YF Bigger or Better this Friday (7:00pm Nov 6th)
Thanks for the open discussion on Friday regarding hope in suffering, we were able to revisit Job and the prodigal son and talk about hope for tomorrow. I was fortunate to have spoken at the Pure Energy retreat as well and some of them were making commitments to repent and know Christ so be an example/encourage your younger siblings if they are in Pure Energy. We continue to look into matters of theology for Sunday school, our last two classes have been very interactive to answer some of the questions posed at the beginning of our semester, you guys have voiced your appreciation for that and we will be addressing questions on rotating weeks, so if you don't already, join us for Sunday school!
This Friday (6th) we plan to play "BIGGER or better!" with some h2o brothers and sisters. Be at Church (or more accurately - 118) at 7:00pm (so 30 minutes earlier than usual)RULES (subject to change should a brilliant idea come up):
EACH GROUP will be designated an area (with accompanying adults) to visit homes and trade a paperclip up to the biggest or best item to win! Bring camera's because it'll be fun to see what each group ends up with. some basic rules so we don't have to explain each one on friday:
1. Time limit: each group has to be back at the youth room by 8:50-9:00pm at the latest
2. Make at least 5 trades ie) paperclip for a ruler, ruler for a picture frame, picture frame for a stuffed animal, stuffed animal for a chair, chair for a bigger chair, big chair for a sofa, sofa for a... "uh oh, how are we going to get this sofa back?"
3. No relatives houses
4. Have to bring the item back to church (if it is something that cannot be thrown out easily, then you must figure out if one person in your group can take it home)
maybe you can get more cushions for the youth room! :)
Bring your friends (more hands the better!) and warm clothes for the outside! If you haven't filled out the year waiver form (in your e-mail), please bring that back too (one-time thing for the year)
Please keep your Saturday, Dec 12th (next month) open as we plan to cooperate with children and Pure Energy for a presentation at St. Vincent Hospital in our own community as a blessing to the seniors, we'll also get together for a huge secret santa exchange as well.
Engage your world information is in your e-mails.
A Hillsong United documentary is playing in theaters across Ottawa tomorrow. A couple of you have expressed interest, I think the Yip family is going in the East and Laura mentioned it too so you guys can totally get together mid-week for Hillsong: We're all in this Together.
If you are praying/thinking of baptism this Christmas, please fill and return the form in your e-mail ASAP, we need to arrange the group for baptism classes right away.
Let us know how you are doing, if you want to meet or have prayer requests
See you Friday at 7pm!
