are transformed, communities are transformed.
This is a God-sized dream. We have many needs in order to see this dream come to reality. As we prepare to first transform this space we need paint, materials, furniture, and supplies. We need trades people, laborers, and painters. As always, we need your financial support. When we are ready to open our doors, we need people who will be a friend to the women who will come.
We have been blessed with the support of many friends including The Salvation Army, Cove Community Church and North Shore Alliance Church. Please add your name to our growing list of friends.
As you step out to bless others, you will surely be blessed.
