YF Grad sendoff at Emily's this Friday (24th) 5:30pm


Thanks again for your amazing participation in Discipleship Week.  Despite missing some regulars due to jobs or prior commitments, we still had 28 of you show up with an average of over 20 each day!  Praise the Lord that you guys made it a priority to attend each day and staff at both St. Luke's and Jericho Road have a high opinion of you guys and the Christ-like example that you set as kind and hard-working servants.  We still have a couple of sessions that we can go through at another time regarding honoring God through finances and purity that we can explore at YF the next week.  As a work-up to Rock the River in the Fall, our Fall Retreat and the weeks leading up to it will be focused on "Preparing for the Harvest" as we pray for a greater desire for the Kingdom.

This Friday (24th), YF will be having a YF Grad sendoff pool party at the home of Emily's aunt at 5:30pm (address in e-mail)!   She has offered her entire backyard for us to enjoy the in ground pool, potluck, patio and fellowship.  If you are coming at 5:30pm please bring some ready to eat food for potluck!  Each year, as another YF cycle transitions into the next stage of life, there is no suitable way to commission them - so we'll throw a party and pray for them :)  Even if it rains, we'll have plenty to do indoors with games, movies, food etc. Feel free to invite your friends! Come to enjoy not only the beautiful weather and the pool, but the chance to be together in fellowship, talk, laugh etc. 

Time: Friday (24th) from 5:30pm to 9:00pm
Address: Address and Google Map Directions in your e-mail.
Bus directions (from Emily): Easiest bus stop would probably be the park and ride (at Eagleson) However there is one close to Cadence Gate (just outside the Great Canadian Superstore).
We can pick you up from the bus stop if you need us to.
Remember to BRING: Bathing suits (one piece or dark t-shirt), TOWELS, sunscreen, extra clothes, extra food/snacks/games. 

Coming up: 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!

Let me know if you guys want to meet up during the week to catch up!
See you all on Friday at Emily's!
