Easter Stuff

We'll be meeting at Fairview MB Church at 7:00 pm for some classic Easter celebrations. Easter!? What the?! Isn't Easter over already? The answer to that, my friend, is yes, but in classic NEMBY style, we waited until the holiday passed to celebrate. There will be eggs, there will be chocolate, the Easter bunny might even make an appearance. Seriously, you do not want to miss this!

See you at 7.

Bible Study

Hey,

So for bible study tonight we will be meeting at Fairview at 7:00. We will be continuing our series called Crazy Love, by Francis Chan. We will be looking at the third chapter of the book. We always have some good discussions going on at bible study, so if you want to come and discuss with us, please feel free to come tonight. It doesn't matter if its your first time coming, you're always welcome.

See you tonight!

Love, Colin

Easter Weekend

So, this weekend is a big one...EASTER!!! It means that you guys have a crazy long weekend and that there are a ton of church things! Here's an outline of all the Easter goodness that you can come to.

1. Good Friday Service: 10:45 am on Friday at Fairview MB Church...it's going to be all 3 of churches coming together for a service...let's see if our churches can come together as well as we have.

2. Sunrise Service: 6:00 am on Sunday at the Welland Canal Lock 1. I realize that this is CRAZY EARLY and I've got kind of a love/hate relationship with the Sunrise Service because it's so early, but I'm always glad that I go because there's something amazing about seeing the sunrise and thinking about the reality of what we're celebrating on Easter morning. I know you probably don't want to come to this, but I'm really going to encourage you to do it! Mark will be leading some singing, we'll read some scripture and I'll be doing a short Easter devo. It's going to be good AND WE'RE GOING OUT FOR BREAKFAST AFTER. Bring some money along for breakfast.

Okay, I think that's it, but let me know if you've got any questions. And SERIOUSLY, COME TO THE SUNRISE SERVICE!!! Remember that you can sleep in on Friday, Saturday, and Monday, so really, what's the big deal about getting up early on Sunday?

Bible Study

Bible Study. Tonight. 7 pm. Fairview MB Church.

We're going to be talking about Easter, sharing about our lives, and praying for each other. It's going to be good.

Murder Mystery...

Sup NEMBY!

There has been a murder in Nembyshire! The king has been killed!
The funeral will be taking place at Scott St. church at 7:00 tonight and the queen would greatly appreciate you're attendance at her husbands funeral.

Please come and show your respect please!

Don't forget that we're meeting at Scott St. NOT FAIRVIEW.

Bible Study Tonight/Election Debates

Yo!

So tonight we will be meeting at Sabrina's house to watch the Election Debates! I know it sounds lame, but we both think its really important to know what is going on in the country and to think about what sort of issues that we can see and try to talk about different ways in which we can help resolves these issues.

i know politics are lame but it really is an important thing to think about, even if you're not old enough to vote right now, its still good to think about issues and all that jazz.

So Sabrina's address is: 169 Lake St. The debates start at 7, so if you want to come a bit earlier thats cool. There will be snacks.

Love, Colin

Swimming at Brock

We're going swimming tomorrow!!! We'll be meeting at Fairview at 7:00 pm and then heading to Brock. Swimming will cost $4.75 per person so please be sure to bring your money. Girls please make sure to either wear a one-piece or bring a dark tank top to wear over your bikini.

Also, if you're thinking of coming on Mission360 this year then please email me or talk to me on Friday...that way we can start talking about fundraising and whatnot.

Youth Retreat!!!

Tomorrow is the start of our youth retreat!!! Here's the thing though, I'm not sure if you've looked at the weather forecast but we're supposed to get loads of snow tomorrow. Not really bad news, BUT if it's a snow day and they cancel the buses then we won't be able to leave tomorrow! I doubt that you've ever done this before but please pray that tomorrow is NOT a snow day.

I'm going to assume that the buses will not be canceled. If everything goes according to plan, we will be meeting at Fairview MB Church at 4:45 pm tomorrow. Please bring all your stuff along (see the list packing list below).

We will be stopping at a service centre on the way for supper, so bring some $ along for that. Let your parents know that we are hoping to be back in St. Catharines at around 4:00 pm. You'll be able to give them a call once we're back...that way they don't need to wait around if we end up being late.

What to Bring:
• Sleeping bag, pillow
• Warm clothing
• Towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, etc.
• Winter boots, warm jacket, snow pants, gloves, scarf, toque
• Flashlight
• Bible, notebook, pen

If it does end up being a snow day and the buses are canceled then I'll send a message with the new information.

See you tomorrow!!!

Birthday Party

We're having a birthday party for Ruthie tonight!!!! Whether you usually come to Bible study or not, you're invited to join us to celebrate Ruthie's birthday. We'll be meeting at Fairview at 7:00 pm. It's a surprise party so please don't be late or you might ruin the surprise.

Winter Retreat Info...

Woo hoo!!! The winter retreat is next weekend!!!

Here's a bit of info for it:
We'll be meeting at Fairview MB Church next Friday at 4:45 pm. There will be a bus waiting for us, so we'll load her up and our weekend adventure will begin! We will be making a bathroom/supper stop on the way so bring some money along for that.

The weekend will be filled with outdoor fun (sledding!), relaxing, being together, and worshiping God. Mark & I will be leading our sessions and Sam Willems will be leading the singing portion of our worship times. It is going to be a great weekend!

We will be leaving to come home again at noon on Sunday so we should be back around 4:00ish. Let you parents know that you'll call them once we're back...that way they don't need to wait around for us if we're a bit late.

If you have not signed up for the retreat and you're seeing the error of this and really want to come (which is understandable because this is going to be great) then let me know, be really nice to me and I'll think about letting you come :) Also, if you haven't gotten your form to me yet then MAKE SURE YOU BRING IT. You will not be allowed on the bus if I don't have your form (and I'm really not joking about this).

Let me know if you've got any other questions about it.

NEMBY goes to Waterloo
