The return

Hi guys

Hows everyone doin? Its been a few weeks since i've posted. As most of you know, Jarno and Liisa have been carrying the load over the last while in Youthwork. Anyways, the reason that I was away was my renovations started to occupy all of my time, and it started to get to difficult to manage work, youthwork, renos and family-life. So I was blessed to get a phonecall from Mr. Jarno a few weeks back giving me the option of havin a few weeks off. My renos are done( 1st stage ) and i'm all ready and recharged to spend, teach and hang out on my Friday nights with all of you again :)
So yeah, thats that for now.

So we have been given the opportunity to write, direct and perform the annual Christmas pageant this year. We have 6 weeks to come up with it, so I was hopin that this comin Friday, we could meet at the Church and discuss(hopefully) some of the millions of ideas that youth as talented as you come up with during the week :)
We also have to start to plan the Christmas dinner (fundraiser) and so on, so please come out Friday. I will have a short message, and hopefully we could even have some other fun stuff to do.
I will get some definite info on exactly what we should be aiming for in regards to the Christmas play.

Hopefully we will see all of you Friday, and we can hang out, grow in our faith and enjoy some good coffee and snacks after.
God bless and see you Friday

are we doing the christmas dinner this year? last year wasn't it a stress bomb that fell on the shoulders of miika and tanja?

what is the fundraiser for?

Since people think it was a "stress bomb", it was probably because people were not helping enough. We need all the help we can get to make the dinner a success!

and that means showing up on time to help! not 3 hours later!

and we planned the dinner late last year too

ya, but still only miika and tanja actually know how to make the finnish traditional food, so they're still the ones having to make all the food, though i'm sure that tanja would preferre not to have to do food for a year, too.
