YF Bible Study this Friday (9th)

I've heard a lot of great things about the girls night, I was told that the volume was a constant fever pitch loudness and lots of laughter was had! The guys were well fed and had some pretty hilarious endurance tests and some had complained of physical pain in the aftermath.... all in all, good times :) It was encouraging to have our second monthly intergenerational gathering at Sunday school. We had a time to pray/share what was happening in our lives in our groups and hopefully a time to get to know each other. One challenge that struck a chord in our group was "without faith it is impossible to please God" and asking ourselves how faith is being cultivated in our lives or if God was calling us to something that required faith in His promises.

This Friday (9th), we will be continuing our study in Philippians at church. Last time, Wardrer shared his testimony while Aaron and Marcus facilitated our discussion on Philippians 2:1-11. It was pretty awesome to see our own youth teaching and the active participation of the group! This week (9th) we will look at the other half of chapter 2 and next week (16th) Maria, Rachel and Eugenia will be sharing with us! Please bring your Bibles and a willingness to learn and be continually changed as a result.

This Sunday (11th), we will continue our Wisdom series in the book of Proverbs. Keep praying for those who are preparing for baptism this Christmas, the classes have been going underway and wrapping up soon.

Our Christmas initiative has been going well, but still require a lot of donations on the list to prepare the gifts! Please contribute any amounts of the following: Toothbrushes, floss, towels, deodorant, socks, kleenex, cough drops, candies, key chains, toilet paper, candy canes, notebooks, pens, travel mugs, etc. There is a display of boxes on the second floor which we will pack and write encouragements on the 23rd of December :)

Let us know what's been going on and if you'd like to set up a time to meet.
See you on Friday!
