YF Coffeehouse this weekend (Fri prep, Sat prep and event)
Hope everyone had a great long weekend! It was cool to be able to see all the talents and prepare last Friday for the coffeehouse, it looks like things are well on their way! I know that we have a freezer full of brownies and berry ice cubes :) Coffeehouse is only 4 days away! 4 DAYSSSS! wow, it`s been really awesome to see how many of you have invited your friends, please pray that they would feel welcomed and that you would be prepared to answer questions they may have and to continue inviting them throughout summer events at people`s homes (and more `friendly` gatherings as a fellowship).This Friday (22nd) we will have our final prep for Coffeehouse at YF. We will be having a full dress rehearsal (so bring your props and completed music mixes and skits), we want to have a complete run through of the program, from MC`s to transitions... so please come as prepared as possible :) For all those attending, we have asked that each YF member contribute $15 on Friday (or Sat) for the coffeehouse, this money will help offset some coffeehouse budget, (or if we don`t need it, all of it will go to supporting our Ouje mission trip, which is way more expensive than it was last year (shakes fist at vehicle rental places). Please continue praying for coffeehouse and the friends you have invited! If you are able to come earlier (say 6-6:30pm), we can meet to pray before everyone arrives for preparation and Saturday as well. Please pray for all those involved in the skit and Jeff who will be sharing his testimony as well, please pray that God would be glorified in his sharing as well. I`ll ask at the end of coffeehouse that if any of your friends are interested, I would be willing to personally take them out to Second cup, timmy`s etc and talk to them about any questions they have, but it would be even more amazing if YOU could set up a time with your friends. They may appreciate it most coming from you, and I (and adult leaders) would be willing to talk to them with you as well.
On Saturday (23rd) we will try to start as early as possible in getting the place decorated and all the stuff that needs to be moved in, please help as soon as you are available, we will need lots of help moving coffeetables and prepare to stay afterwards for clean up. :)
Coming up:
Ouje teams (crafts, games, devos), please remember to arrange to meet with one another, we will have a team meeting to get an idea of our progress in the next couple of weeks. Please remember that exams will be overlapping with a lot of our prep, so the more we can have prepared and purchased in the next 2-3 weeks will go a long way in our prep.
Next Saturday (30th) will be our IMPACT project for the community (10am - 4pm), the other youth groups will be joining us to do various tasks in our neighborhood. We`ve contacted the Somerset community improvement groups and Maxine at St. Lukes. You can also get community hours from me as well. There is also a city-wide Worship and Prayer event that evening - Manson and other university students have been working hard in preparation for it, it will be at 7pm until 10pm at Emmanuel Alliance.
YF Discipleship week is always a great week to learn, serve and spend together in the summer (August 17th - 21st)
VBS needs more help and is a great ministry to children (August 10th - 14th)
YF Fall Retreat is September 11-13th at Rae-Annès parents lake-side house!!! :) KEEP IT OPEN!
