Corn flakes

Hey guys

So I have a few things to post this week. They are as follows :)\

1. We WILL be going to the Corn Maze this Friday night. It is the last night that we can go, so I think that we should just go for it. However since we live in BC, and it does tend to rain. I will confirm on Wed or Thursday night. But as of the moment, unless we have some kind of monsoon or torrential downpours all week, we WILL be meeting at the Cornmaze at 7:00 p.m next Friday.
2. We were invited to go to ONE gathering this year. It is the biggest youthevent of the year, and it is a night with worship, prayer, teaching and great fellowship. The problem is that it is on a Thursday. I therefore think that we should have Youth on OCT 18 (Thursday) and attend this special event as a group! Let me know what you think.
3. Last but not least, as some of you who were at Church heard today. Next weekend is Thanksgiving. And since ALL of us live in such opulence and wealth, we obviously are thankful and want to show it :) So we have been given the opportunity to help out in the kitchen after the service next weekend. Table set-up, clean-up and dishes are all ways that we can pitch in and help make our Churches annual Thanksgiving celebration a positive and happy event for everyone. I will be roasting a turkey and helping out also.Hopefully you can all make it a priority to come out, enjoy the service, the food and the opportunity to help out and make the kitchen cooks jobs a little easier.

God bless all of you guys, have a great week and remember to pray and give time to God. It is one of the best ways to spend your freetime.

YO, youth this week.

Hey everyone,

So I hope everyone has had an awesome week so far!! We are halfway through the school or work week so the weekend is approaching fast... and hopefully we can all start the weekend off with youth group on Friday at the church. It will be starting normal time, 7:30pm, and Liisa is having a worship team practice at 6:00pm. So youth will consist of a little worship time, and then our new and wonderful Pastor Klaus has a message that he would like to share with us. So make sure to come out!! Hopefully everyone will be able to make it... looking forward to seeing all your smiley faces.=) So until then... God bless and remember to pray.

CHANGE OF PLANS

Attention everyone! It's raining, so CORN MAZE IS CANCELLED and we're gonna meet at the church and watch a movie instead. Be there at 7 - 7.30 pm. Bring some movies with you and we'll vote which one we want to see. We will do the corn maze thing in a few weeks or so...

Hey guys

So it if wasnt obvious, we ARE goin to the Corn-maze this Friday. I looked at the weather and it looks like it might rain a little. I think though, that we should just go for it. So we will meet at the corn maze at 7:00 or so. Please dont be super late, and remember to bring some money and warm clothes. (Rubber boots) might not be a bad idea either :)
Anyways, the address is posted below with prices and such. Remember to come out and bring a friend or two.
God bless all of you and see you tomorrow.

Next week

Hey guys

So it sounded like a sweet night at Jarno and Liisa's on Friday. Thats awesome, and really a blessing that there is another married couple who are helpin lead and so on. It really makes me and Marja happy :)
So I was chattin tonight with a few of you, and there was some questions about next week, and also a few suggestions. I think that since we are democratic and fair though, we should have a 48 hour period where ideas for next week are pitched.
So far the ideas are
1. The corn maze
2. A movie night at the Church

Let me know what you think we should do, and we'll go from there.
God bless and hopefully we'll see ya at Church tomorrow.

Fellow Kotikirkko-youth!!

Why hello there everyone!
Hoping you have had a good week so far and that the load of school hasn't hit you too hard yet! I can't say how nice it was to see everyone on Friday! It was so nice to see such good friends and people I love! :D
We're excited to announce (if you missed it on Friday) that this weeks youth meeting will be at our place (Jarno & Liisa's) out here in the Walnut Grove!
We hope you all can make it and will join us in fun times having some time in worship together, prayer, and some sharing of words. And of course, snacks!:D
The meeting will start around 7- 7:30, so you're all welcome over and if you would like to bring something to munch on, you're more than welcome to! We just went to Costco to get some things, so give me a holla if you have something in mind!
Directions will be emailed or Facebooked to you later on!
Hope to see you all out! Remember to invite your friends!
God Bless,
Liisa
ps- this pic is from our honeymoon... a typical day on the beach was spent under one of those after a nice swim.... sigh!

Summers over

Hey guys So summers comin to an end. Man, it seemed like it was way to short. It seems like summer just started and already its comin to an end. Anyways, the one bit of good news with fall comin is the resuming of our Youth nights on Fridays :) I hope that all of you guys have had a blessed summer and are ready to come out and grow individually and as a group. I hope that we can have a sweet year with some major Spiritual growth. So this Friday, we will be meeting at the church at 7:30 for our first meeting of this fall. I think that we should set some goals as a youth group for this year, and try to achieve all of them. Hopefully you can all come out and give your input, energy and happiness and make our first youth night of the year a rousing success :) God bless and see you all on Friday -Miika- ps. We will bring some munchies, but as always I wont get mad if a cake or two is brought :)
