SKI WEEKEND INVITATION: An invitation has been extended from Peace Lutheran in Vernon for a Ski Weekend for February 20-22, 2009. They are incredibly excited about once again opening their doors to you for this weekend. In addition to downhill skiing, there are two members of the congregation offering to give cross country ski lessons to those who would rather cross-country ski. Both people are certified ski instructors and are willing to teach anyone interested in learning. They will have enough room for the first 100 people who respond. If you have any questions please contact Pastor Rick Schulz at plpastor@shaw.ca or by phone at 250-545-5787.
