movie night and snacks this friday
hey guys, after the discipleship week, retreat and Bible study recently, i figured that it would be nice for all of us to gather for a movie night and snacks at shelly and rachael's apartment! most of you have been there before (from the amazing race, so it's easy to bus to) but just in case here are the directions [
detailed map] to 30 mcewen ave. when you get there just press 2105 on the dialpad below and you will be welcomed in. feel free to bring some snacks too (in pot-luck style), there will be a little bit of popcorn, but the more snacks the better!! also please bring some dvd's so we can choose out of a bunch of them! please come around 7pm so we can have time to choose what we want to see.
i'll see you guys on friday! also here are the details for
what happened at the amazing race including stages and who finished first etc. the schedule until the end of october is posted on the side bar and available for
download here. also, james gave me some pictures of the retreat and i uploaded them, check the side panel for more.
youth retreat weekend
from the bottom of my heart, i want to thank every single one of you for a weekend that went far beyond what i could have asked for or imagined. many thanks for the adult workers, the drivers and the worship teams. the sharing times were foundational to how everything went, i truly feel encouraged and now have a much clearer idea of how to pray for each one of you, and now you guys can all pray for one another too. you all were very transparent with one another and that is essential to build community and true fellowship, sharing burdens and building one another up! thank you for continued sharing during the sessions, small groups, sunday morning worship and a beautiful campfire. please reflect on this past weekend, and continue to encourage one another and keep each other accountable. i will see you guys
this friday (22nd) 7:30pm at church for Bible study and some more discussion and sharing. blessings and the peace of the Lord be with you, i'll be praying for you guys!

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.
the amazing race!
its almost here - the YF kickoff, hard at work trying to put the finishing touches on the third installment of amazing race! a lot of you have been emailing about your excitement for the race ;) tomorrow morning 10:00am is when you NEED to be here, if you arrive late you might not be able to join a team because everyone will be constantly moving (i promise you that) remember to bring the following:
1)
friends (the more teams and people, the better) 2)
bus pass (
or money to get a
day pass) (
oc transpo website on daypasses) 3)
cell phone (at least one per team) 4)
digital camera (at least one per team) 5) each team member can have $2 for the race (if necessary).
also remember, we still really need
yf retreat forms (and cheques for those who need to bring those), i only have 12 so far, invite friends if you'd like too! see you at the race and be on time! 10:00am tomorrow (saturday, 9th) morning! it'll be a lot of fun! maybe harder and closer ;) then we will have dinner at church together around 6pm.
blessings on you all.
