Dinner Around the World

Tomorrow night will be a night like no other in SSMAIRVIEW history. It will involve travel, adventure and international cuisine that will leave your taste buds longing for more.

We’ll be meeting at Scott St. at 7:00 pm and make sure that you do NOT eat supper before you come…trust me, you will regret if you do.

Make a Movie Night

Lights! Camera! Action! Tomorrow is “Make-a-Movie Night” so that means that you’ll have a chance to put all your acting, directing, screen writing, etc. skills into action. I’m not going to lie, I’m not very creative and therefore this has never been one of my favourite events, but because of that, Carmen and I have planned it in a way that even I can have fun with it.

We’ll be meeting at Scott St. at 7:00 pm, so I’ll see you then.

I’m going to be trying to get a hold of people tonight to see who’s got video cameras we can use, but if you’ve got one at home that your parents will let us use then please respond to this message and let me know…that’ll cut down on the phone calls I have to make tonight. We need video cameras and the cables that go with them, so we can plug them into a television.

Volunteering Tonight

This is just a reminder that we're volunteering at the MCC Christian Benefit Shop tonight. We'll be meeting at the church at 6:00 pm and please be on time. I want to leave right away so we can maximize our volunteer time.

I'm not entirely sure what we'll be doing there, but we might be sorting and pricing clothing, folding and pricing fabric, fixing and getting appliances and furniture ready to be sold, etc. It could really be anything. There is a chance that you will get dirty, so please don't wear your favourite clothes.

The store closes at 8:00 pm, so we will leave shortly after that.

Volunteering on Thursday & Sign-up for Sunday

This is just a reminder that for Bible study this week we're volunteering at the Christian Benefit Shop, so we will not be meeting at my house tonight, but we'll be meeting at Scott St. Church at 6:00 pm on Thursday.

Also, the Spaghetti Dinner & Pie Auction sign up sheets didn't make it all the way around the room on Friday, so please respond to this message to let me know if you can bake a pie and/or help with set up, serving, and clean up on Sunday.

Youth Tomorrow and More

Tomorrow night will be a night filled with adventure and mystery and you seriously do not want to miss it…I don’t want to give anything away, so that’s all I’m going to say about that, but trust me it’s going to be good and even if you think you know what a murder mystery is all about, know that there will be twists and turns all over the place with this one.

We’ll be meeting at the church at 7:00 pm tomorrow night, so I’ll see you then!

Also, our annual Spaghetti Dinner & Pie Auction is coming up on Sunday, April 25th…that’s next Sunday. All former SSMBY members will know what this is, but since we’re now SSMAIRVIEW I’ll explain it. It’s basically our main fundraiser for the year and it fills up our youth budget and provides us with the funds we need to run a great youth program.

As a group we put on this Spaghetti Dinner for the church and then for dessert we auction off pies that WE HAVE BAKED. Our church loves us and regardless of how good our pies are, some of them go for over $100! It’s a lot of work, but it’s loads of fun, and it’s great to see the support that the church has for us.

Anyhow, in order to make this work, I need everyone’s help! I need people to help set the tables, people to serve, people to clean up, people to help with the cooking, and especially people to bake pies. We need at least 20 pies. Now, you might be thinking, “I’ve never baked a pie before, so she couldn’t possibly be talking to me.” I am talking to you! Ask your mom if she can help you or call your grandmother…I’m sure she’d love to spend time with you. I don’t know how to bake a pie either, so I’ll be getting together with my mom to get my baking on.

I’m going to be sending around a sign-up list tomorrow to see who can help with what. Even if you don’t attend church at Scott St. on Sunday mornings, this is one Sunday that I’m requesting that you ask your parents if you can come to Scott St. for.

This message is getting crazy long, so that’s all I’ll say about this for now, but I’ll explain a bit more at youth tomorrow.

NO BIBLE STUDY TONIGHT

I hate to do this again, but I'm canceling youth Bible study tonight. I hurt my back again and don't think I'll be up for having all of you over for it tonight. Sorry about that and if you know of someone who was planning on coming, can you let them know that we won't be meeting tonight? Thanks.

Post-Easter Easter Stuff

Although Easter has already passed, we would not be SSMAIRVIEW if we didn't drag it out it a bit (remember our SSMAIRVIEW Christmas potluck...), so tonight will be all things Easter. In my last message I had mentioned a horrible Christian t-shirt competition, but we're going to hold off on that for a bit to give people more time to get one, so keep your eyes open, because the competition isn't happening tonight, it will be happening in the near future.

We'll be meeting in at Scott St. at 7:00 pm. See you tonight!

Bible Study and more

Hello SSMAIRVIEW!

I just want to remind you that we've got Bible study at my house tonight at 7:00 pm. Remember Bible study is for EVERYONE.

Also, this Friday we're going to be doing post-Easter Easter stuff...what the heck does that mean?!? Well, I'm not going to give it all away, but it will include a horrible Christian T-shirt competition, so either dig out your horrible Christian t-shirt, or try to find one from the thrift store, or get creative and make one...here are some examples of what a horrible Christian t-shirt might say: JCU (Jesus Christ Univeristy in the style of a university t-shirt), iPray, anything that takes a regular logo and replaces words to make it "Christian".

So, start working on finding a horrible Christian t-shirt and stay tuned for more info about this Friday.

Easter Weekend

Easter weekend is a busy weekend at church, so here are the important things for all SSMAIRVIEW members to remember.

1. There is no youth on Friday night. Enjoy some time with your family.

2. There are Good Friday services for you to attend...Fairview at 10:30 am and Scott St. at 10:45 am.

3. We've got our annual Sunrise Service at 6:45 am on Sunday morning. Meeting us at Lock 1. Let me know if you don't know how to get there and be on time because we're going to be STARTING at 6:45. Dress warm, bring blankets and a lawn chair. We will also be going out for breakfast at Angel's Diner after the Sunrise Service, so bring some money along for that.

4. The Sunday school program at Scott St. is looking for some people to hide the candy bags for the kids. Be at Scott St. at 9:30 am to help with that.

5. Think about the significance of Easter and what it is that we are remembering and celebrating.

Let me know if you've got any questions about any of this.
