YF Bible study this Friday (20th) Famine details, FM 4:10 etc.

Thanks for sending in a flood of mission trip applications on the last day, I even received one at 11:59pm on Sunday, no joke. Pray for the C&Y core group through this discerning time as we select the team for this incredibly important Ouje trip! Thanks for participating in our evening with Action Life last Friday, it was definitely a heavy evening and a burden that many of you are passionate about. Jesus came to seek and to save the lost and when we encounter Christ, He changes our lives and our perspective dramatically shifts. May Paul's instructions in Col 4:4-6 give us guidance on how our speech should always be 'full of grace and seasoned with salt...'

This Friday (20th), we will continue our study of the book of Colossians. We'll be continuing from where we left off in our last study at the end of 1:8. Bring your Bibles. We'd like to resume testimony sharing before Bible studies or YF, similar to things God has been teaching you (what you shared at Getaway, faithbook etc.). Let me know if you'd like to share in the coming weeks.

This Sunday (22nd), we'll pick up our study of Proverbs in chapter 23.

30 Hour Famine is next week (April 27th-28th at EACO), forms were handed out before Getaway to many of you, there is still time to get a good start on it as most do in the final weeks. DO NOT LOSE THE FORMS (they are marked legal fundraising documents so be sure to treat them with care). If you do not have forms, I'll give them to you this Friday. In your e-mail you'll see the official 30 Hr Famine release form and pictures of rewards for milestones in fundraising for the event.

I have the following 16 youth signed up for FM 4:19 at $10 a piece (It is now $15 to register, let me know as soon as possible). If you have paid you are marked with a (p): Allan, Andrew(p), Maria(p), Marcus(p), Zachary(p), Eric Y, Rachel Y, Priscilla, Eugene, Eugenia, Jade, Gloria, Hillary, Aaron, Jeffrey(p), Alison(p)

June 8th is Relay for Life, Eric Ling is organizing a group and members under that one group can begin raising funds, if you are interested in taking part in the fundraising let Jeff, Eugene, or Eugenia know.

Help us set up a time in the coming weeks to meet up, if you don't have the time to meet up - tell us how we can be praying for you/your family.

See you on Friday!
