Hey all!!

Ah, what a relaxing week-end: no youth group on. Let me tell you: I don't like relaxing week-ends! I miss you guys!! So to compnsate, this week-end we have a massive load of stuff going on:

First of all, Saturday. We're going to Laser Quest. The place is in Coignières, and the address is

Chemin des essarts
78310, Coignières

and here's a map: http://www.laserquest78.fr/LQ78-plan.pdf

So far, there are a lot of young people coming, but there is up til' now no transport... Could any parents or drivers please make themselves known so that we can organise transport please? Otherwise, we'll go by train.

To sum up, we're meeting at church at 12.30 for pizza. Bring 20?. If you don't want pizza, you can either meet us at church at 13h30, or at Laser Quest at 14h00. Bring 12?.


And then on Sunday morning, normal activities resume after last Sunday's awesome On Your Marks service! We'll be talking about the fall, and in Jolt in any case, we'll be watching a video and listening to some music... I hope that Maz can match that for Impact! Otherwise, Jolt will have no choice but to gloat at Impact... Unless you choose to not gloat, which is maybe nicer, but quite so fun... ;-)

And in the evening, straight after the Five Thirty Service, we have Fusion!! It's going to be great fun with great food, and some quality time with Youth Group and co. I really recommend that you come along. You'll be missing all the fun otherwise... And that would be sad.

So voilà, that's what's on next week.

And then don't forget that on Saturday the 29th, @ 7.30 in Elancourt, we have a soirée PULSE, which I really couldn't recommend more highly!! It's really going to be top stuff, so don't miss out.

In other news, it's Anna's big 18 this Friday, so I think that we should overload her Facebook page with messages from everybody.

And I believe that that is all. I'm sure that there's something else that I'm forgetting, so maybe expect another e-mail in the next day or so, once my amazing wife, or someone from Youth Group will have reminded me what it is that I'm forgetting.

See you all really soon, and have a great, blessed week.

Errata!!

Sorry, I made two mistakes in my e-mail today.

first of all, I forgot the attachments, so here they are!!

The other thing is that I said that next week we're going to look at the fall. In fact, next week is On Your Mark's family service!

Voila!

Hello everybody.

Well I've just had an awesome week-end.

Sunday was really good fun. In the morning, we had a quick glance at creation, and how it affects the way that we live our lives. I've joint a pdf. file with the basic stuff that we looked at on Sunday, so that those who weren't there can be in touch. Next week, we're going to take a look at the fall (not the american word for "autumn", the thing that happened because of Adam and Eve). Then the evening service was really good fun. Followed by Fusion, which was great. Beki lead us in a puzzle, which I've also attached the puzzle so that those who did it on Sunday can complete it if you want, and so that if you weren't at Fusion you can have a look at it. I was really encouraged by how good God was to me over the week-end, and how well everything went on Sunday!

And congratulations to Marion, Anna and Nick's team, who won, with 22 finds out of 30, and to the close runners-up, Julie, P.-J. and Philip with 21 finds!! And well done to the rest for taking part!! (I'm such a good Christian, congratulating people for taking part!)

There are a few things that I'd like to bring your attention to this week:

First of all, I'd like to remind you of two things in two weeks time: On Saturday the 22nd, we're going to Laser Quest. Meet at 12 at church for Pizza, and we'll be heading for Laser Quest around 13.30, aiming to get there at 14.00. The price will be 20? for Pizza and two LQ sessions, 17? for pizza and 1 LQ session, 12? for no pizza and 2 LQ, and 9? for no pizza and one LQ.

And then Sunday afterwards, we've got Fusion in the evening.

A few other dates for the diary:

29th of November: Soirée PULSE in Elancourt. Book the date, it's going to be really good. Two really good friends of mine are doing the worship and the talk, and they're both very gifted. I highly recommend it. We should be able to organise transport if that's the issue for you. It's free of course.

And a quick reminder concerning Soul Survivor: the final date for booking up for the low rate is January the 31st. If you want booking forms, you can contact me. I'll be centralising booking forms so that we can easily do a joint booking.

We're going to have another meeting before then. I suggest Sunday the 11th of January, directly after the morning service. If this date doesn't suit you, could you please get back to me very quickly, and we'll change the date if it's inconvenient for a fair amount of people.

That's about it for this week.

I hope that you have a great week.

Hello, hello, hello!!

How are you all? I hope that the holidays have treated you as well as they have treated me! But, well, back to school on Thursday...

But here's some good news: Next Sunday, we're starting a new series of studies, and if you want to find out the theme, then you'll just have to turn up!!

The rest of the news is fairly brief:

On November the 22nd, we've got our next social!! We're going to go to Lazer Quest, in Coignières. There's a lady's parayer breakfast in the morning, which I know that some members of the youth group are gong to, so what could be a really good plan is to meet at church from about 12h30, and we can have some take-away pizza from speed rabbit, and then drive on to Coignières around 1h30 p.m. aiming to get there around 2 o'clock.

The fare would be around 20?: 12? for two sessions of Laser Quest (bring 9? if you only want to play one session), and then provide another 9? or so for pizza.

If you don't want to come for pizza, then you can meet us at church around 1h30 p.m. or at Laser Quest itself around 2 p.m. But then who wouldn't want pizza??!!

So that's the plan. However, this means taht we are relying on cars. So if any of the parents or the older youth could drive, that would be a really great help. You can play Laser Quest if you like, if that's a good enough incentive to make you come!!

But last and most certainly not least, next Sunday evening, we have got Fusion!! It starts straight after the evening service, so the best thing to do would be to come to the evening service, sing loads of the songs that we learnt @ Soul Survivor this summer, and then stay on for the fun and madness of Fusion!

I guess that that's all for now folks. Hopefully by next week, I'll be able to announce that the youthgroup webpage is shining new. Beki's been working on it, and it's looking good, and it should be online within days.

I hope that you all have a great week, and that God makes his face to shine upon you and your lives!!!

See you next Sunday!!

Nathan
