Dear Friends and Colleagues of Gair Williamson,
As Gair’s church, we are honoured to host a memorial for anyone who knew Gair to attend on Saturday, October 14 from 1:00-2:00pm at the Coastal Church Downtown Campus, 1160 W. Georgia Street, Vancouver.
There is parking underground next door at the Shangri la, or at 1128-1166 Alberni Impark lot, which can be accessed from the alley (Elihu Lane) behind the south side of Alberni Street between Thurlow and Bute.
The church can be access from either W. Georgia Street, or Alberni Street entrances. The Coastal Church office phone number is (604) 684-8475 if there are any questions.
“Gair was a consistent advocate of ideas regarding heritage and adaptive re-use of existing buildings in the architectural discourse in Vancouver. This interest was inherited from his work, early in his career, with the Architect Barton Myers. His heritage work did not get completely unnoticed as several of his projects were awarded Vancouver and BC Heritage Awards.” reads a statement from Gair Williamson Architects.
Gair was instrumental in the addition of a cross to the Coastal Church heritage building on 1160 West Georgia Street. He cared deeply about the project, which was a reflection of his faith and his commitment to the community he belonged to at Coastal Church.
Coastal Church has partnered with Livets Ord (Word of Life) Church in Uppsala, Sweden with financial aid to Ukraine. We have sent over $200,000 in response to your generous giving. The update is:
HOW YOU CAN BE A PART OF THIS
1. Pray that the light of Jesus will pierce through the darkness of this horrible tragedy.
2. Support the refugee centers
3. An Exit Fund
At the moment it is challenging to get people out of the country. In any case, we want to be prepared for this and for when people are able to leave as refugees from Ukraine.
When this happens, we want to take them to Poland, where they can be directly connected to our local churches. There, they will be welcomed and loved.
Estimated costs are still unclear.
Any funds given for this purpose will be held in the Fund and used directly for this purpose when the borders open up.
THANK YOU! When you give, you’re helping these people to survive in one of the most hostile environments in the world right now. Thank you so much for your desire to help!
