YF Getaway Retreat: Know my Voice - Ten Four this weekend (18th-20th)

It's here! YF Getaway Retreat at Camp Galilee!!. Our focus this year is "Know my Voice - Ten Four", we will spend some time in John chapter 10 focusing on knowing God's voice and responding to it. Many of you have been working extremely hard in your various planning committees to prepare for the retreat, I pray that you have grown throughout this process. Please continue to pray for all the various teams, leaders, pastors and Pastor Robin Mckee as he will share God's Word with us this weekend!

The Details:
Please meet at OCAC (a 2 minute walk from CCCO [directions]) at 4:50pm on Friday, April 18th - buses will depart shortly after. Please prepare to be picked up around 4:30pm Sunday, March 20th from OCAC.

Stuff to bring:
Bible, writing utensils, clothes for the 2 days and 2 nights, paper or notebook, appropriate clothing for both indoor and outdoor games and activities. cameras, sleeping bag, pillow. hygeine items such as toothbrush, comb, shampoo, deodorant. (instruments and equipment if you are on the worship team)

Leave this stuff at home:
ipods, mp3 players and the sort. no alcohol, tobacco or weapons of any kind permitted. Cell phone use is only to call parents/emergencies, no texting the person beside you... try speaking to them face to face (it's a new idea! :)

*** Ouje-Bougoumou forms are attached in your e-mail, firm deadline is April 8th. This form will take some time to reflect and answer questions, please don't take this opportunity lightly and prayerfully consider your participation.
** Remember to let me know about NO OTHER NAME before April 1st for $10 savings! $26 instead of $36.
* I'll be handing out 30 Hr. Famine fundraising forms this weekend too.


Ongoing:
There are baptism opportunities this Easter service, if you have been praying about baptism please let me know as soon as possible! :) I spoke with Lisgar's Christian group (fantastic group). I want to serve you and your schools too! Let me know if you would like to catch up and pray together too!

Upcoming (mark your calendars):
30 Hour Famine: We are doing the 30 Hour Famine this year! I've asked the other pastors and they are down. April 8-9th!
No Other Name: April 22 http://www.noothername.net/ $26 before April 1st, $36 after April 1st
For those who are prayerfully considering missions in Ouje, our dates would be June 26th - July 2nd. There is potential that the trip could be longer than previous years, but that is the Teen Camp date. Pastor Enoch and I hope this doesn't overlap with exam dates as it has in previous years.

See you all on Friday!!! Pray for the weekend!
