St. John's Youth Email Update Vol 93

Grace and peace, my friends! Many apologies if this is the second time you have received the update from me. I sent this out earlier today, and it has not appeared in my inbox or another mailbox I send it to to have it backed up for future reference. So, here it is again.

Thank you so much for all your help at Harvest Eve. It was very well attended, even despite the nasty weather. It seems that everyone had a great time as well. Thank you for all your hard work in cooking, serving, setting up, and everything else. You are so greatly appreciated! I should have pics of the event up by tomorrow.

Sr. High Sunday School...please come this Sunday to write notes and put together care packages for our college freshmen. In fact, all youth on Sunday will have a chance to contribute. Also, come learn all about the Advent Conspiracy.

See you then!!

St. John's EYC Web Albums


SURF REPORT

-> Downhere: a very cool alternative pop rockish type group. They are a bunch of fun. They have a new Christmas album (and I am, admittedly, a sucker for some good Christmas music), and you can check out tracks on their site.

-> Hawk Nelson: they are a fun pop punk rawk type band. Lots of energy and very fun. They have a new album, and if you happen to have a pair of 3D glasses lying around, you can check out their myspace page in 3D. Pretty cool.


FORGETTABLE FACT

Praise God even when you don't understand what He is doing.

If you want to change your life, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily.
