YF Fall Retreat 09 this Weekend! (details)

Hope everyone enjoyed Where's Waldo last week, I heard some of the Waldo's evaded a couple of the teams. Congrats to Helen's team who managed to squeak out a close victory over Jessica's team :) I still want a copy of some of the videos, they looked great!

This weekend (11th - 13th) is already the Fall Retreat! We have a special treat this year because Rae-Anne's parents have opened their beautiful lake-side house for our use this year! It even has a hottub, bring bathing suits (one piece or t-shirts for girls). We will be meeting at the VIA Rail station at 200 Tremblay Rd at 5:15pm on Friday, September 11th and you can be picked up at the same station on Sunday, September 13th at 5:00pm. Please do not be late to the station because the train departure time is not flexible. Please arrange for a way to the station by pooling with each other. If you still want to come to retreat there are 2 openings, let me know before tomorrow at 5:30pm.

Our retreat theme this year is "Deeper in Love with Jesus" We will take a look into the red letters of Scripture and explore some pretty tough commands that Jesus has made, but also look into His model of servanthood and the attitude that He desires us to have. Please pray for the retreat and prepare your heart for the devotions, worship, sharing, sessions and challenges ahead.

Essential things to bring: Bible, pens, papers, special health devices, last minute form and/or cheque (if you haven't yet, or forgot one of the two), sleeping bags, warm clothes, outdoor clothes (and change of clothes depending on weather), towels, toiletries, bathing suit, instrument (if you are helping with worship), worship music
Additional things: board games, group games, basketballs, footballs, baseball gloves and balls etc.
Things NOT to bring: ipods, media players (videos, music, movies etc.)

Looking forward to an awesome weekend together!
See you on Friday
