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.

Same for me! I loved it!
I'm probably a YES for the corn maze, and I'll ask my friend if she wants to come too.
I also say YES for the youth event on October 18th. It does sound amazing. It's the one hosted by Campus Fire, right? Before it costed $75, but it was changed to FREE! Which is very good. It's at the Peace Portal Alliance Church in Surrey. The website for Campus Fire is http://www.campusfire.com/about

I thought we were going to Natalie's on the 19th for youth?

And thanks everyone for the comments on my article. I myself haven't even seen it in the newspaper yet haha. I was also asked to continue writing articles in the english section, and I'll be doing so every once in a while now.

yeah I was hoping to have youth over at my house on the 19th, but if that doesn't work then another week would be alright.
I'll be going to the corn maze though! and I can help out at church if I can get a ride there.

We are currently experiencing a (possibly short-lived) torrential downpour. Yay for rain and wind!

hmm i am at school on Thursday night.. i would like to go to natalie's place on friday the 19th... i think that would be sweet. the ONE event would be cool too, but i just can't get out of school... which is CRAZY right now... anyway, umm... i'l hoping to bring something (pumpkin pie) for church on sunday, but i can only stay til 12:30 cuz i have work. :S.... if it's raining on friday i'm sorry to be a party pooper, but i can't afford to get sick again and risk losing my voice... so i probably won't come. such are the dilemmas of a voice major! sigh! ;)

We are goin to the corn maze on Friday. We'll see who shows up, and then we'll see if its to muddy and if there are any other fun options. And as for youth at the Anturris on the 19th. I think if we could have it there the week after, it might be better.We can discuss it though on Friday

Pies have already been bought for the church, but they announced to bring salads if you can/want to/feel like it.

Can't we just have a set calendar each month instead of this back and forth

Anonymous said...

I'd be coming to the corn maze, and so would Erin. Not sure about Tanja yet, I'd have to call her, but I'm sure she's like to come too if she's free.

well having a calendar would've been hard for the corn maze b/c we've had to plan around the weather. usually it's not like this, yano?

Anonymous said...

Erin! I haven't seen her since camp. hehe I'm at school:p

Anonymous said...

Miika you still haven't learned to spell Antturi right. It's Antturi, not Anturri. :P

You forgot to add that Brittany is coming too. And yes, Miika, I'm sorry to inform you that the Antturi's are not in fact spelling their surname incorrectly, it is you. :P

corn maze was fun!!! thanks for the ride miika!!!

Anonymous said...

well that officially made my decision of whether or not im going next year... i'm not. cold, muddy, crappy fire pits.

Anonymous said...

don't be crabby. that's why you do the nice muddy maze and not sit by the fire. mud is good for the skin.
