Gimme FUEL

Hey Hey Hey,

Back to a Wednesday night Bible study this week!  7-9PM, you know the drill.  This will be our last Wed night event of 2010.  The next two weeks will both be on Friday night. 

Dec 17 will be our 2nd annual National Lampoon’s Christmas party – make sure to wear your best Christmas sweater!  We may have it at the church, but we may have it at my house!  I’d like to have a Christmas party for everybody here, but this will be right in the middle of exam time for Katie and I, so we’ll have to keep you updated on that one!

Thinking about Jan-June 2011, I think what we will try this time around is a wider mix of Wed & Fri nights.  On weeks that there is TnT or LnL we will have a Friday night games night at the church, and weeks that there is not pre-teen we will do the Wed night FUEL Bible study.  This will cut down on driving for parents with younger kids, and will still allow me to get a break on weekends every couple weeks.  Both Wed and Fri evenings would be 7-9PM.  Thoughts?  mike@willowlake.ca

Peace,

Cliffy!

p.s. Great job to all the teens for shovelling on Friday night!

Bring a Shovel!

Hey hey, it's time for a Friday night youth group!!!! Right now Friday's forecast is sunny and -11 . . . I'm kind of praying that it snows! Here's the deal; bring a snow shovel Friday night, whether it snows or not on Friday, and we will walk through our neighbourhood and see if we can find any driveways or sidewalks that need shoveling out! Then we'll head back and have hot chocolate, play some games, and all that. And DON'T BE A HERO - wear a touque, mitts, boots, etc! We haven't had a service project this year yet, and this is a great suggestion for something we can do in our community! And don't worry Micah, because your arm is broken you can be foreman ;)

There is LnL on this week as well, so we will be done by 9PM for you parents who have offspring at both events.

A Blog Post

Yup, this is a blog post.  Youth this week is Wednesday evening for another instalment of FUEL.  We will be studying Romans 13:11-14, which is the passage Pastor Mark is preaching on this week.  Make sure to bring your Bible.  If we get over 15 teens out I will have an AMAZING announcement . . . maybe :p  Bring your Bibles!

FUEL This Week

Well, those of us who went at least had fun at the Bombers’ game last week!  It was fun to hang out with some of the teens and yell and scream and act like animals; ok, not really any different from any youth group but still fun! Don’t pay attention to the empty seats behind us; they only seem empty! :p

This week we are back for FUEL Bible study on Wed night at the church from 7-9 PM.  There is no school on Thursday so I’m hoping to have lots of teens out!  This week we will finish off 2 Thessalonians.  It’s a short chapter so read the entire thing ahead of time!   We’ve taken a bit of a more ‘ad-libbed’ approach to the Bible studies, still in search of that ‘perfect’ approach to studying together. 

Also I’m wondering if we should have a parents meeting soon, or if just another survey would be the easiest?  With Pastor Mark leaving on sabbatical soon, and other duties falling upon me this winter I’m asking for a lot more grace than usual :)
