Elsie's Note

Partners in Hope - who are we?  We are hopeful people coming out of difficult backgrounds who are finding our way to new life with God.  We were accompanied and helped in our journey so now we want to do the same for others.  Through prison outreach, the food co-op, affordable housing listings, 12-step meetings, supportive residences we seek to offer practical support.  Look around and see what we do.  Borrow any ideas and programs you see here for your community.  Contact us if you need help doing in your area something you see us doing here.

  • MEDITATION - THURSDAY, JULY 29, 2010 -- SHARING SECRETS
    Sometimes we don't want to know God's will and don't experience the "good life" because we are holding secrets.  Things happen that we don’t want anyone to know.  There are areas in our life that we aren't ready to deal with yet.  We are afraid of scorn or misunderstanding.  Sometimes, we ...

Newsflash

A great group of folks from a variety of backgrounds meet to sing and worship God together at the Rio Theater at Broadway and Commercial every Sunday morning at 10:30am.  Lots of folks coming out of addictions serve and worship at Immanuel.  It's laid back and there's free coffee and tea available as soon as you come through the door.  For more information click here

Partners In Hope
"Offering hope, support and healing, helping people out of harmful circumstances, and walking them through the process of building productive lives."

JUNE 2010

Spring has more than sprung!  Summer is on the way.   The lawn in our backyard is greener and fuller.  Chairs and tables are set out for friends as we come together for meals and sharing.  We live in a beautiful city and this is a wonderful time of year to live here.  At the same time, life is hard for many people. Services are limited like affordable housing, dental care, affordable nutritious food.  Friends who'd like to work can't find employment.  Many folks need support, information, and just a friendly presence during tough times.

At Partners in Hope we try to be friends who stick together when the journey is tough.  We've tried to fill this website with information that provides for practical needs of those feeling vulnerable and offer ways for all of us to learn and share together.  If you or someone you love is in need, click on any of the coloured links below to check out our resources or contact our office for further information.    Find out how to be a part of this work here or bring similar efforts to your community by clicking on Ways to Help. 

 
We've loaded this website with lots of  helpful information for you as you take steps towards making important changes in your life. Browse around the site and anywhere you see a  coloured link that interests you, click on it and you're likely to find some helpful information or an encouraging story. Read the most up to date news on the blog (see PiH Community News blog on the lower right of this page).   Elsie Quick explains more about Partners in Hope in the following video:

This Weeks Worksheet - Thursday Meeting



The ultimate deception we face is the one that says we are not dealing with deception today.  God is leading us forever forward into truth about ourselves, our addictions, our relationships, and His good plans for our lives.  However, as long as we are on a journey, there is obviously still some fog of deception that the Holy Spirit needs to clear from our hearts and minds. 
 
We discuss how to identify temptation and deception and learn ways to live free on Thursday evening, June 10, 2010 10 at 7:30 at Mission Possible, 543 Powell Street, Vancouver, BC
