YF Christmas party this Friday (18th) with AWANA, Pure Energy and h2o

There is a lot to be joyful about this week (beyond getting time off school soon). This week we'll be witnessing some brothers and sisters getting baptized and publicly declaring their faith in Christ (AWESOME!). Winston, Jocelyn, Luke, Eugenia and Sam Lee will be identifying themselves as new creations in Christ this Sunday, so come out to encourage them, write them, give them high fives, hugs and welcome them into Christ's family as well as our church family.

This Friday (18th) will be our Christmas gathering with AWANA, Pure Energy and H2o. The main purpose of the event is to realize that although we make up different age groups, we're all one family in the body of Christ, the younger siblings are ours to care for, the older brothers and sisters look out for us and we are to be one in Spirit, united in Christ. That's what it's all about - we'll be having some team games where we will have to work together, we'll have lots of snacks to eat, sing together and share gifts with each other. Remember to bring ONE $10 gift for your age and gender, so if you are a dude - get something for a guy, ditto for the girls :)

The next Friday is Christmas day (25th) so everyone spend time with your family, don't go to a friends house or something like that (unless your whole family is going). Treasure the time with your family and reflect on Christ! The following week (1st-2nd of January 2010) will be YF Leadership retreat at our house, bring your Bibles and notebooks, sleeping bags, pens etc. For the Friday night, bring your board games, cards, wiimotes etc.
