(read it all, VERY important: ouje form needs to be filled)
It was great having guys/girls night this week, I overheard lots of people saying that we should try and do that more often (I wholeheartedly concur)! I think the summer might open up more occasions like that, maybe with different hosts houses too! us guys had an incredible time of sharing and gulfing down 5 large pizzas and 3 medium pizzas. it was a really awesome time of sharing and now that we all know each other on a deeper level, to keep praying for each other and asking for updates ;)
NO OTHER NAME is this Friday! I think the vast majority of you have registered already. We will be meeting at the Met (2176 Prince of Wales Drive, Ottawa, ON) googled it, click the link for the map. Bring your registration fee ($25 if you registered before April 1st, $30 if you registered after Apr 1). Please arrange car pools / your rides to arrive there at 12:15pm and to be picked up at 10:30pm. Good Friday is still the only calendar holiday that has not been commercialized and is not celebrated in any other way but to recognize Christ and His sacrifice for us. This event is orchestrated by our Ottawa youth pastors network Exousia, which is headed up by Paul Racine. It's going to be an awesome event, if you still haven't registered - it takes seconds and you don't even need to put in credit card info, payment is at the door http://noothername.net/registration.html
CCCO Coffeehouse is coming up extremely soon !May 22! To reduce panicing, please get a head start on the aspects which your team is covering! The student council portion of the Leadership Retreat was set up for this very event. Some Saturdays might have to be set apart for planning (maybe different groups can meet up on the Saturdays). Please also keep in mind friends that you want to invite!
Ouje-Bougoumou is also coming up quick! This trip requires a lot of planning and logistics (rental vehicles, adults ratio, crafts, games, messages, devotions, missions committee, worship, booklets, equipment to bring, lots of explaining the purpose and getting people on board). It was really tough to plan last year and we do require dedication from those who are thinking of going (it's not meant to be a 'retreat', vacation or a resume experience. I've sent the Ouje Form in the last few weeks and have not received any responses yet, the form consists of three questions to answer and NEEDS to be submitted by April 24th (the sooner by-email, the better), the core group and I will have a final list of names by beginning of May. We will be focusing on God's incredible love for us for that whole week, amazingly - it's not a message thats said enough to these youth, so please brainstorm as you prepare devotionals for the trip.
We've loved the chats and getting together with some of you during the week too, if you're up for it, let us know!
See you at No Other Name all day Friday!
