I was especially touched by your willingness to serve the kids in our kid's connection nights! This fall we started to gather as a youth small group in homes and I felt it was good. We've had more time to hang out together and more people have been coming. Of course things are developing as we are growing together to strike a good balance in having the gatherings as a place of spiritual growth as well as fun time with friends. But what it takes is a commitment to grow and develop together. So thank you for being there and making Friday's meaningful times! The group has changed also during this fall... some old timers were not able to come so much and some new brave souls have joined us (Rob, Jeremy, Mikko, Emma;). Hopefully we can do a better job in looking after each other and encouraging one another to stay connected.
Now is our Christmas break (I just had my last day of fall term Wednesday:).
But this Friday there is a Guys night
at Jesse's place in Richmond 7.30-?pm
(Welcome especially Tim & Nico).
Jenni told me that girls seemed to be busy,
so no girls special this Friday...
(unless something spontaneous still happens;).
This Sunday English Service 11-1pm
Christmas carols and Christmas reflections
Also follow the blog for info on how plans for ski camp develop.
Blessings to your Christmas time!
- it's the most wonderful time of the year...
This is why:
Grace and peace to you from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever! Amen. (Gal 1:3-5)
But when the appropriate time had come, God sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we may be adopted as sons with full rights. (Gal 4:4-5)

So, for all those men who are interested in coming on Friday, here are some things to be prepared for.
1.) I will be warming up the Sauna, so bring your towel and whatever other arrangements are necessary. The Sauna is clothing-optional.
2.) Be prepared to have a good time, we will have good conversation and some board games afterwards.
Also, I need to know approximately how many are coming, just so that I know what's needed in terms of drinks, etc.

Just out of curiosity, since when am I a newcomer?
