Rob's Retirement Party a Great Success
I chose to stop driving a school bus this year in order to make more time for our daughters. I wanted to thank the kids and build a bridge with them and their families for future events by hosting a retirement party. It was so much fun! We had a fingerblaster party in our meeting space at Genesis Place. There were about 40 people there. Adults and kids alike took part and had a blast - a finger blast :).
Emily and Eric are moving to BC in mid May. Last June I (Rob) told Emily that if she came to the Kids Camp on her birthday that she could squish a piece of cake in my face. She came and she did! To celebrate her moving I brought a cake and she squished another piece in my face! I bet she won't forget Genesis Church.

Fun Times at Youth
What do you get when you mix 2 youth groups, a winter storm and a birthday celebration (Becca 13)? Lots of laughter and fun! Last Thursday a bunch of us got together to clean up a yard then back to our house for a BBQ, a birthday celebration for Becca (13) and a presentation about Compassion Canada by our friend Lauren.
Genesis youth have been joining up with the Center Street Airdrie Regional Campus (ARC) youth for the last month. Two of the 3 kids in the Genesis youth group (my daughters!) were bored with their youth group and they thought their youth leader was kind of lame (me - Rob!) so their dad (Me!) decided it was time for a change. So Genesis Youth is now part of ARC youth on Thursday evenings, led by Grover Bradford. Grover is an awesome leader and a great friend. I would encourage anyone with youth to check out this youth group.

Fun family time
The Lion of Judah was a hit with the kids and the adults as part of our first Easter Family Celebration this afternoon. We showed the newly released animated movie on the big screen in the Rotary Room at Genesis Place.
Savannah and Rebeccah served fresh popcorn made on Smitty's fancy popcorn machine.
The kids listened intently while pastor Rob shared the Easter story with them using resurrection eggs.
They enjoyed popcorn, juice and got a treat bag to bring home.

Easter Services
Since Genesis Place is closed on Easter Sunday we wont be having an Easter Worship Service. We decided to have an Easter Family Celebration instead on Saturday April 7th in the Rotary Room at Genesis Place from 2:30 to 5:00pm. We will be showing an animated movie entitled "The Lion of Judah" and having a Resurrection Eggs presentation to tell the kids the Easter Story. Parents are encouraged to bring blankets for their kids to lie on. We'll have popcorn to snack on as well. Hope ya'll can make it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlyHNHxv54o

Visit to Crystal Springs, Mississippi
Pastor Rob was invited to attend an On Missions Celebration (OMC) in mid-February in Crystal Springs Mississippi.The North American Mission Board (NAMB) of the Southern Baptist Convention provided an opportunity for me to go share the story of Genesis Church with the folks down there in order to encourage them to get more involved in missions work.
I got to tell our story in 5 different churches in and around Crystal Springs. It was awesome! The people were so nice. Who knows what God has in mind as a result of this trip.
Pastor Rob and Family Move into New Home
Trees, squirrels and a wood fireplace. Who could ask for anything more! We moved into our new home at the end of February. Its on the east side of Airdrie. The east side seems better than the west side for some reason :).
Were getting settled, putting up pictures, emptying boxes and planning renos already. Can't wait to have yall over here!!
