YF Relay for Life this Friday (11th) at the Nepean Sportsplex

Thanks for a fun night at Pop-a-Balloon-a-Palooza last Friday! I know it is a busy time with exams and all, so I'm glad you could all come out and have a breather :) Laura took some pictures of the action on Friday (link in your e-mail)... She also posted some pictures from the Coffeehouse as well. If anyone else has pictures, feel free to share them! Please continue to follow up your coffeehouse discussions with friends regarding the testimony, skits, music and the whole coffeehouse and begin gearing up for the Alpha discussion series in September.

This Friday (11th), we are continuing our support of the Relay for Life at the Nepean Sportsplex (directions) . I am positive that cancer has had an impact on all of us (to varying degrees) so each year we set aside this Friday for our church families to get together for Relay for Life behind the Nepean Sportsplex (football field) at 7:30pm, you can arrive as early as 7:00pm and leave at whatever time is convenient for you (uncle Eric suggests after the candle ceremony at 10pm) some people often stay overnight. The closet OCTranspo Park and Rides are at Woodroffe/Baseline and the other at Woodroffe/Fallowfield. It's no cost for the event, your presence will show your support. If you wish, uncle Eric is raising support and you can make a donation in your name or anonymously, he will also have a small box for onsite donation if you share the burden. Please bring your running shoes, clothing in preparation of the weather (colder in the evening), frisbees, footballs, baseball gloves etc. This is a very recreational time, where you can gather together for the fight against cancer as well as enjoying the fellowship of others. If you are able to bring any food and drink, it is much appreciated as well! I will have a worship practice late Friday afternoon so if you are early and can not find me, uncle Eric's cell phone number is in your e-mails.

Although not everyone is able to physically be part of the Ouje team, we want to thank everyone for their participation in helping for the fundraiser, praying for us etc. We raised much more than our target goal, please continue praying for us in the coming weeks to prepare our hearts, the messages, worship, devotions, crafts and games!

Coming up (please book the following dates)
June 27th - July 3rd YF Missions to Ouje-Bougoumou
July 17th Church picnic and baptisms
August 16th - 20th YF Discipleship Week
September 17th YF Alpha begins (10 weeks)

Let us know if you'd like to meet up during the week or if you want us to pray for something particular!
See you all on Friday!
