Next Week

Breakfast on Tuesday
Two weeks is a really long time to not have youth...seriously! So, lets have breakfast together on Tuesday (Jan. 4). Let's meet at 10:00 am (that way you can still sleep in) at Angel's Diner (395 Ontario St.). Don't feel like you have to come, but if you're free and you want hang out then meet me there. You should be able to get breakfast for under $10, but bring $15 just in case.

Prep for youth next Friday
We're going to be having our Cheesy Christmas Potluck next Friday (Jan. 7). I'll send details about it next week, but there are some key components to the night that you might have forgotten about:
1. You'll need an ugly Christmas sweater.
2. We're doing a re-gift exchange.

Have a good holiday!

No Bible Study or Youth

I hope all of you had a good and merry Christmas! I can't believe that it's already come and gone! Anyhow, I'm just writing to remind you that there is no Bible study or youth this week. We also won't be having Bible study next week. I am however inviting everyone out for a group breakfast sometime next week...if you're interested then stay tuned for more details...

See you next week!

Caroling

Just a reminder that we're going caroling tonight!!! I'm going to be honest with you, I'm not sure that I've ever gone caroling before, but I have a feeling that the senior that we sing for tonight are going to absolutely love it!

We're meeting at Scott St. MB Church (339 Scott St.) at 7:00 pm and then we'll be heading out to do the caroling. PLEASE BE ON TIME...we aren't going to wait around the church for long, so if you know you're going to be late then let me know so we can wait for you.

Dress warm because we will be outside for part of the night.

After we're done caroling then we'll be putting together the stockings for The Deck.

Christmas Project & Ice Dogs

Two things for tomorrow...both are important so please read this entire message!

1. I'll be collecting money for our NEMBY Christmas project - stocking (filled with personal hygiene products) for some of the more needy youth from YFC's The Deck (a drop-in centre for street involved youth, here in St. Catharines). Our goal is to raise $1000! Perhaps that was a bit lofty, but anything we can do is better than nothing, so please bring along whatever money you can to help with this project. I need the money tomorrow so we can buy the stuff, assemble the stockings, and get them to The Deck next week. If you're not coming to youth tomorrow, but have money you'd like to donate then message me to let me know and I'll add it to our amount and collect it from you next time I see you.

2. We're going to see an Ice Dogs game tomorrow!!! Take a look at the list below. If you're name is on it then that means that I have a ticket with your name on it. The tickets were $11 each so please bring the money for your ticket along. We're going to be meeting at Fairview MB Church at 6:15 pm and we won't be waiting around for long, so DON'T BE LATE! If you know you're going to be late then let me know so I can make sure you get your ticket. If your name is not on the list below then that means I do not have a ticket for you, so don't show up at the church. Also, there will be a Teddy Bear Toss at the game tomorrow so if you want, you can bring a new teddy bear to help them with a toy drive they're doing.

Here's the list...if you're name is on it, but you can't come anymore then let me know so I can find someone else to take your ticket...otherwise you're still going to owe me $11.

Bible study & Christmas project reminder

Just a reminder that we've got Bible study tonight at 7:00 pm at Jesslyn's house (1515 5th St.).

We're going to be having a movie & discussion night about Christmas because I'm not sure if you've noticed, but Christmas is less than 2 weeks away!!!

Also, remember that we're still going to be collecting $ for our Christmas project. I'm hoping to collect it tonight and on Friday, so please think about what you can bring...and if you haven't thought of it yet, think about areas that you can save in between now and Friday to help contribute to the stockings that we're going to be filling for Youth for Christ.

If your name is on one of these lists but you can no longer make it then PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Mark needs to know who he’s waiting for, Grantham asked for a specific number of people and each person helping out with babysitting is assigned to an activity or group, so it’ll definitely throw things off if we’re expecting you and you don’t show up…that being said, if you can’t make it just let me know.

On the flip side, if you didn’t sign up for anything, but now want to come then just let me know and I can plug you in somewhere.

If you're not entirely sure what you'll be doing when you get to service location, know that the adult leaders leading your group will explain it all. If you've got any questions that you need answered before that, just let me know.

See you tomorrow!!!

Volunteering at Salvation Army

Tonight is Youth Bible Study night!!! Instead of the usual Bible study we're actually going to be helping out The Salvation Army with their Christmas Hampers. We're going to meet at GRANTHAM MB CHURCH (469 Grantham Ave.) at 6:45 pm and then we'll head over to the Salvation Army warehouse. Please wear warm clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. I'm not entirely sure what we'll be doing, but we'll probably be sorting clothes, toys, and food into bins.

The Salvation Army enables hundreds of families to celebrate Christmas and this is one way that we can help!

Remember 6:45 pm at Grantham MB Church! See you there!

Please pass this information on to anyone who is not yet part of this facebook group.
