Upcoming PTL Event
The PTL is hosting a Mom’s Night Out on Friday, November 29th from 7-9 pm to gather together in fellowship and Christmas crafting, making an advent wreath with fresh greenery.
The Advent season is the four weeks prior to Christmas, celebrating the anticipation of Christ’s birth. If your family does not currently celebrate Advent, it is a wonderful tradition to start. Complimentary Advent devotional booklets will be provided for you to use your wreath at home with your family.
Our wreath making will take place at Amsterdam Greenhouse at 19100 Old Dewdney Road in Pitt Meadows. The cost is $30. A $10 deposit is due at the office to secure your spot and the balance is due on the evening.
Spaces are limited. Please sign up at the following link: Advent Wreath Making
Special Showing of Screenagers: Growing Up In The Digital Age
The PTL is hosting a special one-time showing of the documentary Screenagers on Saturday, November 16th from 9:30-11:30 am at the Hollywood 3 Cinemas in Pitt Meadows.
Screenagers is an award-winning film that probes into the vulnerable corners of family life and depicts messy struggles over social media, video games and academics. The film offers solutions on how we can help our kids navigate the digital world.
All Parents and any students 10 years and older are invited to attend. Please indicate your attendance in the following link: Interest in Screenagers Please be sure to submit this form by October 30th so we can adequately plan.
