Bible study on Jonah (Minor prophets) this Friday (23rd)

Thanks for joining us for last Friday's activities at our house, it was great to get to know some of you a bit more and play Wii, Taboo, Guillotine and everything. Not even a crumb was left of snacks, it was quite the sight :) We also had the privilege of witnessing our brother Wardrer proclaim his faith through baptism at the church picnic, may we continue encouraging one another as a family! It's been a great summer so far with the Ouje trip, sardines, games and all the great weather. I was meeting with Salem's manager this morning to thank him for all the Bibles he donates for the Cree youth and he was excited to hear about Cree youth being introduced to Christ and beginning a relationship with Him. Hope your summer school is going well along with all the traveling your family may do as well :)

This Friday (23rd), we will be continuing our Bible study in the Minor prophets with the book of Jonah. We'll be looking deeper into a book that all of us are familiar with but we'll see that we all have much to learn from the lessons God taught Jonah regarding the state of his heart. If it's a nice day out, we hope to have the Bible study in the backyard of 118 but let's all meet in the youth room at 7:30pm. Please bring your Bibles and an open heart to hearing what God has to say to us. We'll also have a time of refreshments and fellowship afterwards.

Remember that Discipleship week is coming up on August 16th-20th every morning from 9am-12noon. We will be learning more about the Holy Spirit and how the Spirit desires to transform our life and what that means for us each and everyday. We'll be looking into Scripture and have various serving opportunities during the week so please make that time a priority and schedule it in your calendar and off of work. Also, August 25th we also have a serving opportunity again to serve the Ottawa Mission. Please continue to pray for your friends as Youth Alpha approaches in September (24th). This Sunday auntie Salina will be holding an information session on the Fall children's program called TOGETHER from 11-12noon, she is looking for youth volunteers to give back to children so make sure to let her know if you are willing to serve!

Once again, feel free to set up times to meet up to hang out/chat/pray, let us know what's been going on in your life and what we can pray for!

See you all on Friday!
