YF Relay for Life this Friday (10th)
Thanks for making the time from your exam studies to look into Scripture and discuss the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. We asked some challenging questions on Friday. Are we allowing the Holy Spirit to transform our lives and our church? Are you quenching the Spirit's work in your life? This is what God wants for us, the Holy Spirit wants to lead us. He wants to lead us into something deeper, but do we believe it? I've seen the Spirit do supernatural work in your lives, continue to allow the Spirit to change aspects of your life that you could not on your own. May your life display God's glory as it has during Ouje trips, outreach events, your life at school etc. It's been an awesome weekend, I met with many of Jr. High parents and they have expressed deep desire to raise a new generation of passionate believers. We continued our journey in James during English service and focused on how seriously God takes sin in Sunday school through the example of Achan.
This Friday (10th), we encourage you to make it a priority to take a break from exams and join us in fellowship at the Relay for Life at the Nepean Sportsplex field. Each year we reserve this evening for church families to participate in the Relay for Life. Cancer has had an impact on all of us, some of us have lost loved ones or been through a difficult time where a family member, by God's grace; was able to fight cancer. Whatever the case, please join us for the evening at 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. Please bring your running shoes, clothing in preparation of the weather (colder in the evening), frisbees, footballs, baseball gloves etc. It is a very recreational time, where you can gather together for the fight against cancer as well as having a lot of time for meaningful talks, fun and fellowship.Message from Jeff regarding fundraising and directions:
If you are hungry, bring some money because uncle Eric will be selling snacks and beverages to help fundraise more for cancer. All proceeds will go toward Relay for Life so it's a good opportunity for those who couldn't donate (or want to donate more) to pitch in some loose change. If you can bring some toonies along, anything helps!
There is massive construction at the intersection of Woodroffe and Hunt Club. If your parents plan on driving you to the event, please tell them to avoid going down Hunt Club because you cannot turn left or right onto woodroffe (which means you have to take a massive detour). They can instead, take the 417 and get off a Woodroffe Avenue. Then go all the way down that street and get to the Sportsplex without trouble. It will save much heart ache.
This Sunday (12th) is our English Outdoor Worship in the Lord's Garden, there will be a barbeque/picnic time following the service so there is no Sunday school this Sunday, make use of this time to deepen relationships and get to know each other.
Please remind your parents to submit a recipe for Ouje (or two - main course/dessert). It's been at least 4 weeks of collecting recipes and we have not received nearly as many as anticipated.
Let us know how we can be praying for you guys and if you'd like to catch up!
See you all on Friday!
