Meteor Shower!

Its time to finally get clean! all the summer dirt will be rinsed off in this event, we are showering in meteors.

not really, but we are going to go to Aldergrove Lake on August 12, meeting at 730 in the evening to take in this celestial event.

The cost will be two dollars per person, which includes something, we're not entirely sure what, but rest assured it will be worth it. There will be large telescopes there to look at the sky with, which will be cool. some games, some food, we will have more details to come. We will provide a snack of some kind, but MAKE SURE to eat dinner before you come.

Bring a blanket to lie down on, and one to cover yourself with when it gets dark and cold.

It will be finished around eleven pm, so plan to pick your youth up after that at the designated drop off spot, whether it is St. Herman's, or a Freeway exit, or whatever we arrange in the coming weeks.

details to come, addenda to come if necessary.

of junkfood and sleepovers

That's our basic plan for July.

Welcome back from camp, kids!! It was a blast, and oh the memories we built.
Maria, Dave and I decided that, after the Lindeman hike, followed by our crazy camp, it might be nice for you all if we did something a bit lower-key.
So, on Monday July 17th (one week from today) we're going to be splitting up the boys and girls and have seperate sleepovers. The boys will be heading over to Dave's for a night of junkfood and video games and general manly fun. The girls will be coming over to Maria's, where we'll engage in all sorts of girly silliness, from movies to nailpolish, and, of course, chocolate. We'll finish off with breakfast the next day. I'm sure Dave will be happy to serve a manly bacon breakfast to you boys, and Maria and I have some yummy ideas as well.

Boys can be dropped off at the church at 7pm, from which point Dave will take them back to his place there in Langley.
For our girls, there are two drop-off points, to better accomodate you parents who have both boys and girls in our youth group.
#1 is at 7pm, at the church, along with the boys. The other, for those of you to whom Surrey is more accessible, is at Maria's house at 7:30. You can call Maria or myself for details on where that is and how to get there. The timing is designed to allow you all to eat dinner with your families before coming and consuming copious amounts of junkfood.

We're going to need you all to RSVP, so that we know which kids are coming, and where they're being dropped off. Call Maria, Dave or myself for RSVP, or any questions you have.
