Christmas Party!

Always with the exclamation points!

So, I think we have called everyone, but just in case you need details,

we are meeting at the church at around 3:00 to have a christmas party, the main event being decorating the tree and putting under the tree the gifts that you are all bringing for children who don't get gifts because they come from poor families.


Jesus teaches us over and over again that we must take care of the poor, so this is just the tiniest step towards learning how to give our lives back to God and give a little bit of our time and money to those that Jesus spent his time with when he was here.

we will also be baking cookies and playing a few games, and then eating dinner together at church before vespers. So, tell your parents to pick you up after vespers at about 8:30, or tell them to come vespers.

peace out folks.

change of plans

Hi Everyone!

Listen, due to the power outage and its aftermath, we are moving the youth movie night to MY HOUSE, in langley, its just off Glover and Eastleigh in langley.

Call me, (David) my number is in the directory, for directions. Basically, you take the freeway to langley, take the 220th street exit, drive south until you cross HWY #10, then turn left onto logan, which is right after the train tracks. its the first street after HWY#10. follow that until Glover Road, turn left on Glover Road,and then turn Right onto Eastleigh Crescent. I live in the apartment buildings labelled 20669, and my apartment is the one after four and before six. I am being cryptic in case some internet address harvester wants to send me lots of junk mail. anyways. come on over, bring the youts, sorry for the late change in plans, but its necessary. my TV is a bit ghetto, but it will do. ok.

see you tonight.

David

Movie Night

well, we have a movie night coming up, yes thats right folks, the YOUTH are going to hang out and deconstruct our culture and its poor attempts at subversive education.






meet us at church at 6:45 on friday November 17th, and bring your intellectual idol smashing hammers, join us for a rousing discussion regarding the unspoken assumptions about whatever movie we happen to pick, (suggestions are welcome, though we have a short list and may or may not listen to them, they are still welcome)


any questions, post them here, phone Magdelen or myself (David), or mull them over until sunday.

awaiting for the great pumpkin...

... or the great post about the great pumpkin...

Sorry about the mixup folks.

So anyhow, in honour of our 1 year anniversary as a youth group, we will be returning to the very site of our first ever youth group outing. On Sunday, Oct 22nd we will be heading out to the Alder Acres pumpkin patch to see the animals (hug the lammas) fight with the hay, and pick out a pumpkin for the upcoming hallowe'en craziness.

We'll be leaving from the church after liturgy at approx. 12:45-1:00 and arriving back at the church around 3:30 or so, possibly 4.

To bring:
A change of clothes, including sensible shoes
Between $5 and $10, for your pumpkin and any treats you might want to buy

See you there!

Deanery Meeting-Sweeeeeet!

Sorry to be a blog-hog, but I've just confirmed we'll be having a very cool book presentation at the upcoming deanery meeting!

That meeting for clergy and laity of the BC deanery parishes is scheduled thus:

Holy Resurrection Church Vancouver
Saturday October 28th
10 am to 3 pm

Guest Speaker: Fr. Michael Gillis, Nativity Antiochian Parish

Besides Fr. Michael's talk, lunch, and deanery business, we will also have a reading from the new Conciliar Press book Keeper of the Light: The Life of Macrina the Elder by the author, All Saints Victoria member Bev Cooke. Fr. Michael's wife Bonnie Gillis, the illustrator of the book, will also be present to take part and answer questions about her work.

This book appeals to youth and adults alike, and so will the reading/q&a session, though I can't say for sure how youth-friendly the rest of the day-long gathering will be. Books will be available for sale and can be signed by the author and illustrator.

The a-MAIZ-ing Maze

So, here's the scoop.

On Sunday the 24th of September (ONE WEEK from this sunday, folks) we will be packing up after lunch hour, around 12:30-ish to head out to the corn maze in Surrey/Cloverdale. There are all manner of nifty attractions to keep us busy there until we head out back to the church, where you parents can collect your youth at 4:00. Click the link below to check out the events and information, or call me or Dave if you have other questions.
We still need one or two more volunteer drivers, so if you're available, please give us a call as well.

What to bring:
Sensible footwear
A sweater/jacket
If you are a girl (or boy) and wearing a skirt to church, you may want to bring a change of clothes that you don't mind running around in and getting dirty.
Sense of adventure. (if you don't have one, Dave will be happy to share his abundance with you.)
