the best-laid plans...

Well, it would seem that the enemy has decided he doesn't like us, and so far has managed to thwart every attempt at planning our next get together. A gazillion and one problems are cropping up all over the place in coordinating our next outing, including (but not limited to) considerations of youth leaders' schedules, Group of Twelve, the Apostles fast and when exactly school gets out. (Can one of the parents please confirm for me when that is?)

So, just to let you know, we are working on coordinating an event for the youth, don't worry, we haven't disappeared. Please, please pray for us as an entity, and for Maria, Dave and myself as the leaders.

end of school

Hey! at the end of june, we are going to go for a short hike in chilliwack and then find a place to have a BBQ (hint hint nudge nudge Jordan's...) to celebrate the end of school and the beginning of summer.

we have a date and a location for the hike, but I want to start spreading the word.

questions

okay.


So, here are a few questions to help us figure out some direction for the next year or so, see what is what.

we generally have events once a month on suday afternoons, which works well because everyone is already together on sundays, and our youth group is so far flung and young that they need to be driven around.

perhaps this works for now and then in a few years when driving is not such a problem we will have more frequent meetings?

When I was young, I went every week on the bus from south vancouver to burnaby, so that will become an option at some point for some, but last I checked a city bus from chilliwack takes two days to get to langley. by the time the Jordan's came on a bus for friday night, it would be sunday liturgy.

So, the first question then is do the parents prefer sunday afternoons? and how do the youth like it?

The other reason it works well is that the youth leaders are all available on sunday afternoons, as we are all in church anyways. friday nights don't always work depending on work schedules.

okay. ready? go. this is a question for anyone, parents, youth, observers etc.

details to come...

Okay folks, soon there will be details for all. In the meantime, if anyone in the youth group who sees this please email me so I can put your email on a list to add as a member to this site. the young bloggers I know of are hannah and luke and avery and jonah, so you guys at least need to send me an email, or your parents do...
enjoy the wind, don't go boating today.
