YF Gym Night this Friday (25th) with PE, H2O

Honestly, I was really encouraged this weekend! I pray that the Spirit was speaking to you throughout the 'Teaching' Bible study and discussion on Friday and that you would take seriously your role in being a student and teacher of His Word. May we learn to crave it as newborn babies crave milk. Pray for God to bear fruit through the student ministry focus and message on Sunday and that more friendships would develop. I read a quote yesterday from Lecrae "Seek wisdom as desperately as you would seek your lost car keys while you are late for work" haha hopefully that's our attitude in our journey in Proverbs. "Let your praying this week be for a true sense of being heard. Do not particularly pray for feeling or specific answers. Rather pray for the quiet confidence that you are in conversation with your Heavenly Father." Pray for a clearer vision of God's truth, a greater faith in His power and a more confident assurance of His love. Ps 46; 2 Cor 12:7-10; Gen 32:22-31; Phil 3:7-12; John 4:1-26; 1 Cor 2:6-16; Jer 17:5-10; Job 42:1-6

This Friday (25th), is Family Gym Night so we will MEET at St. Patrick's High School Gym 2525 Altavista Dr (directions) from 7pm - 10pm (form in your e-mail). We have access to one gym from 7pm until 8pm and access to all three gyms from 8pm to 10pm. Please feel free to come as early as 7 to just chat/catch up with one another or use the first gym. We will be joined by Pure Energy, h2o and CCCO as well! Please go directly to St. Pat's High school. This is free access so feel free to invite any friends that would love to get an evening workout and meet new friends. Bring your running shoes and sports clothes. Just in case, they do not open the supply room, please bring any basketballs, badminton, sports equipment you may have.

This Sunday (27th), we will continue our series in the book of Proverbs. Please also keep in your prayers our church AGM meeting which will take place on Sunday and we will be electing Elders and Deacons to join our church leadership. This is a serious matter so please pray that we would be seeking the Spirit.

Baptism opportunity this Christmas, I'm having a class this Friday before YF so please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to be baptized this Christmas. Baptism is an act of obedience which symbolizes being baptized into His death and buried in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we too may live a new life. (Romans 6:3-5).

As I mentioned on Sunday, I met with Maxine from Saint Luke's and they are absolutely pleased to partner with us in our Christmas initiative. Please begin assembling your items and putting aside any boxes/gift bags we can use. We will be putting them together with AWANA, PE and YF on Dec 23rd.

The next week (Dec 2) will be the long anticipated guys/girls night, so keep the ball rolling on that end.

Let us know how we can be praying for you!
See you all on Friday!
