The British Columbia Conference invites Christians from across North America to take part in a service project for the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

People from around the world will come to British Columbia to enjoy the Olympic Games. They will be trying to keep warm in Vancouver's cold climate, so the British Columbia Conference would like to offer an act of kindness in the form of a free scarf.

Between now and January 31, 2010, the British Columbia Conference's goal is to collect 10,000 scarves made by the hands of Seventh-day Adventists and other Christians in North America.

To reach this goal, the British Columbia Conference has partnered with More than Gold, an international Christian network designed to help churches in cities around the world serve their community and visitors during the Olympics. Each scarf will include the More than Gold snowflake that tells the story of salvation with its five colors, along with a message from the Adventist Church.

Anyone who can knit can be part of this outreach. Knitting scarves is also a great way for Pathfinders to get involved in a service project while also earning their knitting honor. These scarves can be a silent witness to the warmth of Jesus' love.

For more information contact Brian Wahl, British Columbia Conference youth director, at bwahl@bcadventist.ca or 604-853-5451 ext. 412.
