fall youth retreat ahead!

just around the corner! thanks for getting all your retreat forms in, there are currently 22 people registered (or confirmed to come). let's meet at the church at 6pm on friday night (sept 15th) and leave from there [detailed directions to ottawa valley pentecostal camp]. we plan to arrive at the camp around 8pm and will be provided a snack (i'm guessing sandwiches, but who knows?), you might want to grab a little bite before meeting at church (just in case).

things to bring: Bible, your form and/or cheque (if you haven't yet, or forgot one of the two), sleeping bags, some warm clothes in the evening, swim trunks/suit (optional of course), toiletries, basketballs, footballs, baseball gloves and balls etc. things NOT to bring: ipods, media plays (videos, music, movies etc.) if you need entertainment for the ride then talk to people ;) last minute registration forms here.

this weekend will focus on community building and fellowship, there are alot of new faces in YF and plenty of friendships to look forward to, it will be a time to rest, reflect and renew on Him and build friendships and fellowship with each other.

we still need volunteers to drive us there, so far we have Pastor Cal and uncle Oscar, that leaves about 13-14 people without rides, please ask your parents or something ;)

amazing race was awesome, the top team finished in 7 hours and 23 minutes and the last finished in 8 hrs 21 mins, with two teams in between. that was close ;)... big ups to jon lam, shelly, rach, michelle and jeremy for being cluegivers! e-mail me the funny pictures with strangers and teammates, i will post them.
