At Gloria Dei we have wanted to become more informed about Israeli-Palestinian conflict - and to support our Palestinian Christian siblings in the Holy Land.  

We share an opportunity to deepen our knowledge through the film "The Other" being shown at the Vancouver Jewish Film Festival on Sunday, May 4 at 4:30PM.

You can read a review of the film here. 

"You cannot contemplate resurrection without lookin at the tomb, without comtemplating death. There is no other way to etneral life but through death itself, through the tomb. We don't just continue life as we know it. Life doesn't just go on uninterrupted.  we must die first and onlyh then can we hope to live in Christ. 

If you admit that you are going to die, then your life can become a love letter to God. You can think of your life as a gift, the gift of a limited peiroud of time in which you can choose how to serve. God. And yhou can prepare for your death so that it is beautiful and edifies all thosse who love you."
