Meet me in Canada (Surrey, B.C.) on April 19, 2006

I am blessed to have been invited to record an interview with the Marriage Uncensored television program produced by Family Life of Canada. They are seeking people to fill a live studio audience in Surrey, B.C. (not too far from the border for those of you in Washington State) on April 19 from 6:30-8:30ish.

A Hannah's Prayer member who works at Family Life will be organizing a casual reception on the same day, probably around 1:00-3:00pm at a nearby location. Because I will have our newborn son with me, we aren't able to make this a child-free event, but I pray that many will still consider coming as I would love to meet you! If you interested in attending either the television recording or the reception, please e-mail Christie at christie@familylifecanada.com and she will keep you posted on the details.

If you live anywhere in B.C. or the U.S. Pacific Northwest, please be sure to read the following blog entry as well!

Speaking in Washington state in April, 2006

I will be speaking at a women's luncheon at First Baptist Church in Everett, Washington on Saturday, April 22. This event will be open to women in the community, Hannah's Prayer members and Hannah's Hope readers. The church website will have registration information available at a future date.

The topics will not be restricted to infertility, but I will be speaking on issues such as seeking God in waiting seasons and coping with prayers that seem to go unanswered. So that you are not unprepared, if all goes as planned, I will be bringing our 2-month-old son with me to this event (too far to travel without him) but my sister-in-law will be available to help care for him during while I'm speaking.

I will probably be in Washington state for about a week total (less the couple of days mid-visit to go up to Canada as you see in the above blog entry) and will be staying with my brother's family in Auburn. If anyone is interested in getting together while I'm there, please let me know. I'm not sure what I will have as far as transportation goes, but I would love to meet you if you are in the area. The best options for my schedule would to be meeting you either in Canada on the 19th or at the Everett lunch on the 22nd, but if you can't make either of these dates, please get in touch with me and see if we can figure out other options.
