Bible Study/Phase 1 of Trick or Eat!!!
Tonight is Youth Bible Study!!! All of you are invited to come every week, but whether you come or not, I particularly want to encourage you to come tonight because tonight is Phase 1 of our Community Care Trick or Eat event that is happening on Halloween. We're going to meet at Grantham MB Church (469 Grantham Ave.) at 7:00 pm and we're going to be handing out the food bags that we will then collect on Monday night. Don't worry, you won't have to talk to anyone, but there will be walking involved, so please wear comfortable shoes and weather appropriate clothing. You can get community service hours for this, but regardless the more of us there are the quicker we'll be finished so PLEASE COME OUT! Also, if you have not yet let me know if you can come on Monday, please go the group event and let me know so I know how much pizza to order :)

Hey NEMBY!
Tomorrow night is our October worship night!! We're going to be meeting at Grantham MB at 7 pm. There is going to be a time for singing and dancing and all that fun stuff! Afterwards we'll be having a time of sharing what God's done if your life recently or just what you've been up to. Also, Thanksgiving is this weekend so maybe think about a few things you're thankful for in your life.
Love, your youth co-op student, Sam

Girl & Guy Sleepovers
Here are the details for youth this week:
We are going to be having sleepovers!!! Now, I know that the guys always think that their sleepover is way better than the girls’ sleepover, but that's the beauty of the separate girl & guy sleepovers. The girls love doing what we do at our sleepover & the guys love doing what they do at theirs. Brilliant!
GUYS
You will be meeting at 7:00 pm AT Josh's parents' house (1515 5th Street). You need to bring your sleeping stuff (it is a sleepover after all), a frisbee, some meat to grill for midnight meat, and some money for breakfast (you will meet up with the girls for breakfast on Saturday). You can let your parents know that we'll be finished between 10-10:30 on Saturday morning.
LADIES
We will be meeting at 7:00 pm AT my parents’ house (1178 Concession 6). You need to bring your sleeping stuff, $7 for go-carting (weather permitting), swimsuits (bring a dark tank top to wear over bikinis) & towels, money for breakfast (we will meet up with the guys for breakfast on Saturday). You can let your parents know that we’ll be finished between 10-10:30 on Saturday morning. Since we’ll hopefully be leaving to go go-carting, please be on time and let me know if you know you’ll be late so you can either meet us there or we know to wait for you.

Ultimate Ultimate!!!
We're going to meet at 7 pm at Grantham MB (469 Grantham Ave.) tonight. We're going to be playing Night Ultimate a.k.a. Ultimate Ultimate!!! It will include night time, glow in the dark, and ultimate and it'll be the best! These are the things you need to bring: a flashlight, running shoes, weather appropriate clothing that you can run in.
Unfortunately there is an 80% chance of rain tonight, so if it rains then we can decide if we're still going to play Utimate Ultimate (perhaps this would add another "Ultimate" to the name...) or we can play some awesome youth room games (Kings Bowl, 4 on a couch, etc.). Either way, it'll be a blast!
See you tonight!!!

Worship Night
Wow, I've missed you guys! Here's the deal for Friday... We're having an end of the year worship night. We'll be meeting at 7 pm at Grantham MB (469 Grantham Ave.). It'll be a night of singing and sharing. A bunch of people are finally home from their summer adventures and some of them will be sharing what they've done and what God has taught them. There will also be an open time of sharing during which you can share what God has taught you this summer (think about it...) It's going to be a great way to end the summer! See you there.

BBQ & Potluck
Youth this Friday!!! We’re going to have a BBQ & Potluck! Woo hoo! We’re going to meet at my parents’ house (1178 Concession 6, Niagara-on-the-Lake) at 7 pm. They have a pool, so bring a swimsuit & towel if you want to swim (girls, remember to bring a dark tank top to wear over bikinis). They also have a huge yard so we’ll also have Frisbees, soccer balls, bocce ball, etc. available to play & a bonfire once the sun goes down. And make sure you bring a sweater & bug spray along just in case.
Notice that it’s a POTLUCK. That means that you should NOT eat supper on Friday and everyone has to bring a food dish to share with the group. I will provide the burgers & toppings, but here’s a list of suggestions of what you can bring:
• Veggie Tray
• Fruit Tray
• Potato Salad
• Pasta Salad
• Broccoli Salad
• Green Salad
• Chips
• Watermelon
• Cup cakes
• Brownies
• Squares
• Cookies
This is just a list of suggestions, if you have a favourite BBQ dish that is not on this list then feel free to bring it. Also, please make sure that you think about this and talk to your mom about it asap and make sure you help her make whatever you’re bringing…you’re mom will be super stressed if you spring this on her on Friday, so PLEASE LEAVE WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND GO TALK TO YOUR MOM RIGHT NOW!

Final Canoe Trip Details
Here are some final reminders and packing tips for the trip tomorrow!!! I was talking to Ben (our canoe trip guide) last night and he reminded me that we can bring ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD along in our bags. I know that people usually bring snacks and whatnot, but when you’re camping in the actual wilderness (yeah, that’s right, we’re hardcore) all food needs to be safely and properly stored so that animals don’t come digging around in our tents…no joke. Please do not pack food in your bag. Even things like toothpaste and any toiletries need to be packed into a food safe container because they attract animals, so I’m actually going to bring one tube of toothpaste, some sunscreen, and bug spray that we can all use…that way we don’t have 15 of each to store in the food safe container every night. So don’t worry about packing those 3 items. This is mostly for the girls, but please do not pack body spray or perfume, makeup, hair products, even deodorant is discouraged (but if you really feel like you need it then bring it and we’ll store it). We’ll be hardcore and stinky together ☺.
On a more positive note, we’re going to be camping about 5 minutes from some awesome jumping cliffs, we’ll be able to fish, swim, and hang out ALL WEEKEND!!!
The meeting time is 7 am tomorrow morning, but please try to come at least 5 minutes before that so we can pack up and head out as quick as possible. I know it’s early, but at least you get to sleep the whole way to camp. We’ll be meeting at Fairview MB Church. And remember your permission forms & money!!! You seriously will not be allowed to come without them…no joke!
See you tomorrow!
