When aerosol artist Chor Boogie, who was part of the original Paint Your Faith event in Toronto, showed up at the recent Vancouver PYF event, no one expected him to paint. He had come to Vancouver to share his art at the Paint Your Faith show at Ayden Gallery and connect with PYF Vancouver artists Indigo, Titi Freak, Faith 47, and Peeta along the way while they worked on the new PYF mural.

While at the mural site, Chor also connected with Sandra Severs of First United Church Mission, which was co-sponsoring PYF Vancouver along with WonderCafe.ca. Chor asked if he could paint a section of First United's roof and Sandra said "Go for it!" And soon Chor, along with the Paint Your Faith documentary team, were climbing several levels of ladders to reach the steeple of First United Church, high above the Downtown Eastside.

 On the Front Page of The Ottawa Citizen Today appeared this story. The Rev. Brian Cornelius, the minister at First United  presided over the service.

It was Pride day in Ottawa, and as has been the case for several years now, First United Walked in the Parade.

I was dressed up as a Teddy Bear. I was going to bring a sign that said, "Meet Me on Wondercafe.ca, Marry Me at First United"  

However I chickened out at the last second. It turned out to be a good thing too. If I had been holding a sign I would not have been able to hug so many people.
