YF Guys / Girls Night this Friday (2nd)

Had a great time at gym night, I know many of you are busy during this season at school but hopefully it gave you a chance to burn some of that anxiety! :) Thanks for the participation at our Wisdom series in Sunday school which we got to have with Pure Energy. We shared from Proverbs 10 and focused on honoring parents, diligent work, accepting correction and heeding discipline as godly attributes. I hear that some of you are still doing great in your discipline of reading and prayer each day, please continue encouraging each other as we are all in this together. An attitude of prayer for my whole week and yours: "Your prayers should be to recognize the reality and depth of your inner being and to ask God to meet you there. For Him to come and abide in this realm of your hopes, values, joys, hurts and loneliness." A verse from the passage I read yesterday resonated to my innermost being: "why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare." Isa 55:2

This Friday (Dec 2nd) is the long awaited guys/girls night. The girls will be meeting at Shelly's and the guys will be meeting at the Ling's place (addresses are in the waiver form).
FOR THE GUYS: Meet at the Ling's place between 5:30pm-6:00pm and bring $8 to help offset Hot Pot costs. Also please bring sauces (soy, sesame oil, chili) and gas stoves and gas. We'll also have some hilarious games and challenges :) Pick up time is 9:30-10pm


FOR THE GIRLS: Meet at Shelly's between 7:00pm-7:30pm. Please bring fruit for the fondue (ie. some apples, oranges/clementines, a pineapple, some kiwi, strawberries, bananas, grapes, etc) snacks, drinks, games, sleeping bags and pillows (if you are staying) and hygiene stuff for the morning. Pick up is 10am on Saturday or before 11pm on Friday.

This Sunday (Dec 4), we will continue our Wisdom series in the book of Proverbs. The quote I shared last week from Lecrae really illustrates how our search for wisdom should look like "Seek wisdom as desperately as you would seek your lost car keys while you are late for work." How desperately do we thirst for God or long for heavenly wisdom? Let's keep it up!

A good number of you are planning for baptism this Christmas so please pray for them as they go through baptism classes in the coming weeks.

Keep gearing up for our Christmas giving initiative. We have lists set up in the youth room and the downstairs hallway of what is needed. Please contribute as much as you would like :) No such thing as too much of course. We'll be putting those together on Friday the 23rd.

Let us know how we can be praying for you or if you would like to have tea/coffee/catch up soon!
See you all on Friday!
