THAILAND!!!

Hello NEMBY! As you know, I'm leaving tomorrow (May 24) for Thailand and I won't be back for 2 weeks. That means that this will not be updated for 2 weeks. If you have any questions about what's going on for NEMBY then check our Facebook group or call Mark Durksen at 905.937.6900. See you when I get back!

No Choir Practice or Awesome Time

Just a quick heads up that there will be NO choir practice tonight. There is a membership meeting at Scott St. MB Church so all of the adult leaders who come out to the choir practices (Mark, Josh, and me) can't make it for a practice. If you normally attend church at Scott St MB then please come out the meeting. It's at Scott St at 7:30 pm...obviously it's not going to be super entertaining & fun, but the church is making some pretty big decisions in the nearish future and this meeting is starting some important conversations. As part of the church it's important to know what's going on and to participate in helping the church be what God intended it to be.

NEMBY goes to Toronto!!!

TORONTO!!! If you signed up for the trip then I'll see you in a few hours (12:30 pm at the bus stop at the back of the Fairview Mall). Make sure you bring your form & money (if you haven't already). Also, make sure you bring warm clothes for tonight...I feel like such a mom writing that, but without fail someone always forgets or just doesn't bring a sweater and they're really cold and we all feel bad for them. Be warned, if you do not bring warm clothes for tonight then I will not feel bad for you :)

NEMBY Choir Practice

Instead of having bible study/awesome time tonight we're going to be dedicating a bit more time to practicing our youth choir songs. We'll be meeting at Fairview MB Church from 7-8:30 for this. It was great to see more people out last week and it would be sweet to see even more tonight! Come on out!

For youth this Friday we'll be spending the evening outside enjoying some Frisbee & Kickball. We'll be meeting at 7 pm at Scott St MB Church and then heading across the street to Lincoln Centennial (if you come late & we're no longer at the church then just meet us at the school). You'll want to make sure to wear proper running shoes and dress appropriately for the weather.

Bible Study & Youth Choir

HELLO NEMBY!!!! Tonight is going to be NEMBY Youth Choir practice #2. That means that we'll be meeting at Fairview MB Church at 6 pm. If you are thinking of being in the choir then PLEASE COME TO FAIRVIEW MB TONIGHT AT 6! 8 of us came out last week and it sounded good (better than any of us thought) but we will need more people to actually make this good. Afterward you're welcome to stay for Bible Study/Awesome Time...you don't have to stay, but it is a pretty awesome time :). That will start at 7 pm at Fairview MB. See you tonight!

Air Bandz

AIR BANDZ. TONIGHT. BE THERE. So tonight @ Scott Street MB at 7pm Darren & Josh will be hosting a most rocking time, wherin you will be providing a most wondrous entertainment. What you need 1. a song 2. maybe some other people 3. the ability to make it apear as though you are performing said song while it is playing! SO bring your music and your friends and costumes are encouraged but not mandatory. And remember to keep it AWESOME because the best performance will get a PRIZE. AIR BANDZ

Bible Study/Youth Choir

Bible Study/Awesome Time is tonight at Fairview MB at 7 pm...HOWEVER, the first NEMBY Youth Choir practice will be at Fairview MB at 6 pm. If you have not yet joined the youth choir, think about it. We have so much musical talent in our youth group and it would be sweet for us to work together for this choir...plus it would be an amazing way for us to bless our 3 churches. I don't have a great voice, but when I sing together with a whole choir of people it sounds amazing! So, come on our for the first practice tonight at 6 pm.

Comedy & Ice Cream

This Friday we'll be having a Comedy & Ice Cream night...yup, that is exactly what it sounds like, we'll be eating ice cream while enjoying the comedic work of someone great. There will also be an opportunity for you to make us laugh, so if you think you're pretty funny then prepare a little something for the open mic portion of the night. We'll laugh, we'll cry (hopefully because we're laughing so hard) and we'll have a great time. We'll meet at Fairview MB on Friday at 7 pm.

Bible Study

Remember that we've got bible study/awesome time tonight at Fairview MB at 7 pm. Everyone is welcome!

Youth Worship Night

We'll be having our monthly worship night this Friday at 7 pm at Grantham MB. Thanks Mark & the youth worship team for helping lead these! See you all this Friday!

Bible Study

Bible Study/Awesome Time is tonight at 7 pm at Fairview. I think we'll be starting our new series so come on out!

Gargon 2.0

NEMBY, take a look at this letter I just got.
-----
Dear NEMBY,


The last time you captured the Gargon it was brought in for testing. As we had thought, the light of an ordinary flashlight had weakened the Gargon to a controllable state. But as the testing went on the effects of the light wore off and the Gargon actually became stronger than it had been before. 

We brought in new elements of light to test on the Gargon and it was discovered that 5 of these new elements would weaken the Gargon permanently. However the five light elements needed to be combined for the Gargon to be recaptured and we had made the discovery too late. The Gargon, with his new strength, had already escaped!

 Gargon 2.0 is on the loose and in new territory. We need YOUR help once again. Please meet us this Friday at SCOTT ST MB CHURCH at 7:00 pm! We will brief you on the Gargon 2.0's new abilities and how you can go about capturing it.


-----
Looks like they need our help. Friday at Scott St MB at 7:00 pm!! Make sure you wear clothes that you can run & sweat in and WEAR PROPER RUNNING SHOES!

Bible Study

Bible Study/Awesome Time is tonight at 7 pm at Fairview. See you there!

Easter Stuff

I'm back!!! I hope you all had a great week. I can't wait to see all of you again! Here's all the info for our Easter events:

Friday at 10:30 am there will be a Good Friday service at Scott St MB Church (339 Scott St). It's a joint service so all 3 of our churches will be there (maybe they're learning from us how good it is to be together). There will be no youth on Friday night because it's Good Friday and a lot of us probably have family get togethers that night.

Sunday at 6:30 am we'll be meeting at Lock 1 on the Welland Canal for our annual Sunrise Service. I know that 6:30 is pretty early, but there's something great about getting up early on Easter Sunday to watch the sunrise and think about what Christ did for us. Mark will be leading some singing, we'll read some scripture, I'll do a short devotional and then we'll head to Perkins for breakfast. It looks like there is a small chance of rain on Sunday, so if it rains then we'll just meet at Perkins at 8:00 am for breakfast...unless it's raining though, we'll be at the canal at 6:30 am. Make sure you wear warm clothes and perhaps bring a blanket along...it gets pretty cold in the morning.

All of our churches also have Easter services happening on Sunday:
Grantham MB Church at 10:45 am
Scott St MB Church at 10:30 am
Fairview MB Church at 10:30 am

See you this weekend!

Youth Worship Night: Montreal Edition

YOUTH THIS FRIDAY!!!! Here's what you need to know. We'll be meeting on Friday at 7 pm at Grantham MB Church for a youth worship night. We'll sing songs of worship to God and the Montreal Mission Team will be sharing about their experience last week. It'll be AMAZING!!! See you there!

NO Awesome Time this week...

Hello NEMBY!!! I hope you all had a great March break. It feels like it's been so long since I've seen all of you...and unfortunately it'll be a bit longer because we won't be having any Awesome Time/Bible Study tomorrow night. Tomorrow night is going to be the last Montreal team meeting, so if you came to Montreal with us then you need to be at Cornerstone tomorrow night at 7 pm.

The good news is that we've got youth on Friday and we'll be meeting at Grantham MB for a worship night. We'll have the chance to worship God together and the Montreal team will be sharing some of their experiences with you...things they did & learned on the trip. It'll be good.

Youth Room Games

Awesome youth room games tomorrow night!!! We'll be meeting at Fairview MB at 7 pm and having a nice, relaxed (well, maybe not so relaxed depending on what games we play) night of games and fun.

No Awesome Time Tonight

Just a reminder that we're not having awesome time tonight. The people going to Montreal next week will be having mission trip prep stuff instead.
