YF this week and Amazing Race results
thanks for the over 30 who made for an amazing race last saturday!! congratulations to edmond's team with alex, natasha, yuka, ningke, jenny and phil who came first by just a few minutes over winston's team. i'll post the pictures from the teams i have here on the website, two of the teams haven't submitted the photos or videos yet. someone should make a ccco yf youtube account so we can put these encouragement and ice cream videos up ;)
now that the fall has started, we have started our YF sunday school classes again. it was overwhelming on sunday to see so many of you come on early sunday morning to join us.
this friday, we will be continuing our study on hebrews, please bring your Bibles (if you don't have one, let me know and we will see how we can fix that permanently ;) i encourage you to read the first four chapters of hebrews just so you can remember the themes and where we left off last time.
baptismal class will be this friday at 6pm (before yf), a couple of you who are looking to be baptized are attending, but it's open to anyone who is interested, please message or call me.
shelly and/or i would still love to meet up with you! many of you have taken us up on the offer and we want to meet with as many of you as possible! so let us know so we can know how to best pray for you and encourage you as to how you can serve as well!
remember to plan ahead as our fall retreat is scheduled for october 19-21st, the forms will come out as soon as a couple of us in the C&Y can check out the site, but i've heard some good things about it. our theme will be "living in community"
blessings and looking forward to seeing you all this friday!
