Girlz and Guyz Night

Hey fellow churchopians.... so this Friday we are gonna do things a little different. The girls will hang with thel girls and da boyz will hang with da boyz. So the girls will be meeting up at Jenni and Emma's place, and the guys will be meeting at my place (Jarno's house). For the guys you are more than welcome to spend the night at my place.... I have a fold out couch thing and I can get some extra mattresses too. I'm not sure if the girls are having a sleep over thing yet... so Jenni and Emma can let us know if it's OK. I think the girls know how to get to the Koivumaki's (I hope I spelled that right, sorry if I didn't) place... but for the guys I will send out an e-mail soon with my address and phone digits if you need to call me.
So I hope you guys are excited about this cause I am! I hope it will lead to conversations about Christian topics that are more gender specific and also some good prayer time. So guys can meet at my place around 7-7:30p.m. and lets make it the same time for the girls (if Jenni and Emma wanna change this time then just let me know).
So have a wonderful week and remember to keep a positive attitude. Seek God's kingdom first and all other things will be provided and given to you. Keep on praying and reading your Bibles and see you guys soon.

PS: if you guys wanna bring food and drinks then sort out who's bringing what by posting here or calling each other. Also remember Justin and Jamie over in Thailand in your prayers.

Movie night

Hey guys

So I went to the brick AGAIN and they promised to have the last set of legs for us this week :) Its been an exercise in patience for me, but we have 4 of the 5 now, and the last one will top us off in the sofa department :)
As you all remember, we discussed havin a movie night this upcoming Friday! I promise to have subtitles working, so EVERYONE come out! Now, i'm not sure over what movie we should watch, so i'm hopin that we could get some suggestions??
So post your ideas on the Blog, and we'll pick the best one of the lot!
God bless and remember to devote some time to Bible reading and prayer! Its the best possible way to spend free-time...
See you all on Friday

Hey guys

So as we talked about on Friday night, we will be doin some work in the basement on Friday. Some of us will put together the sofas, some will do some minor painting, and some will do some minor upholstering of the benches. We WILL also be having a little worship at the beginnin and speakin, as Justin and Jamie Jardine will be with us. As you know, they are heading to Thailand for a missions trip, and it will be nice to send them off with our youth groups blessings :)

So yeah, thats about it. Remember to maybe bring some clothes that you can get dirty (we should be fine) and also bring some photo or photos that mean something to you. We want to start the picture wall started on Friday, and we need pics to get it done :)

So have a blessed week and remember to devote some time to God and His glory!!!

God bless

Friday night

Hey guys

So i'm pleased to remind you all of the importance of this Friday's youth meeting. We will have Klaus Lehtimaki preaching and speakin to us. He is one of the Pastoral candinates for our Church, and I encourage all of you to come out and see how he is :) I was at the Bible study tonight, and was super impressed by his interpretation and illumination of the selected verses!

So in wrap-up, we will have worship, a great sermon and fellowship, so remember to come out to see and talk to Klaus.
God bless all of you and see you soon
