Our Father

It was a great experience to go with you to Rock Creek/Mt.Baldy for our 2010 SkiCamp. It's just so different when we get to spend time and experience more things together. I would love to do that more, but... you know.

Anyways, this Friday we can get together again and start our regular weekly gatherings for 2010! The theme that we will engage with during this Spring is the prayer that Jesus taught us to pray:

Our Father in heaven,

may your name be honored,

may your kingdom come,

may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread,

and forgive us our debts,

as we ourselves have forgiven our debtors.

And do not lead us into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one.

Hopefully this can open to us new appreciation, vision and excitement to live as God's children.

This Friday Youth Group @ Koivumaki's (Emma's house) 7.30-10pm

- food & fellowship (bring what you can)

- Bible Study/Discussion

- Enjoying Life together!

Blessings,

Kari Ranta (missionary to Mexico, Bible translators...)

& his three teenage children

(they were asking if Natalie and your brother are coming... stayed in your house sometime ago)

Can you please spread the word and make sure people know what's happening.

Especially the new guys Jeremy, Rob and Mikko might need someone to contact them to let them know about this. Help me out in this, cause I have pretty intense time in finishing my audio course papers before my new term begins next week...

Blessings and see you all this Friday at MissionFest or

latest at our SkiCamp!
