PASTOR PETER Norris aud son
Pastor David Norris showed off
their new and_ better-than-ever
North Shore Christian Centre dur-
ing a three-day grand opening of
the facility this month.

On Oct. 14, 15 and 16 the
pastors and congregants ceiebrated
the opening of the Christian Cen-
tre’s new sanctuary, located at
3400 Sutherland in North Van-
couver, with a variety of events,
including nostalgia night, a pan-
cake breakfast, a gospel concert
and an open house.

Pastor David Norris said a rapid
growth in the centre’s membership
created a demand for a new
building to house its approximately
250 members.

He said members totally reno-
vated the original building —
which is now used specifically for
Christian education — added on a
new building (the sanctuary) this
summer, and planted trees, shrubs
and vines on surrounding grounds.

“A Christian architect designed
the new building and members did
the majority of the construction.
We did the grounds ourselves —
we all helped,’’ said David Norris.

One of the main features of the
new sanctuary is six large leaded-
glass windows dating back to 1790
which were crafted in England. A
new loft seats 120 people and un-
derground parking accommodates
28 cars.

Congregants are predominately

young and participate in a number
of the centre’s activities including
choir, and a senior’s outreach Pro-
gram — a group of members sing
for. the seniors and take them
shopping.
: The centre also holds the tradi-
tional Sunday morning and even-
ing services and Sunday school, as
well as Bible studies once a week.
