YF One Homeless Night this Friday (23/24th)
We missed you while we were away! Don't worry, you are in our thoughts and prayers every day :) I trust (and know!) that you had a good time of fellowship together going through Romans 4 last Friday and through Sunday School.
This Friday and Sat morning is One Homeless Night (23/24)! I've been in contact with Ottawa Innercity Ministries about the One Homeless Night and it looks like we'll have just enough adults going. So please ensure that your form and pledges are complete for the nights ahead. Please keep in mind the purposes of the event: 1) It's not a social gathering: it's to introduce each of us to issues surrounding homelessness by giving us a real life (personal) experience of what it might be like to be a homeless person (EVEN for just one night). We will learn about homelessness from staff and then spend a portion of the evening on a self-guided tour of the downtown core in groups of three, carrying all of their overnight possessions with them. 2) It's also a fundraiser for the ministry of Ottawa Innercity Ministries.It starts at 7:00pm at Salvation Army Church located at 391 Gladstone Avenue. Please go DIRECTLY to Salvation Army Church at 7pm on Friday and the event will end at 7am on Saturday morning. YOU will NEED: WAIVER and sponsorship form as well as $50 (all attached in your e-mail).
BRING: Forms, donation, overnight clothes, sleeping bag, maximum of $1.50 to carry for the night.
NOT TO BRING: OIM specifically asked NOT to bring iPods or iPod equivalents AND even cell phones (Adults (over 18) are asked to bring cell phones).
If you are interested, there is a missions conference night for our church this Saturday evening (24th) from 6:30-8:30pm. There is an international dinner at 5pm as well, please let auntie Blossom know if you plan to attend
If you are praying/thinking of baptism, please fill out the form in your e-mail and let me know as soon as possible, there is a group thinking of baptism and we need to arrange for baptism classes soon.
Let us know how we can pray for you and if you want to meet up for coffee/bbtea etc.
See you Friday!
