YF Gym Night this Friday (12th)

Thanks for an active and well participated Bible study in Romans chapter 13. There was a lot of discussion in each group and it was good to see all the wheels were turning as we discussed our civil duties as Christians. We are called, as believers to submit to authority until that submission directly violates following Christ. Paul's overarching principle is that we are to clothe ourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ. In Sunday school we were able to learn more about the kingdom of God. It's a term we hear about often, but have not necessarily explored much. We learned about how Christ said the kingdom was already in our midst, but it is also coming and approached through spiritual understanding and doing the will of God.

This Friday, we are having a church-wide gym night at St. Patrick High School (2525 Alta Vista Dr, K1V7T3) from 7pm - 10pm. This is a great opportunity to invite friends and have active games within our church community. Pure Energy, YF, h2o and adults from the congregation will all be there!!! We still need equipment, so if you have badminton rackets/birdies, basketballs and volleyballs please bring those as we are provided with 3 gyms and nets. This is a perfect opportunity to follow up with your friends from Engage and invite them to an informal night of activity. No Other Name (April 2) is also a great opportunity to invite as well as the Getaway (April 16-18)!

IMPORTANT info:
GETAWAY meeting this Sunday at 1pm - 2:30pm (Lunch is provided), only students who desire to serve as student leaders (worship, devos, games/activities, promo/reg) need to attend.

I've also attached the application form for the Ouje trip and have set the deadline for applying at March 28th, that is 3 Sundays from now, please continue praying for the trip. Finishing this application on time/in advance does help indicate what sort of priority you place on being a part of this trip. After the applications are in, the C&Y core team will discuss the applications and then make a decision on the mission team as soon as we can in order to start the preparation for the trip.

If you are interested in baptism this Easter, you must apply before this Sunday, March 14th. If you are a believer in Christ and have not yet been baptized, please prayerfully consider this step of faith as it is an act of obedience that follows faith in Christ.

No Other Name, I'll be putting in the registration on March 14th, so add your name if you desire to come

Let us know how we can be praying for you or if you want to catch up over tea/coffee/lunch. :)

See you on Friday!
