YF Student Bible Study this Friday (16th) Getaway meeting (18th 1-3pm)

He must become greater, I must become less... John 3:30 Very convicted from Luke 12:47-48 (12:35-53 for context) this morning, read if you made it this far in the e-mail.

This Friday (16th), we have the privilege of looking into Philippians 3:12-21 facilitated by Eugenia, Rachel and Maria. It's significant to note that a sister feels a special burden to lead this passage this week. As we see God transforming our peers and what He is doing in their lives, my prayer is that God increases our faith as He uses these three to teach us. You all have a voice: We want to encourage everyone in YF to share stories of how God is working in your life and consider facilitating a Bible study. Please bring your Bibles and a desire to participate and be changed. Next week (23rd) we will be getting together with the children from AWANA and junior high in Pure Energy to put together our Christmas gifts for the community!

This Sunday (18th) there are a couple of things going on. We'll have our GETAWAY 2012 launch meeting at OCAC from 1pm to 3pm. Lunch will be provided. Getaway is a student dreamed/fueled event. Our desire is to equip and empower youth to discern the theme, lead the worship, promo/registration, activities, small groups and games! Please commit to taking part in this planning meeting! We'll also continue our study in the book of Proverbs.

Leadership Retreat will be from January 6th to the 7th, the registration form is included in the e-mail as well as details and has a portion for each participant to sign (not just the parents).

Our Christmas initiative has been going well, but still require 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.

Drop a quick e-mail to update us on how we can be praying for you and if you'd like to set up a time to meet.
See you on Friday!
