New post


Hi everyone

Just quickly writin you guys something from Finland. We've been here almost a week and its been great. I got to go to Summer Conference out here, and met up with about 100 friends that i've wanted to see :) I had a blast :)

Anyways, hopefully everything is goin great for you guys back home. I'm sure everyone is done, or doing there final fufillments for school and starting to prepare for a long,hot summer. I think that one of the strengths of our youth group is the sense of community, and even though i'm out here. I'm sure you guys CAN'T go a week or 2 without meetin up and having fun :) So yeah, meet up and have fun. Remember to give God time especially as you head into summer, He will bring guidance and direction and as a result you can have the best summer of your life!

God bless and see you in a month.

Hi


Hey everyone

WOW!!! What a meeting last Friday, it was awesome and filled with the presence of God. I left so blessed and encouraged, hopefully EVERYONE else also managed to enjoy the meeting just as much. Sundays morning service was absolutely incredible also, and I feel sorry for those of you who didnt make it out. Speakers like Petri come along only once in a while, and Sundays message was the most heartfelt, encouraging, challenging and thoughtful sermon that I have ever heard. I think it was impossible to attend and not be touched :)

Anyways, onwards to this week. We WON'T be having youth this Friday at all. We will however be having a bbq at our place on Sat afternoon/evening. We will provide everything (food, drinks,etc...), hopefully all of you can make it out. I am approaching it as my final youth meeting as leader, and you're presence would be much appreciated.

So yeah, we are hoping to see you all Saturday around 4:00. Have a blessed week and remember to give God the best of your life, not just the remains!

See you

ps. For those of you who have been dwelling in caves, I resigned as youth leader this Spring. But no worries :) the Church has already found and hired a new youth pastor/young adults pastor to lead us to the next level in our faith. I am stoked to see what happens in the Fall and in all of your lives. I've preached commitment over the years, and now it is VITAL for you to put it into action...
