I hope that you all are doing well. Don't miss youth group this Sunday night! Steve Bodwell is coming to speak on the topic "Why does God let people suffer?" and we've got the first part of a special service project for you to work on... be excited! And don't forget the new time - 6:00-8:00.
On the Jan. 31st, we're going to be doing something slightly different... We'll be talking about prayer again and putting it into practice! We'll be doing a prayer tour around Maple Valley, visiting different places around town to pray for the town and the people that we meet. We're joining forces with others from the church for this prayer adventure. We'll be meeting at 3:00. After the prayer tour, we'll have a pizza dinner (bring a couple bucks) and then we'll hang out and play some games. End time is still the same - 8:00. So be excited about that too!
And I'm sure that all of you have heard about the earthquake and the great need for help in Haiti. As a youth group, we have an opportunity to help the people there - by doing an emergency 30 Hour Famine. Basically, we will pledge to not eat food for 30 hours and collect donations for the people in Haiti. During that 30 hours, we'll be doing various service projects and learning and hanging out together. If you are interested or have questions, please email me soon! I'd like to do it sometime during February - maybe during Midwinter break on Sunday and Monday or Monday and Tuesday (2/14-15 or 2/15-16).
Also, we may be going to see the movie "To Save A Life" on February 5th... Put it on your calendars and check out the trailer here!
Whew... that was a lot of info! Hope that you guys are doing well! Let me know if there is anything I can be praying for you.
