YF "Letting things Die" Discussion this Friday (25th)

It was nice to have the YF room filled to be warm and cozy last Friday (it was cold outside), I was told there were 33 of us packed like sardines in there :). Please continue to think about what we learned from the first 17 verses in Romans and be open to how your life can bring glory to God. Just like Paul, God is at work in your life and has called you for a purpose. Sunday school has also started and we had a great first class discussing theology and will continue to ask challenging questions.

This Friday (Sept 25th), we'll be taking a look at another Nooma video (we haven't done that since last November!). Our discussions from the ones we've watched have all been quite positive so I'm looking forward to this week. It deals with a really relevant mindset (that we ALL have) that haunts everyone of us (to different degrees of course) and takes its toll on our daily lives. We'll deal with false ideas about ourselves and how other people see us, we'll talk about why we are so consumed about ourselves and a lot of issues that we unconsciously accept. Bring your Bibles, feel free to continue inviting your friends and join the discussion.

As most of you already know, this is CCCO's 20th anniversary year and there is a celebration over thanksgiving weekend. On Saturday's event (October 10th), YF has been asked to help serve dinner and help clean up as well. Please keep this in mind, it's still about 3 weeks away. :)

Also keep in mind, that we currently plan to take part in One Homeless Night on October 23rd - 24th. It's an overnight event and designed for us to experience and develop a deeper awareness for homelessness. It will also help shape your character as we encounter the people and develop our own response to the issue for the rest of our lives. Some of you have already committed to the event, so you can start asking around for pledges (a total of $50 for each participant). Let me know ASAP if you plan to participate, so we can get more adult leaders on board.

Let us know how you are doing.
See you this Friday!
