Treasure Hunt

Tomorrow night is going to be our first ever SSMBY treasure hunt. Now, I know that you guys don't like change or trying new things, but trust me, this is going to be fun. It'll be packed with adventure and you'll have to use your wit, your charm and your brawn in order find the treasure.

See you at the church on Friday at 7:00 pm.

p.s. What's a pirate's favourite sport?

Ice Cream @ Port

We're going to be going to Port Dalhousie for ice cream this Friday...nice and relaxed after an AMAZING retreat. So, we'll be meeting at the church at 7:00 (the usual) and then heading out. Please bring some money along if you want to get ice cream. Hmm...it might also be a good idea to bring some bug spray. I don't think the bugs have been that bad this year, but I'm having flashbacks of last year and being eaten alive, so it's probably best to be prepared.

See you Friday!

Lawn Games & Outdoor Movie!!!

I hope you're planning on coming to youth tomorrow night because it's going to be AWESOME!!! We'll start out playing a few classic lawn games (bocce ball, croquet, etc.) while we wait for the sun to set and then we'll lie back and enjoy a movie that brings us back to the simpler times of childhood fun and adventure. Seriously, you do not want to miss this! However, to make sure that you have a truly enjoyable evening PLEASE BRING WARM CLOTHES AND BLANKETS!!! Even if it's hot out during the day and you are absolutely sure that you won't get cold, just indulge me by bringing really warm clothes and at least one blanket along...trust me, it gets cold out once the sun goes down...bug spray might also be helpful.

We'll be meeting at the church at 7:00 pm and then heading to my parents' house, so let me know if you're going to be late and I can give you directions. Also, if you know that you need to be home early then arrange for your parents to pick you up from my parents' house (I can give you directions if you need them).

So, just to make sure you get it...
You need to bring:
* warm clothes (pants, hoodie, socks and shoes) for when the sun goes down
* a warm blanket to cover up with (we definitely didn't have enough last year, so everyone bring one just to make sure)
* a lawn chair (if you have one, if not then hopefully we'll have enough blankets to lay down on and cover ourselves with)
* YOUR SUMMER RETREAT FORM!!! Tomorrow is the deadline for them

See you tomorrow!

Last BS of the Summer

It's the first Tuesday of the month again...man, time is going to so quickly...however, instead of having girl/guy bible study we're going to be having regular Bible study at my house tonight...and this is going to be the last Bible study of the summer! WHAT!?!? I know it's a shocker! It's been a while since we've had regular Bible study, but if you think way back, you'll remember that we've been going through the book of Ephesians and we'll be finishing up with it tonight.

So, I'll see you tonight at 7:00 pm at my house.
