Weekend Retreat!

By Dave Carrol -
Here we go! This is the plan for the weekend.

Friday Night:

Get to the church by 7pm where we'll be filling the night jammed full of amazing awesomness. Just a few of the games....


Hot, hotter and hottest... Mall Assault... Capture the flag... a BIG ole scavenger hunt and more You Tube games too!

Then... we'll sleep. We'll wake up and have breakfast (parents please let us know ASAP if you can help with a cold breakfast of bagels, muffins, cream cheese, syrup, drinks) and we'll be doing a Saturday morning session on "Our Story".

We'll then be piling into vans and driving to the Cambridge Center where we'll be shopping, eating and ice skating on the in-mall rink! So you'll need to bring money for lunch in the food court, 3 dollars for skating (IF you want to skate) and 3 dollars IF you need to rent skates. There will be time to shop if you are so inclined. Should be a great time!

We'll be coming back to the church for dinner (Tacos... parents... again if you can help bring dinner and drinks please let us know ASAP). We'll then be having a full-on youth retreat service where we'll take some time to dig in and let God speak and touch us!

We'll be done around 9pm so parents... you can come to pick up your kids between 8:30 and 9pm Saturday night.

BRING:

- Snacks

- Skates if you have them

- Sleeping bag and toiletries

- Pillow

- DEODORANT!!!

- Bible

- Money for food court / skating (please let us know if this is an issue... we'll make sure you're covered... we just want you there)

DON'T BRING

- Ipods (nope... you heard me right... this weekend is a RETREAT)

- Computers (NOPE... you heard me right... this weekend is a RETREAT)

- Bad attitudes


Guys this is going to be great weekend! Cya Friday Night at 7pm!

Last Week of Youth before Summer...

By -
Well, the time has not come... We are heading into the last week of youth before we take a small break for the summer holidays!!  This week will be a great night as we will be meeting out at the Reimer's home (see address below) for a campfire hang out night!! You can feel free to bring your bathing suits as there is a pool there to swim in.  But we will also be playing some great outdoor games, hanging out around the fire and chatting about the exciting NEW Youth Programs we will be running come September...  The night is going to be a great night for all so please make it a point to be there!! Please bring drinks for yourself as the leaders will be bringing everything food wise you need for a great night around the campfire :) We will be running from 7-10 this week just so everyone is aware and we will have anyone that will be going into Grade 6, 7 or 8 next year with us as well!!   See you all on Friday night.... ~ Distinct Youth Leaders 517 Mount Pleasan

I wanted to invite you guys from "Distinct" out this Friday Night on the streets for Flippin' Friday! It's a unique downtown experience where we serve food, meet "colorful" people and get to share the love of Jesus in a practical way. So here's the plan. Let's meet at Freedom Gate Apartments ( the old Freedom House building... NOT the mall ) at 8:45 in the common meeting area. That's through the fence on the non-parking side of the building. We'll meet as a youth ministry for 15 minutes or so and I'll go over what's going to happen that night and then we'll head upstairs to the apartment of our missionaries Steve Frank and Keith Cripps. We spend the next hour praying and hearing God for what he wants for the night. Then at 10pm... we hit the streets. Our youth leaders will be there to make sure it's a safe environment... but I will warn you... crazy things CAN happen. It would be great if you plan to be there until midn

Have you ever been at Aunt Beatrice's house for Thanksgiving and you're just about to sit down at the table for the feast when someone shouts out in horror... "Oh NO... I forgot the CRANBERRIES!!" This Friday Night at Youth... we make sure that this will not happen to homes in Brantford. How? It's RAK Night! We'll be meeting at the Freedom House City Center at 7pm and heading out into town to do Random Acts of Kindness by giving away Cranberries and through it, reminding people that God LOVES them. After... we'll be headed back to the church for some fun and snacks (so bring money for tuck shop!). Make sure your ride picks you up before the mall doors get locked at 10pm! See ya then!
