YF Bible Study

even though we were unable to meet on the beach last friday it was nice to see many of you gather at church on friday. i hope those of you that went camping had a valuable time of fellowship and at the picnic.

i am writing to you from new brunswick (excited for Prince Edward Island tomorrow), shelly and i are just spending a couple of days here but won't miss a moment, we are still thinking of YF and look forward to seeing you on friday already. we will be studying Scripture this Friday, so please bring your Bibles. we will learn some more history and background information on Hebrews and read through it together. we are overjoyed that many of you are asking to meet with us and love spending time together with you. please continue to let us know how you are doing and how we can pray and help you guys out! see you this friday!

YF no longer at Beach tonight

it was raining all morning, and i was *hoping* that the rain would calm down but even now there is still some scattered showers.. so i waited until now to cancel our booking. ocac also canceled their volleyball tonight as well. but we hope to gather here at church at the regular 7:30pm instead of mooney's bay for an informal fellowship night where groups can sing and worship, play games or have a devotional time together, whatever you want we can have different groups doing different things. jeremy is already here at church, so feel free to drop by early if you would like! see you tonight!

YF Bible study this Friday

thanks for the many of
you who came over to our place for the YF gathering on friday, we even missed a handful of people who were in the other section of the room during this picture ;) it was fun to see everyone interacting with so much energy and enthusiasm, in fact there was so much enthusiasm that a special guest came to speak with me after the event. hehe.

this friday, jeremy has volunteered to pray and open our night with a time of worship and then we will be looking into Scripture, so please bring your Bibles, open ears and heart.

please keep in mind all the summer activities like our church picnic and baptisms (with one of our sisters ;) on july 21st, discipleship week which is each morning and lasts from august 20th-24th and our summer coffeehouse on august 24th.

if you still want to meet up with shelly or i sometime to chat, just let us know and we would be glad to catch up with you! see you guys this friday!!
