The next few weeks

Hey guys

So the next few weeks are gonna be a little different, just because Marja could go into labor at any time. I am gonna attend Youth as always, but since i'm unsure of when our baby will be born, a back-up plan is good to have.
MARCH 30- this upcoming Friday, we will be watching a movie at the Church! If any of you have any suggestions, please post them and we'll decide from there. Remember, only movies that are proper to watch, so please use you're discretion when recommending :)
APRIL 6- this Friday will be spent at the Koivumakis house, we will meet there at approx 6:30-7 and have a fun night of fellowship and fun.

I will come out to these nights if I can, i'm sure that all of you guys understand if i'm away. Regardless, I will continue leading the Youth as soon as our baby is born and safely home :)
God bless all of you and have a great week. Remember to study you're Bibles and pray. They are investments which will strengthen you're faith and life :)

ps. Both of these youth nights will happen regardless if we are there or not!!

Friday night

Hey guys

Just a quick post to remind you about this upcomin Friday meeting. We will be havin a traditional meetin with some worship, a sermon and some prayer. We will most likely be upstairs for the worship part, but the prayer and sermon will be downstairs, as I really liked the atmosphere down there last week :) (ps. I truly enjoyed last week and the discussion night, we'll definetely do it again)
If anyone feels the urge to bring something to munch on, it would be cool. Regardless though, the most important thing to bring is yourself though :)

See you Friday

ps. We WILL have notes and translation available again, it will be the norm from now on...

Friday night and other things

Hey guys

I have a few different things to address here, so i'll try to be concise and organized :)

1. We will be having our "Discussion night" this upcoming Friday. I want to just hang out and talk about some of the things which are current issues in the world, the local community or in your own life. I have some topics in mind, but if anyone has any burning issue which they would like to discuss, then post here and we'll go from there. Ps. Anonymous is ok, if you dont want everyone to know where the question comes from :) 2. History maker, I booked tickets on Sunday afternoon for 7 of you, I already mentioned to them(organizers) about the signers, and for you youth that didnt get in on the 65$ tickets, we'll give you another shot at the 75$ tickets in a few weeks :) 3. I'm super excited about Klaus comin here with his family :) I have been telling you guys for months that I feel that God is startin to move in our Church, and I think Klaus is another huge piece of the plan which is slowly being put into motion...I truly feel that we are on the verge of a major breakthrough :) 4. I posted a pic of the "bottle" gatherers. Its quite the pile they have there, and i'm gonna really try to make it out for the next drive. I recommend that we all make it a priority :)

God bless all of you and have a blessed week. Remember to give God some time in your daily living!!!

HISTORY MAKER

Hey everyone

So it has or was brought to my attention that Historymaker early booking priviledge's end on Monday!! To break it down into simple terms, it means that if you book before Monday, you will pay $65 for the event. If you book later, you will pay $75 for the event, and if you don't book at all and pay at the door, you will pay $85 for the event.
So here is the chance, I will collect money on Sunday (AGM meeting) from those of you who are 100% comin and have the money right now. Those of you who can't come up with the cash right now, well there is still time (6 weeks) approx to get in for the 75$ price tag.
Well, thats about it. I will buy as many tickets as I get money for on Sunday evening, so if you want to be at Historymaker knowin that you got the best deal possible, then meet me on Sunday at the Church and cough up 65 big ones :)
God bless all of you and see you Sunday :)

Hey everyone

Yo guys

So its come to my attention that there could be a serious shortage of youth this Friday night. There is a b-day party that some of the youth are attendin on Friday night instead of youth. So my proposition is that we who are still comin to youth, meet at the Church at 7-7:30 and figure out something to do together. So yeah, thats about it. Bring some money and some good ideas. We can pretty much do what we want, we can stay at the Church, we can go out somewheres, we can, well do anything :)
Anyways, thats about it for now. Hopefully all of you who are not occupied can make it out, and we can have a fun night doin something as a group.

God bless

ps. The meetin on Sunday is the Annual general meeting, and everyone who is a member of the Church can come and vote. If you are not a member, and want to become one. Then come out and maybe it can be taken care of on Sunday :)

A night of discussion

Hey guys

So hopefully all of you have had a great week :) Me and Marja are super renewed and recharged after spending 4 days away from all of our responsiblities :) But now, its back to the grind. So its with great pleasure that I announce our upcomin Friday meeting!!!
I figure that we will have a night of discussion, i'm gonna formulate some questions, and some "hot" topics and I would like to discuss and see how you guys feel and think about them. I think that it will be a good night of hangin out, and hopefully you guys get some answers and strengthen your faith through it:)
If anyone has any good ideas or topics which could be discussed, feel free to post them on the comments section. I want the night to be an informal hangout time on our new sofas, with some time devoted to prayer and fellowship!
So yeah, thats about it. I will be preachin on Sunday morning also, so if you want to hear me speak, come out on Sunday morning to the English service!
God bless and see you Friday
