Everything you need to know about Youth Fall Retreat this Weekend (16th-18th)

That was a hilarious game on Friday! The teams did well (for the most part, haha) as a lot of riddles were solved and loads of screaming and running away from ninjas. Congrats to the winning team, you have explored Chinatown well!

This weekend is the Fall Retreat! We already have 22 Sr. High students registered and the Jr. High forms have been building up too! We are looking forward to a great weekend of spiritual growth, fellowship and fun! The junior and senior high will join for the activities and free time but will have separate teaching times. YF will be focusing on praying like Jesus as the Bible teaches as well as setting aside time to listen to the Lord and reflect on Scripture. Pure Energy will focus on Jesus and the significance of the resurrection.

Important details:
1) Departure times: Rides will leave from Church around 5:45pm on Friday (16th) and we hope to arrive at Galilee before 7:30pm. We'll leave Galilee at 2:00pm on Sunday to be back at church before 4pm.
2) Dinner is NOT provided on Friday night (there will be a snack though), Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner is provided on Saturday with Breakfast and Lunch on Sunday as well.
3) Forms and registration fee ($90 to 'CCCO' memo: Youth Fall Retreat) is still needed from those who are coming but have not yet submitted them.

Things to Bring (and NOT 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 (guitars if leading), 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.)

If you have any additional questions, please e-mail me as soon as possible or call the church office. An alternate number is in your e-mail.

See you all this weekend (5:45pm at church on Friday!)
