YF/PE Winterlude this Friday 17th (Worship Training, Getaway)
Thanks for being a part of a fantastic Rock the River student launch on Friday, there were about 950 people with us on Friday! This event was designed primarily to let everyone know about Rock the River and build excitement for everything that's ahead of us! The next main parts of RTR is No Other Name on Apr 6th and then the FM 4:19 conference on May 4th-5th. Check out the Rend Collective Experiment who will be joining us then as well! Thanks for another energetic and interactive Sunday School too, it's been fun with the devotional sharings and discovering godly wisdom and character in Proverbs together!
This Friday (17th), we will be skating as Pure Energy and YF together on our annual Winterlude outing, we'll meet at the Yan's. The Yan family has graciously opened their home to us and we will be meeting there and being picked up there as it is conveniently close to the canal! Meet at the address in your e-mail at 7:15pm to 7:30pm, please make every effort to be on time because we would like to leave as a full group from the home to the canal. Please bring warm clothing, extra socks, skates (bag to carry those skates), money for beavertails (optional), gloves... well winter clothing, use your God-given common sense :)This Friday (17th), prior to YF will be the final worship training session in this series 5pm - 7pm, we will have some sharing from auntie Salina regarding teaching children, Tim and Manson will be sharing on the logistics of working together as a worship team. If you signed up for this, please make every effort to make it and if you are interested you are more than welcome to join! If you need a ride from church to auntie Salina's house for Winterlude, please let us know as soon as you read this! :)
This Sunday (19th), we'll continue with a 'devotional thought' and our series through Proverbs, last week we looked at godly leadership and characteristics of God that we should pursue, this week we look at harmony in relationships.
In your e-mail is the soft copy of the Getaway form that many of you received last Friday! There is a beautiful poster prepared by our own Priscilla as well (a portion of it is on the form too). The deadline for registration is March 4th, please get your forms and cheques payable to 'Ottawa Chinese Youth Ministerium' in as soon as possible.
Preparations and meetings are ongoing for all the Getaway committees, hope things are going well!
No one has given a very definitive answer on the Ski trip at Cascades on the 25th, $15 rental, $15 lift, $11 lessons, $6 helmet and $10 bus, this is literally last call.
Prayer: Please continue praying for the personal things you know about (whether shared publicly at YF) or trusted to you by a brother or sister, also pray for our Elders/Deacons meeting this Thursday night where we lay out ministry plans and budgets, pray for unity in what is essential, liberty in things that are not and that God would give us leaders wisdom and discernment.
Let us know how we can be praying for you and when you would like to catch up!
See you all on Friday!
