Bible Study

NEMBY!!!

READ THIS MESSAGE and PLAN ON COMING!

Tonight for Bible study we're going to be doing something different.  Remember how on Friday I talked about how God calls us to love him with everything we've got and to love our neighbours as ourself?  How we naturally and instinctively love ourselves and how we need to get over ourselves and our narcissistic tendencies and start noticing the needs of others and be willing to help meet those needs just like we meet our own needs?

READ THE INFO...
Tonight we'll meet at Scott St MB Church at 6:30pm and then we'll be going downtown to Mahtay Cafe where the St. Catharines Standard is hosting a panel discussion on poverty in our city.

I HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE and I'm really praying that God would open our eyes to the needs around us.

Worship Night

NEMBY!!!

This Friday is our monthly worship night!  We'll meet at Fairview MB at 7pm for a night of singing praise to God and learning how to know and love Him better.

Mark 12:30-31 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength...and love your neighbour as yourself."  How do we actually do this when we live in a culture that is self-centered and tells us that the best thing we can do is learn to love ourselves?  How can we get over ourselves in order to love God and love others the way God calls us to?

Bible Study

NEMBY!!!

Just a reminder that it's Tuesday today...this means that we'll be meeting at Scott St MB Church at 7pm for weekly Bible Study.

What's that?  You've never come to our weekly Bible Study before?  It may not have a flashy name, but don't be fooled!  It's a great time to come out, share our lives with each other, pray for each other, and explore and talk about who God is and how we can know that he exists.

YOU SHOULD COME!  I hope to see you there!

Easter Stuff

NEMBY!!!

This weekend is Easter weekend!!!  This means that there is NO REGULAR YOUTH THIS FRIDAY NIGHT, however, there are a few GREAT SERVICES that I want to make sure you know about so you can join us in celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ.

On Friday you have 2 choices for a Good Friday service.

Fairview MB Church at 10:30am

or

Scott St MB Church at 10:30am (this is a joint service with Grantham MB)

Easter Sunday we’ll be meeting for our annual SUNRISE SERVICE.  We’ll be meeting at Jones Beach (142 Broadway, St Catharines) at 7:30am for a time of reflection, singing, and communion.  Nigel & Sam will be leading the singing.  Even though this is early I really want to encourage you to come out and celebrate Easter together with us. 

Finally, feel free to come out to any of our 3 churches at 10:30am on Sunday for an Easter Sunday service.

Hopefully I’ll see you at one of these services, but if not, HAPPY EASTER!

Worship Night

NEMBY!!!

Another month is coming to a close and that means that THIS FRIDAY is our monthly WORSHIP NIGHT!  We'll meet at FAIRVIEW MB CHURCH AT 7 PM for a night of singing songs of praise to God and talking about how we can worship God with our lives...sharing his love with the world around us. Included in this will be stories from Sean Fast & Emily Bowman about some cool things that God has been doing in their lives recently and...drumroll please...some more info on a great week-long service opportunity in Toronto that YOU have the opportunity to participate in this summer!

Man, this is going to be a great night! I hope to see you there!

Bible Study

"Can we prove the existence of God, or are we left to grapple in the dark and take blind leaps of faith about what we believe?"

At Bible Study a few weeks ago I asked people to answer a few questions in order to help me focus Bible Study for the rest of the year in a way that actually helps answer and address questions that you guys have.  One topic that came up a few times in the questions was whether or not God is real and if he is real then how can we know that he exists. 

If you've ever asked yourself these questions then you should come to Scott St MB at 7 pm tonight.  We'll be starting a video series that will challenge you to think about what what you believe and why, giving you a solid framework for developing your thoughts.

We're meeting at Scott St MB Church at 7 pm, see you there!

Bible Study

Some EXTRA AWESOME NEWS to get your spirits high again is that THIS FRIDAY IS OUR ANNUAL MARCH BREAK MOVIE MARATHON!!!  We'll be meeting at FAIRVIEW MB CHURCH at 4PM to get this cinematic experience going!

We've got a great line-up of movies planned.  In the past we've done some pretty amazing marathons (Back to The Future, Toy Story, Kung-Fu, Superhero) so I'm sure that the question on everyone's mind is, "What kind of movies will we be watching this year?!"  Well, dust off your tiaras because this year we're going to be watching PRINCESS MOVIES!!!  And don't even dare to think that if you're a guy you won't enjoy this!  We've picked princess movies that we're confident the whole group will enjoy!

We'll be taking a few gym breaks in between and we'll be ordering pizza for supper.  BRING $2 ALONG FOR PIZZA.

NO YOUTH BIBLE STUDY

Reminder: NO YOUTH BIBLE STUDY TONIGHT!

MAFIA!

This message is brought to you by: Mark D.

___________

All was quiet and cozy in NEMBYville.  Then it became not so quiet and cozy.  Rumors began to spread of an organized crime syndicate having established itself in the shady recesses of this once-peaceful township.  What’s more, it’s believed that the members of this criminal organization are all townspeople themselves! Tension between neighbours is rising and trust between friends is breaking down as each wonders which of his or her fellow citizens are members of this…

MAFIA!

Meet at Scott St MB Church at 7 PM this Friday and we’ll get this all sorted out.

Hopefully…

Pancakes & Bible Study

NEMBY!!!

Not only is today Tuesday, but it's PANCAKE TUESDAY!!! Whether you know what this means or not, your welcome to come join us tonight for a pancake supper.  We'll meet at Scott St MB Church at 6 pm.  Don't eat supper before you come (or make sure to eat just a light supper) because there will be pancakes galore for us to enjoy together.  Then we'll take some time to talk about Easter and think of some ways for us to prepare ourselves for remembering and celebrating Christ's death and resurrection this Easter season.

I hope to see you there!

Worship Night

NEMBY!!!

This Friday is our monthly worship night!  We'll meet at Fairview MB Church at 7pm.  Come ready to worship God and hear from Him!

Also, this Sunday (March 2) our youth worship band will be leading the singing at Fairview MB!!!  Even though only a small number of our group actually attend Fairview regularly, it be AMAZING if a bunch of us were there on Sunday to support our youth band and worship together with the church!  If at all possible, you should come!  The service will start at 10:30am and I hope to see you there!  If you're coming then just look for me and we can all sit together.

Bible Study

NEMBY!!!

It's Tuesday and after a 1-week Bible Study hiatus it's back!!!  We'll be meeting at Scott St MB Church tonight from 7-9pm.  The Youth Alpha course that we were doing is now over, but during that course a topic that came up but wasn't actually looked at was spiritual gifts.  Tonight we're going to take some time to explore what these are and what the Bible has to say about them.  We'll also have our regular sharing & prayer time.

Whether you regularly come out or not, YOU SHOULD COME TONIGHT.  Seriously, I'd love to see you there!

Oklahoma!

NEMBY!!!

Here’s the IMPORTANT INFO you need to know for youth on Friday:

What: Oklahoma! (Laura Secord’s musical)

Where: Laura Secord Secondary School

When: Friday at 6:30 pm

Other info:

• Bring $12 to cover your ticket cost (exact change is preferable because I will not have a bunch of change to break twenty dollar bills)
•  PLEASE BE ON TIME…the show will likely be sold out (and therefore PACKED) so we need to be there early in order to get good seats and because handing out the tickets & collecting money will take some time.
• Finally IF YOU DID NOT CONTACT ME ABOUT GETTING A TICKET THEN I DO NOT HAVE A TICKET FOR YOU.  I only bought tickets for the people who asked me to buy them a ticket.

See you on Friday!  And Joel, Janelle, and Quinn, break a leg (not really but you know what I mean).  We’ll be cheering loudly!

NO BIBLE STUDY

Just a reminder that we DO NOT HAVE BIBLE STUDY TONIGHT.  Instead, your adult leaders & student leaders will be meeting to come up with a great new spring schedule of events!

I hope you have a great night at home!

Awkward Valentines

This message is brought to you by: Phil K.

Are you ready to FALL IN LOVE with a sweeter than chocolate youth event?

I hope so because this Friday is (Awkward) Valentines!!!

We'll meet at Scott St MB Church at 7pm and DO NOT EAT DINNER BEFORE YOU COME because we'll be having a fancy-type banquet, where you can eat to your HEART'S content!  Although don't eat too fast because then you might get delicious food all over your "not-quite-formal-but-still-pretty-slick-looking-outfit".  That's right!  It's also a semi-formal event!  Ties, dresses, bow-ties, vests, belts, shoes!!!  But I don't want to bore you with my extensive knowledge of different articles of semi-formal clothing.

Now, I know what you're all thinking…"Phil, what's so awkward about dressing nice and eating nicer?"  Well, let's just say that Cupid's Arrow of Love might not strike as true as it does in the movies…

See you on Friday!

Winter Retreat!!!!

NEMBY!!!

Our winter retreat is almost here!!!  On Friday we'll be on our way to Camp Crossroads for a great weekend of being together, enjoying winter, and worshiping God!  I hope you signed up, got your forms and money in, and are coming with us!
