YF Grad sendoff this Friday (Where's Waldo and Fall Retreat forms!)

I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed Discipleship Week (as a teacher, don't know if you enjoyed it as students haha), but it's always an awesome week to spend with you guys and see you everyday! Even with so many people out of town, we still had a lot of you committed to show up everyday and bus etc. Please keep in mind/heart everything you learned and witnessed throughout the week. This week's service days were also really special experiences! With people staying behind and stuff, we probably spent a good 25-30 hours together last week! The mission and OIM send their thanks and it was really nice of them to accomodate us and share about their ministry as well. Don't let that week just fade in your memories, but apply what you are learning and stay in God's Word - in fact read it now :)

This Friday (28th) will be the YF Grad sendoff at Jocelyn and Hillary's house. In Jocelyn's e-mail, she's opened up her home from 5:30pm until 9:30pm. It's going to be POTLUCK, so it means everyone will bring a little something to contribute (please RSVP in that previous thread so everyone doesn't bring the same thing). Her Dad shared that he doesn't mind grilling if you are bringing meat. Directions are in your e-mail. The grads will also take some time (5 minutes each) to share with us what is on their hearts and we will pray for them at the end as well! If you have any meaningful encouragements for them, tell them that night :)

Also, the Where's Waldo YF Kickoff is coming up on Saturday, September 5th from 9:45am - 1:30/2pm. It'll be really fun and invite AS many friends as you can, just let me know so I can buy enough Pizza and stuff. Also YF Fall Retreat forms are past due, but GET them in (or let me know before Wednesday ASAP)! ;)

See you this Friday at the Ma residence! :)
