YF Sherlock Holmes Scavenger Hunt this Friday (9th) & Return Fall Retreat forms
Hope everyone had a refreshing long weekend to spend with family, a lot of the grads are also settling in to their new campuses. Summers are always great times to fellowship, do mission trips, service opportunities and catching up but it's time to look forward to a fresh Fall and new school year! We have a youth pastors meeting to set out some city wide opportunities for the year and Jr. High meeting as well to set out PE calendars and that's always a reminder for me that Fall is here (because at YF we don't stop :)
This Friday (9th) please meet at church (Rm. 202) no later than 7:30pm to begin our Sherlock Holmes (clues oriented) scavenger hunt this Friday (9th). It'll be an adventure around Chinatown. Each team will be given a package of photo clues with questions on each that need to be answered. The team that completes the most photo clues will win but there are some ninja's that you'll have to watch out for... they'll dock you some points if they catch you split up or unaware of your surroundings. We'll get back later for refreshments and fellowship. This is just a fun way to kick off our Fall, welcome our new students and begin our Fall semester together. Also, return your Fall retreat forms this Friday at YF! Fall Retreat (16th - 18th) is an amazing time to draw closer to the Lord and each other. Our desire is to learn to pray like Jesus prayed. He modeled an intimate relationship with God and our time in Scripture will teach us more about relying on the Lord and acknowledging Him in all our ways! Retreats are always refreshing and FUN too as we can enjoy lots of activity and free time! It's also refreshing to get away from the internet, video games and constant distractions that often provide little value to our lives. We hope to see all of you there, bring your forms on Friday!
Sunday school will also begin this Sunday (11th) in Rm. 202 following our English service.
See you all on Friday! Let us know how we can be praying for you.
A prayer from my devotional to focus on this week: "Almighty God, my Father, I call upon You and request of You that Your love may be found in me Your servant. I know not how to love as I ought; but You who are Love can reveal it unto me. Show me the way to Love. Amen." God will teach us how to truly love others if that is our desire. Is it? If you'd like read Psalm 82 along with your regular Scripture reading each day this week.
