YF Christmas Gift Preparation (23rd) this Friday and Short Practice
Thanks for a great weekend! Eugenia really opened up her heart sharing her testimony on Friday along with Maria and Rachel who led a meaningful Bible study in a powerful passage from Philippians. Then on Sunday the Holy Spirit was really present in our Sunday School. My heart was heavy and then so many of you took promptings from the Spirit to open up. A lot was shared in that space and we prayed and each of you committed to praying for what was shared in that room. A reminder to keep all of that information in trust. The Spirit is really working in our fellowship and teaching us to listen each day. We had a good 14 of us attend the Getaway meeting at OCAC as well, if you weren't able to make the meeting but would like to serve on worship, promo/reg, or small groups/rec let me know! "I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory. Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You." Ps 63:2-3
This Friday (23rd) we'll have the special opportunity to prepare gifts and cards (w/ AWANA and Pure Energy) and be a blessing in our community. For the past few weeks we've been collecting many fun items on a wishlist and a couple of us will pick up more items this week! On Friday, we will separate these gifts and prepare cards in preparation of delivering them on the morning of the 28th. Please bring as many gift bags or gift boxes as possible and any crafts/stickers you may have that can help decorate the cards. We'll also have a short practice for a lighthearted Christmas presentation that we'll have on the 25th with AWANA and Pure Energy. For those who have entered the secret gift exchange, please bring your gift as well. There will be refreshments for all of us as well.This Sunday (25th) will be Christmas day! Jesus, Lord at thy birth... it'll be a morning of worship where we can also witness several young people in YF identify themselves in the death and resurrection of Christ. Encourage these brothers and sisters as they will commit to allowing the Spirit to work in their lives and follow Christ. It is a 10:00am service and there will be no Sunday School
Leadership Retreat will be from January 6th to the 7th at our place, the registration form is in your e-mail as well as details and has a portion for each participant to sign (not just the parents).
Remember there are so many needs to pray for this Christmas season, pray for those who come to mind.
Let us know how we can be praying for you throughout the week as well, if you would like to meet, please help us set a concrete date :)
See you all on Friday!
Merry Christmas!
