Gas Money

When I told you about the progressive dinner I forgot to ask everyone to bring $2 to give to your driver. When you don't drive your own car, it's easy to forget that gas costs $ and easy to take a ride home for granted, so I'm asking everyone to bring $ for their driver tomorrow because we're going to be driving for a portion of the youth event, but think about slipping the person who drives you home after youth a few $ every once in a while...we don't mind driving you home, but we also appreciate help in covering the cost.

Progressive Dinner...

You’d better be hungry when you come to youth this Friday because we’re having a progressive dinner. Basically that means that we’ll be having dinner together, but there’s a twist, each course will be at a different house and the courses might not be in the usual order.

We’ll be meeting at the church at 6:30 and then we’ll head out for supper. DO NOT EAT SUPPER BEFORE YOU COME!!! Trust me, you’ll regret it if you do!

Next week we're going to an Ice Dogs game (they're playing Sarnia).  Tickets are $14 and if you want to go then I'll need the money by Sunday.  Let me know if you're planning on coming as soon as you can so that I can get a good estimate of how many people want to come.  Please bring me correct change because I won't have change to break a bunch of $20s.  

See you on Friday!

Bible Study...

It's been a while since we've had regular Bible study.  It's going to be on Tuesday at 7:00 pm at my house.  

An exciting day!!!

This Sunday is going to be an exciting day...5 members of SSMBY are getting baptized!!!  2 are also becoming members of our church!!!  So, even if you don't come to Scott St. MB Church regularly on Sunday mornings come this Sunday if you can!  The service starts at 10:45 am and we're going to have a lunch after the service, so plan on staying for it.

Gargon

There’s been a slight change in our schedule. The progressive dinner is going to be next week and tomorrow we’re going to be playing Gargon! Now, I’ve never played this game before, but I hear that it’s pretty intense.

We’ll meet at the church at the regular time (7:00 pm) and you will have to eat supper before coming. Pass this info on to every SSMBY member you see.

See you tomorrow!

Volunteering at Salvation Army...

We're going to be volunteering at the Salvation Army again tonight.  I'm not entirely sure what we'll be doing, but I think we're going to help them organize the warehouse we cleaned last time, so wear warm clothes and come ready to do some work!  We'll be meeting at the church at 7:00 and then heading over there...if you know you're going to be late then let me know so I can tell you where to meet us.  

See you tonight!

Wear clothes you won't mind getting paint on!  I just talked to Caroline and we're going to be painting.  Pass this message on to anyone you know is coming!!!

Coffee House

This Friday is going to be a great night of good drinks, good talent and good fun. We will be providing the drinks and snack, but you’re going to have to provide that talent and fun. There is going to be an open-mic time and you have the opportunity to show us what you’ve got! This doesn’t mean that I’m asking people to come sing…although, if you sing then that’s great and I’d love for you to sing, but you could really do anything you want…sing, play an instrument, do a dance number, do a skit, rap/beatbox, read something you’ve written, do a humorous monologue…really it could be anything! So, start thinking about what you can do and get ready to enjoy the talents of SSMBY and Gateway.

We’ve invited Gateway youth to join us, so make sure that you actually welcome them to our youth and make an effort to get to know them and mingle with them. Let’s show them that we care!

Also, make sure that you bring some change along* because the drinks and snacks are going to cost 25-50 cents and they are going to be good, so you’ll want to make sure you get some! If we end up making money on this then the extra money will go to supporting our MCC Global Family Project.

See you tomorrow!

* Please bring change or small bills rather than $20 bills…I will not have enough $ to break a bunch of $20s

Come over for supper...

Bible study, Tuesday at 7:00...I hope that's ingrained into your head by now, but this week I'm inviting everyone over for supper before Bible study. So, this Tuesday you're invited to come over at 6:00 for supper and then we'll be having Bible study after we eat.

See you then!

SSMBY + seniors + games = AWESOME!!!!

This Friday is our first ever games night with seniors!  We've invited people from our church who are 60+ to join us for a games night and they're going to be bringing some of their favourites, so get ready for some rousing rounds of 11-heraus, skipbo, dominoes and crokinole...don't worry, I don't know how to play some of those either.  It's going to be a great opportunity for us to get to know some of the older people in our church and have fun while we're at it.

We (the members of SSMBY) are going to be meeting at the church at 7:00 pm to set up the gym for the night and for some quick announcements and then the seniors will be joining us at 7:30.  Feel free to invite your grandparents (even if they don't go to Scott St.).

Oh, and we're hoping to have some squares and cookies to serve throughout the night, so let me know if you can bring something.

Girl/Guy Bible Study

It's the first Tuesday of the month and we all know what that means...it's girl/guy Bible study night!!!  So, Mark will be meeting all the guys at the church tonight at 7:00 and I'll be meeting all the girls at my house at 7:00.
