YF 'Food Olympics' this Friday (3rd) VBS request, DWeek and more

Many in the congregation continue to share that they were encouraged by what the Lord is doing in Ouje and in the lives of YF following the past sharing services in English and Chinese.  Thanks for all those who shared and for all of you continuing to be examples through your life (whether at home, church, school or work).  Praise the Lord for summer!  It was a beautiful day out last Friday and we were able to spend hours together at Mooney's eating, playing volleyball, sandman and manhunt... that was a lot of running :)   Thanks to everyone who brought food, chips, drinks, watermelon etc.

This Friday (3rd), back by special request; we'll be having a "Food Olympics" event here7:30PM at church!  (Formerly known as 'Food Fight' but that title was misunderstood).  The last time we had this event was 2 years ago and it was a blast!  You may want to eat a lighter supper (just ensure that the cook understands so no offense is taken).  There will be team competitions, several games and of course food.  Invite your friends from coffeehouse and we'll see you all on Friday night!

This Sunday (5th), please pray for me as I will be preaching in the English service. 

VBS is coming up (20th-24th), thanks to all of you who volunteered, we are currently looking for rides for some of the children, if you have a sibling attending VBS with space in your car, please let us know! 

Discipleship Week 'Weird" is coming up August 13-17th!  We'll have times of teaching, discussion and practical service opportunities in our community.  Many of these practical things have led to volunteering on a regular basis for some of you.  Some have developed deep burdens and it has helped play a role in life choices.  Pray that God would continue to shape all of us and make us more like Him!

Fall Retreat is booked for September 21-23rd, pray for our retreat and Rock the River (Sept 29-30) the following week and bring your coffeehouse friends!

Coming up: 
Waterfight, Discipleship Week, Fall Retreat, Rock the River and more! 

See you all on Friday!
