Christmas celebration with Pure Energy

first, i want to say thanks for everyone who made it out to gloucester to see the nativity story and then went shopping at st. laurent. it was a rather large group to see the movie and i'll admit there were a few tears in my eyes throughout the movie.

to those who haven't seen it yet, it is even better than i expected it to be and made the anticipation of His birth (in that time) so real and vivid. i was not the only person who cried though (guys too, not just girls) =) it was a powerful reminder of the birth of the King, the birth that split the calendar in half, brought Peace and changed the world forever.

this friday we will have a Christmas celebration with Pure Energy, there will be games and a gift exchange, please bring a small gift (anywhere from $5 to $10)... there can be some pretty sweet gifts in that price range. i'll pick up some snacks and refreshments too, so we can just have some time to chill with one another afterwards.

i still need those of you who are interested in becoming leaders for this year's getaway to let me know as soon as possible. for those of you who have already experienced a getaway, it is a winter retreat, where we get together with youth groups from eaco, ocac, ocbc etc. and spend a weekend in fellowship. it is from march 16th-18th. we will have a couple of meetings with the leaders in other youth groups, if you are interested let me know soon or i'll come to you ;).
