Breakfast on Monday


NEMBY!!!

I hope all of you had a great Christmas, enjoying time with family & friends!  We're currently on our first of two Fridays that we're NOT have youth.  So, DO NOT come to any of our churches tonight...WE ARE NOT HAVING YOUTH TONIGHT.  You should however plan on coming to Angel's Diner on Monday morning at 10 am for breakfast!  Two weeks is too long for us to not get together so join me (and whoever else comes) for breakfast on Monday. I hope to see you there!

Coffee House & Open Mic

This Friday we'll be meeting at Scott St MB Church at 7 PM and we're inviting our North End MB Young Adults to join us for night of good food & drink, cozy atmosphere, and great entertainment (provided by you)!  Acts can include anything you want to share with the group...acoustic songs, spoken word, a reading from your favourite book of poems, a short story, jokes, skits, etc.  Sign up your act with Mark and come out to enjoy a night of being together, celebrating Christmas, and celebrating the gifts & talents God has given us!

Bible Study

NEMBY!!!

Not only is it Tuesday, but it's the last Tuesday that we're meeting before Christmas!!! We've been collecting money for our special Christmas project for the past 3 weeks and we're currently up to $200! Good job, NEMBY! If anyone has any last minute contributions to make then message me with the amount and I'll add it to our total.

Tonight, we'll be meeting at Scott St MB Church at 7 PM, but instead of our usual Bible Study we'll be purchasing and assembling the toiletry stocking for The Deck and we'll be assembling the Christmas Eve candy bags for Scott St. It'll be a great night of serving others.

See you tonight!

CHANGE OF PLANS...THERE'S SNOW!!!

*** THIS JUST IN ***

We're changing the plans for tonight because....THERE'S SNOW OUTSIDE!!! Instead of NEMBY Records, let's get all bundled up and go TOBOGGANING!!!


We'll still meet at 7 PM at Scott St MB Church, but wear your snow gear (snow pants, warm jacket, scarf, toque, mitts, etc.) and bring a sled, crazy carpet, GT, toboggan, or whatever sledding device you have in your garage because we're going tobogganing!!! 


Once we're sufficiently tobogganned out, we'll come back to the church to warm up with a Christmas movie, hot chocolate and snacks.


Remember to bring your money for our Christmas project...we're at just over $108 and another $200 would give us enough to do this well. That's a big goal for one night, but NEMBY let's do this!

NEMBY Records


NEMBY!!!

There is a magical book that you may have heard of called the NEMBY Book of Records.  Many have heard of this book but few have actually seen it.  Well, this Friday is your chance to join the ranks of past & present members of NEMBY who, although they may have never seen the book, have their names recorded in it for the outstanding, jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring feats of strength or endurance that they have shown at our annual NEMBY Records night. Do you think you have what it takes to chug water faster, or kick your shoe further, or hula-hoop longer than your fellow NEMBYians?

This Friday we will be meeting at 7 PM at Scott St and you will have a chance to make your name known in The NEMBY Book of Records.

Tuesday, December 10, 2013

Photo Scavenger Hunt

This message is brought to you by Phil K.

____________

Are you looking for Exciting Drama? Thrilling Adventure? Awesome Action Sequences? Then NEMBY is the place for you this Friday...because we'll be taking pictures of all sorts of stuff that almost fit into the aforementioned categories!

That's right everybody, it's #PhotoScavengerHuntNight #hashtag.  You'll need to bring a whole lot of creativity, wit, and charm to win, and even more if you want to get your hands on some bonus "Phil Points" (not as valuable as the coveted "Josh Points" that Josh D. is known to give out, but still meaningless enough to be worth it).

We'll meet on Friday at Scott St MB Church at 7 PM.

As it will be the day after Halloween and it won't be cool to wear costumes anymore, costumes are optional (but the best costume may get extra "Phil Points"...just sayin').

Wednesday, October 30, 2013

Community Care Food Drive Worship Night

Great job collecting food last night!  Even though we're not collecting on Halloween night like we normally do, there is still a big youth worship night happening at Bethany Community Church on Thursday evening from 8-8:45 PM that we're invited to.  A bunch of the other youth groups participating in the food drive will be there.  It'll be a great way to show off your costume (if you have one) and a night to worship God together with our fellow youth from all over the Niagara Region.

There will be pizza and snacks there, so if you're planning on going can you please email or call me to let me know...that way I can give them a heads up about our numbers.

Youth Bible Study: Community Care Food Drive

Today is the day!  I've been announcing, last week we handed out the empty bags, and today is the day that we collect them!

We'll be meeting at Grantham MB Church at 5 PM for a pizza supper before heading out in our groups to collect the filled up bags of food that will be donated to Community Care.  Make sure you wear shoes that'll be comfy for walking around in.

This is what we're doing tonight instead of our regular Bible Study...loving our neighbours!

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat."

Bible Study


NEMBY!!!

It’s Tuesday and you know what that means...BIBLE STUDY/AWESOME TIME!  That’s right, we have youth tonight.  We’ll be watching the 2nd video in the Youth Alpha program.  I expect that it’ll promote great discussion once again so come on out!

For the sake of our old, limping along video projector, we’re going to *** MEET AT SCOTT ST MB CHURCH *** (339 Scott St) tonight...this will mean that I won’t have to lug the old girl back and forth between churches and will hopefully keep her going for another 10 years.

We meet at 7 PM and go until 9 PM...have your parents ready to come pick you up at 9 PM.

Wednesday, October 02, 2013

GARGON!!!

Well NEMBY, you asked and we listened.  This Friday we'll be meeting 7 PM at Fairview MB Church to play...wait for it...wait for it...GARGON!!!

If you're new to youth and aren't sure what that means, it means we'll have a great night together playing a NEMBY favourite.  You should wear clothes you can run in and don't mind getting sweaty and wear proper running shoes.  And I'm not kidding about the shoes...you won't actually be allowed to play unless you're wearing shoes that lace up (or I suppose velcro up) and have a proper sole that will let you run without sliding around.

See you Friday!

Tuesday, October 01, 2013

Giant Games & Student Leader Initiation

After a 2 week hiatus, I'm happy to announce that this Friday we're back and ready to start up a new year of NEMBY!!!

We'll be meeting at Fairview MB Church, this Friday, at 7 PM for a night of fun!  Although we're just starting out with a new year of youth and it might feel a bit uncomfortable as we get to know each other, trust me, by the end of this year we will feel like a huge, happy family.  To get that family feel started we're going to be playing some family favourite, classic games...but since this is NEMBY there'll be a twist.  These games aren't going to be normal sized...they are going to be GIANT sized and the entire gym will be our table-top.  You'll also be meeting your 2013/2014 NEMBY student leaders this Friday.

See you on Friday!

Sorry for not posting info sooner...I've was on vacation this week and just got home from the cottage.

Things to bring: swimsuit (girls, bring a dark tank top to wear over your bikini), towel, warm clothes for when the sun goes down, a lawn chair and/or a blanket for the movie.

We can't start the movie until the sun goes down which means that tonight will be a later night.  If you want to stay for the movie then have your parents ready to come pick you up at around 11ish...you can call or text them once we're starting the movie to tell them a definite time.

See you tonight!

Have your parents pick you up from her house no later than 10pm.

Hang out at Port

Did anyone else feel like there was something missing last night?  I'm not used to having Tuesday nights free :)

Anyhow...here are the details for youth this Friday.  We're going to be hanging out at Port Dalhousie!!! We'll meet at 7pm AT the carousel.  If you want to ride the carousel then bring 5 cents, if you want ice cream or candy then bring money for that, if you want to play frisbee on the beach then bring a disc...basically we're doing whatever we feel like doing at Port.

I recommend bringing bug spray & a sweater.  Once we're finished hanging out at Port, we'll likely go to McDonald's or something so let your parents know you'll text or call them to let them know where to pick you up (if you don't have a cell phone you can use mine).

Also, our graduating junior youth are invited to come out this week so make sure to give them a warm NEMBY welcome!

YAY FOR HANGING OUT!!! AND YAY FOR SUMMER!!!

To celebrate summer (and the end of our weekly bible study) we're going to have a picnic!  We'll meet at 6:00 pm at Russell Ave Park (108 Russell Ave).  The weather outside is a bit gloomy today and the forecast is calling for thunderstorms all day.  I've looked at the weather radar and it looks like we'll be okay at 6 pm, but if it's looking sketchy at around 5:30 pm then give me a call to see if we're bringing the picnic indoors.

Oh, and it's a picnic so DO NOT EAT SUPPER AT HOME!  There'll be tons of food.

NEMBY's Iron Chef

Put your cooking skills to the test in NEMBY's first ever Iron Chef competition. Teams of 4 will go head to head to try to make the best dish possible, as determined by the judges. The catch is that there is a secret ingredient that teams will need to incorporate into their dish.

We'll provide the secret ingredient and a few pantry staples (flour, butter, sugar, salt, and oil) and then game on! Your team will come up with a recipe, head across the street to the grocery store for your ingredients, and then make your culinary magic happen.

What you need to bring is:
* $5 to contribute to your teams grocery bill
* clothes you don't mind cooking in (bring an apron if you're worried)

You can talk to your friends and make up your team of 4 ahead of time if you want, but feel free to show up without a team...we'll make sure you all find groups (we're all family at NEMBY).

We will meet at Scott St. MB Church on Friday at 7 pm.


Who will be the next Iron Chef...or perhaps I should say, who will be the first Iron Chef?


Thursday, April 25, 2013

Friday you'll be meeting at Fairview MB at 7 pm to hang out and work on your cub cars.  If you're making one and have it at home then bring it along to work on it, if you handed it in to get cut out and haven't gotten it back then you'll get it at youth, and if you aren't even making one then no worries come on out and hang out with everyone.  We'll have some basic supplies there (sandpaper :) but if you've got some stuff at home then bring it along.

If you've got any questions then give Mark a call or send him a message.  Have a great week!

The Importance of Being Earnest


This Friday we are going to be seeing our very own Lucas Froese as Jack Worthing in Eden's performance of The Importance of Being Earnest!!!  We'll meet at Eden High School (535 Lake St) at 7 pm.  Here's the list of people I've got tickets for.  I just called to confirm numbers and unfortunately they are sold out for Friday's show so unless your name is on the list you won't be able to get a ticket.

Brianne B.
Amy B.
Nigel D.
Taylor D.
Chantal G.
Victoria G.
Lucas H.
Ryan H.
Cam K.
Darren K.
Carmen M.
Enya M.
Nigel M.
Janelle S.
Mike S.
Emma T.

If you're in high school then the cost of your ticket is $8.  If you are no longer in high school then the cost of your ticket is $10.  We will each pay for our own tickets when we get there so don't worry about getting money to me even about having correct change...they told me they'd have loads of toonies to break bills.  I'm sure that there will be snacks & drinks available for a cost during the intermission, if you think you'll want to purchase some then bring money along for it.

See you Friday and Lucas, break a leg...not really, but you know what I mean :)

Easter Stuff

NEMBY!!! Easter weekend is almost here!!! Here's all the info you need to make sure you don't miss out on any of our Easter activities. 

Friday morning at 10:30 am we'll be meeting at Grantham MB Church for a Good Friday service. This is together with all 3 of our churches so it's going to be a more formal church service (not a youth only event). If you're planning on coming then please be on time...in fact, come at 10:25 am so that you have time to take your coat off, chat a bit, and find a seat before the service starts. Invite your family if you like. And don't worry if you don't normally come to one of our 3 churches and are nervous about who you're going to sit with and whatnot, look for me and we can all sit together. You don't need to dress super fancy for this, but I'd recommend something a bit nicer than your jeans & hoodie...I usually wear jeans & a nice shirt. If you don't have a family thing to go to after the service then who ever wants to can come out for lunch, bring $ for that if you want to come.

Sunday morning at 6:45 am we'll be meeting at Lock 1 on the canal for our annual sunrise service. This will be a time to be together, read scripture, sing songs of praise to God, and reflecting on what we're actually celebrating on Easter morning...Christ beating death for us all and making a way for us to be in relationship with God!!! I know it's early (although it really isn't that early this year), but there really is something great about watching the sunrise on Easter morning. Sam & Nigel will be leading the singing for us. Again, anyone who wants to, we'll be going out for breakfast afterward so bring some $ for that.

Worship Night


NEMBY!!!

Tomorrow is Friday!  That means that we have youth tomorrow!!!  Tomorrow night we're going to be meeting at 7:00 pm at Grantham MB for our monthly worship night.  We've been praying for loads of people over the past month who have been in other countries serving God and tomorrow night we're going to hear about some of their experiences.  It's going to be great!

See you tomorrow and remember to keep praying for Mark and Josh who are currently in Guatemala.  And remember to sign up if you want to make a car for the cub car race.  Although I had wanted to order the stuff today, not very many people have signed up yet so I'm going to make the deadline to let me know today.  If you have not signed up for one by tonight then it'll be too late!

The Bible: part 2


NEMBY!!!

It's Tuesday and that means that we've got Bible Study/Awesome Time tonight!!!  We're going to be meeting at Bobby's house (15 Cabot Dr.) at 7 pm for Episode 2 of The Bible.  If you know someone in youth who isn't great at checking info can you please let him or her know about the different location?  Also, because the show is 1.5 hrs (because we get to skip commercials) please plan on coming for 7 because we won't take as long to chat as we normally do before starting so we can make sure to have time for prayer after it finishes and still be ready to head home for 9 pm.

See you tonight!

Night of Encouragement


Listen up NEMBY!  

This Friday is our monthly worship night, but we’re going to do something a bit different for it.  Since September we’ve gotten pretty close...we’ve had tons of fun, shared life, prayed for each other, learned about God and we’ve done all of this together.  When I look around the room on a Tuesday or Friday night I see a group of people who are each unique and different from the rest but who together make up something amazing.  Each of you...that’s right even YOU...help make NEMBY what it is.  You might be thinking, “She can’t possibly be talking about me right now.  I mean, I’m not even sure if anyone even notices me.” or “I’m just me. I don’t bring anything special to the group.”  Trust me, I’m even talking about you!  When I say that it takes each person to make us who we are, I really, 100%, truly mean that it takes EACH PERSON to make us who we are.  This Friday we’re going to share & celebrate the great things we see in each other.

We’re going to meet at Grantham MB Church at 7 pm.

Tuesday, February 19, 2013

Bible Study

We'll be meeting at Fairview MB Church for bible study tonight at 7 pm.  We'll be looking at Mark 6:14-44 so if you've got a chance then take a look at the passage.

Remember that bible study is for EVERYONE so I'll see you tonight!

Pancake Tuesday & Bible Study

NEMBY!!!

Today is Pancake Tuesday...maybe you know what that means and maybe you don't, but if you want to join me for some pancakes then meet me at Scott St MB Church at 6 pm tonight for a pancake supper...I've never made crepes before but I'm going to give it a shot and I'll have some extra yummy pancake toppings for you to enjoy!

If you're having pancakes for supper with your family then that's great! Enjoy supper with your family and meet us at Scott St at 7 pm for Bible Study/Awesome Time.  We're going to be talking about the chapel sessions from the retreat and about Easter season beginning, so even if you've never come out before come on out tonight!  Bible Study is for EVERYONE!

See you tonight!

One more update...

Because it has been snowing ALL DAY & is still coming down hard we're no longer going to be meeting at Scott St MB tonight.  I'm sure your parents will thank me for making this call & I really do want to make sure everyone stays safe.  I'll see you bright and early at Southridge Vineland at 6:30 am tomorrow.

Here's the deal...

Okay NEMBY! Here's the deal. The bus company said we can't go up tonight :( Definitely not ideal news, but I'm glad that they're concerned for our safety and I'd rather get there safely tomorrow then risk injury or death tonight. So, the plan is that we'll meet at Scott St. MB tonight at 7:30 pm for our first chapel session. There'll be singing, the speaker, and all the amazing people we're going to camp with. Then we'll all go home tonight and tomorrow morning we'll meet at Southridge Vineland at 6:30 am and from there the retreat will proceed as planned. Again, I acknowledge that this isn't ideal and it kind of sucks, but trust me, we'll still have an AMAZING WEEKEND!!!

Thursday, February 07, 2013

In case you're wondering...

NEMBY, in case you're wondering about the forecasted snow storm tomorrow and whether or not that'll effect our retreat...I've talked to the bus company and even if they cancel buses in the morning, they're going to re-evaluate the road situation for us in the afternoon to see if we can still go up to Camp as scheduled.  I'm hoping that even if the roads are bad in the morning that they'll be fine/under control by the evening.  If not, we've got some snow plans in the works. I'll keep you posted and if things look questionable in the morning then don't panic, I'll let you know what's going on in the early afternoon.  We'll have to play this by ear a bit see what the weather does tomorrow...It's all part of the adventure!  Also, pass this info on to your parents so that they don't all call me about it tomorrow.

See you tonight!
