YF Guys/Girls night this week (Discipleship week and Fall Retreat)

Thanks for sharing in our joy last week with the news and all! :) Also remember to always thank uncle Alex and auntie Angie for being sweet uncle/aunties for treating us to tons of food and a place to hang out!

This week will be guys/girls night!
The girls will be meeting at Neva's for what I understand is a girly night of facials and stuffs and may be a sleepover as well. Updates, times and details will be sent to the girls by Neva.

As for the guys, the original plan was go-karting but it turned out to be outrageously expensive (even at group rates) for very short time periods. So we decided that we would meet at the church at 6:30pm on Friday (August 14th) (please eat a small dinner in advance), Jeff is going to bring his deep fryer and we'll be having some 'deep fried snacks and veggies', snacks as well as watching a movie on the big screen.

NEXT WEEK FROM Monday to Friday (Aug 17-21) (9:30am to 12 noon each day) will be Discipleship Week: Reading and Living out the Bible.
Bring your Bible, pens (PREFERABLY buy a four color pen, you'll see.. they are awesome) and get the attached letter signed by your parents for our service projects. Please make a commitment to be regular and to do all the brief homework that's assigned.

FALL RETREAT is coming up quick on September 11th - 13th. Attached you will find the form that HAS TO BE FILLED OUT AND RETURNED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE as we need forms back in two Sundays (23rd). Rae-anne suggested a really cool idea and we will take the train to Montreal so we don't have to have a lot of volunteer drivers... plus the train is just fun :) But to get the group rate, registrations are strict. If you are out of town (ie. Wardrer and Wilson) until past that date, just confirm your intention and we will book the tickets for you. Rae-Anne's parent's lake-side house is going to be a lot of fun too, motor boats, swimming, all the good stuffs :)

YF KICKOFF (spiritual and event) are coming up quick too, please be mindful to invite friends to WHERE'S WALDO on Saturday morning (September 5th).

Let us know how we can pray for you or if you are able to meet up :)
See you this Friday! (for the girls, whenever you are meeting!)
