Well, it's that time of year again! Youth group will get underway this week on Friday, from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at the church.
This year we are calling youth "Impact!" and, as the name suggests, it's all about God and the impact He has on our lives. Not only that, but it's also about the impact that we, even as teenagers, can have on the world around us when we live centred on Christ's love. I've been thinking and working on this theme for the past two months and am very excited to see what God has in store for us this year. For both the parents and teens out there, I ask you to join with me in prayer throughout the year. This is the first and most important step we can take together.
This year will see us serving more often than last year and I am excited for that. Every second month we will be going to Winnipeg Harvest to help them in their sorting at the warehouse. These nights are open to everyone, not just teens. I hope that these nights will become a special evening where young, old, and in-between serve side-by-side. Willyn and myself have also had discussions about possibly doing something to bless people on the streets of our downtown-core and we hope to be able to do something this year.
This year will be busy - especially the fall. We have Rock the River coming up quickly, and also will be going to Winkler Bible Camp in November for the MB Youth Retreat. Be sure to check the blog often for now (changes are coming to the church website soon which will keep everything in one place finally!)
Look forward to seeing everyone at our first night of Impact! this Friday!
