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...

i couldnt think of ANYTHING funny to say so i had to google something. how sad for me...


A young woman said to her doctor, "You have to help me, I hurt all over."

"What do you mean?" said the doctor.

The woman touched her right knee with her index finger and yelled, "Ow, that hurts." Then she touched her left cheek and again yelled, "Ouch! That hurts, too." Then she touched her right earlobe. "Ow, even THAT hurts."

The doctor asked the woman, "Are you a natural blonde?"

"Why yes," she said.

"I thought so," said the doctor... "You have a sprained finger."


haha. i actually lol'd for that one :P

Sorry Nina, you have to be a jerk to get the recipe. With that said,you could ask Tim or Niko :)

I refuse to ask Tim or Niko, as I would then be implying that they are jerks, due to your words. I must disagree with you on something...
