Youth Alpha Retreat this Friday-Sat (5th-6th) at Camp Galilee

This Friday and Saturday (5th-6th) is our Alpha Retreat at Camp Galilee! Our retreat theme centers around knowing and experiencing Christ, fellowship, building relationships with one another, free time and games! I am encouraged that some of you have responded to the previous e-mail and took the initiative to encourage each other to participate. May the Lord continue the work that He has started in your lives! Please continue praying for us, that the Lord would draw us individually and as a group to Himself and that all the details would fall into place for the retreat. If you have let me know you are coming but have not filled out the forms, please do so and attach $45 to 'CCCO' for the retreat fee. Since the other congregations will not join us on this retreat it did create a logistical difficulty in finding rides, but we'll keep looking and I'll send you more details about transportation.

Important details:
1) SUPPER IS PROVIDED on Friday night (it'll be a later supper so you can bring a snack for the ride), BREAKFAST and LUNCH provided on Saturday too with a snack before we leave.
2) Departure times: Most of the rides will leave from Church around 5:45pm (unless you have been notified differently as some will leave from Kanata) on Friday (5th) and we hope to arrive at Galilee before 7:30pm. We'll leave Galilee at 5:30pm on Saturday night (6th) with a snack at 5pm for the road.
3) Forms and registration fee ($45 to 'CCCO' memo: retreat) is still needed from those who are coming but have not yet submitted them.

Things to Bring:
Essential things to bring: Bible, pens, papers, special health devices, sleeping bags, warm clothes, outdoor clothes (and change of clothes depending on weather), towels, toiletries, worship music, form/cheques if you forgot, bathing suit - if you are crazy
Additional things: board games, group games, basketballs, footballs, baseball gloves and balls etc.
Things NOT to bring: ipods, media players (videos, music, movies etc.)

See you all on Friday and Saturday,
