Friday post

Couple quick things.

1. Regular youth group time this Sunday 6:30-8. Hope you can make it! We've been going through a series about being authentic and no wearing a mask.

2. Along with #1.....if you have a Bible, you should start bringing it to youth group on Sunday night. I'm working on getting some new Bibles for the youth room, but until then, it'd be helpful if you had your Bible with you. It's also helpful if we're studying something that you want to remember or want to study further, you can mark it in your Bible and then go back later. So if you could bring your Bible, bring it. If you need a new Bible, if yours is worn out, or you never had one....let me know I'll get you one!

3. Rec. night is going to change. Not this coming week, but next week Rec is going to move to Thursday night at 7. The first Thursday Rec. will be Oct. 12th. We'll see how it goes.

4. THE CRY is coming soon. If you're going, you need to get me registration ASAP. We need to get those in. I got a call from the head guy this week wondering if there was anyone coming......so the sooner you get that to me the better we are!

5. This is from Corban........fvbbrtxygtaxxc.;/

Get your calendar out!

If you don't have a personal calendar mark these dates and times down and give them to your parental figures.

THIS SUNDAY!!!! Sept. 24 6pm Soldiers and Sailors park. See You At The Pole RALLY! Come one and all. This will be cool. There looks like a chance of rain, if that happens, go to the park and someone will tell you were to go. It will still happen!!!!

Nov. 3-4 THE CRY Jamestown. 30 bucks. You should go

Dec. 30-Jan. 1 NEW YEARS REVOLUTION. Retreat at Mission Meadow Camp on Chataqua Lake. Rough cost looks like 45 dollars....but we'll finalize that soon. This will be a fun weekend of games, food, learning, music and a great way to celebrate the NEW YEAR!!

Who wants pizza?

Thanks

I want to start this post by saying "Thank you". To everyone who was at youth group last night Thank you. (this isn't a guilt trip for those of you not at youth group...let me explain)

I left youth group last night in a hurry, but I wanted so badly to stay and continue our discussion. Whether you liked our study last night or night....thank you for participating. I think everyone in the room had something to say at some point. I really appreciated that. Thanks.

Ok moving on.

Regular youth group time this week as far as I know....

September 24th. That's not this Sunday but it's next Sunday, we are meeting at 6pm at Soldiers and Sailors park (that's the little park where they have music in the park in the summer). That night we're having a See You at the Pole Rally. Tons of youth your age packing that little park out. How cool will that be?

Wednesday September 27 SEE YOU AT THE POLE!! This is your chance to stand and pray for you school, for your teachers, for your principle, for your community. If you need a ride, I'm going!

Nov. 3-4 THE CRY Convention in Jamestown. We're going to talk about this Convention this coming week at youth group. If you won't be at youth group let me know and i'll get you the info. It's a Friday night/all day Saturday convention in Jamestown. Really cool stuff going on.

Dec. 30 2006-Jan.1 2007 Winter retreat thingie.....(we don't have an official name yet for it) Lots of details still in the works with this but mark it on your calendars now. The dates are set in stone. A very very cool winter retreat to get you ready before you go back to school. FUN!!! FUN!!! Did I say FUN!!! I can not wait to go myself!

So I posted a funny video with Napoleon Dynamite on it.....most of you have seen the movie right? Well the dancing part comes right out of the movie. (if you haven't seen the movie I would recommend it......either you'll like it, or you'll think it's dumb.....it's clean PG so no worries there) ANYWAY....do you know who David Crowder is? The music that's going on in the video is not original to the movie!!!!!! That's what makes this funny. David Crowder is a really rocking worship guy that looks like me! I had my goatee first and mine's longer! ANYWAY, he totally rocks and this is one of his songs. I'm glad some of you liked it.

Did you know that Veggie Tales is now on Saturday morning cartoons on NBC? Well it's a little bit different....they don't look at the camera and say, "the Bible says that you kids should....." but it's close. The hope is that kids will fall in love with Bob and Larry and then go buy the videos.

Sunday

Wanted to tell you a couple things.

1. Corban is being baptized this coming Sunday morning at 11am. If you go to another church but want to be there for this, I wanted you to know that it's this Sunday. Lots of family in friends will be there and you all are family to us, so you should come.

2. Regular youth group this week at 6:30pm

3. Answer this question....what would it look like if Rec. was moved to Thursday night instead of Wed.?

4. Are you ready for some football?

5. I'm preparing for a retreat thing I'm doing for the Warren County Christian School next week, during the week. I have to speak 5 times...and I'm stressing out. Can you please pray for me as I work on these messages? Thanks

6. I'm an alligator.
