Hayride

This week is our annual hayride! What the heck…is it seriously the end of October already!?! I guess so.

We’ll be joining Cornerstone, Grantham, Orchard Park and Vineland for a time of worship singing, a speaker and then the hayride!

Here are the details:
Meeting at Scott St. at 7:00 pm – BE ON TIME because we won’t be waiting around for long
Bring $2
Dress appropriately…as in warm
We are not going to a house after because we’ll be covered in hay and who wants hay all over their house, so if you want to hang out afterwards then it’ll have to be at Tim Hortons or Wendy’s or something.

NO BIBLE STUDY TONIGHT

Hey Guys,

Unfortunately I'm still sick, so I'm cancelling Bible study for tonight...the flu sucks and I would hate for any of you to get it from me.

Hopefully I'll see you on Friday.

Fall Lounge Night

Tonight is our Fall lounge night...a.k.a. pumkin carving!! It's hard to believe that it's already time to do that, eh. We're meeting at the church at 7:00 pm, so be there! I unfortunately will not be there because I'll be hanging out with the junior youth tonight...seriously, it feels like forever since I've seen some of you, but have fun!

Stuff for this week and next

Are you ready to tap into your creative side and try your hand at screen writing, directing, and acting? I sure hope so, because this Friday you're in for a night of ridiculous fun and it's going to be AWESOME!!! You'll be meeting at the church at the regular time...7:00 pm and you may notice that some familiar faces are missing - the adult and student leaders will be up at Camp Crossroads for the annual Youth Leadership Retreat, but our very own Jordan Duerrstein and Tim Goertzen will be back to lead you in a night of movie-making fun!

SUNDAY SCHOOL is canceled for this Sunday...and by that I just mean that I won't actually be there, since I'll still be at Camp. However, if you're going to be at the church during that time anyhow then feel free to go into the kitchen and help yourself to breakfast. I'm pretty sure that you all know where the breakfast stuff is...cereal in the youth cupboard, milk in the fridge, etc. Just make sure to clean up after yourselves.

BIBLE STUDY NEXT WEEK will be at 2A Water St instead of at my house and Mark will be leading it, so meet him at his house at 7:00 pm next Tuesday to see what happens next in the Gospel of Luke.

13th Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner

This Friday is SSMBY's 13th annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner. Thanksgiving weekend is typically a time for people to spend with their friends and family, but the reality is that not everyone has friends and family, so this is a night that we spend serving our community by providing food for the hungry and a place of belonging for those who may not have it elsewhere. Last year we cooked and served Thanksgiving dinner for over 130 people! That's pretty huge and it takes all of us chipping in to make it work. This is no regular youth night, so come to the church at 3:30.

It's going to be a lot of work...for goodness sake, we're cooking and serving a huge dinner for over 100 people...but since we'll be doing it together, it's sure to be a blast!

Please be on time and be ready to help. Wear dark pants (preferably black) and light tops (preferably white) because we will need most of you to help serve the food. Let me know if you've got any questions.

BE ON TIME - 7:00 pm!!!

Man, I am behind on this, but if you read this tonight then please call or text all your SSMBY friends and remind them that it is ESSENTIAL that you are all here BY 7:00 pm. NO STRAGGLING IN LATE!

Fairview MB is joining us tonight...for the first time ever and it's important for us to give them a SSMBY welcome.

We'll spend half an hour with them (7-7:30) and then we'll all head to the sanctuary for Harvest Missions Fest! Yay for Harvest Missions Fest!

Anyhow, if you read this any time before 6:50 then text everyone who goes to SSMBY and tell them to BE ON TIME!
