Welcome to YVV YOUTH 2008!
Click here to see the youth program for Term 1. (the file is a little bit big but shouldn’t take too long).
Can’t wait to see you all on Friday!
Just a reminder (although I’m sure you don’t need it) that this week is the much-anticipated formal dinner and that as a result you need to show up at 7:00 instead of the normal 7:30. We’ll be finishing at the usual time, and you should come dressed in your best, and ready to enjoy a delicious meal by guest celebrity chef’s: Dan and Han.
Thanks,
Geoff
Big reminder not to show up in your traditional Friday-night best this week: we’re playing MESSY GAMES. So be prepared for some silliness, some strange tastes, and general mayhem. And be prepared to be lovely and help out your youth leaders clean up at the end!
The Friday night youth program has been updated, and can be downloaded from the link below. Should be a really good and exciting term ahead: we’ve got a few old favourites and a few new things to try out. And watch out for the messy games: this time there’ll be no excuse if you’re not wearing mess-able clothes!
(Edit: Thanks to Jess who helped me find out this was broken: it’s fixed now)
As most of you would be aware – the 22nd of June was to be our big formal dinner to finish off the term with – but news has come through that the majority of you are involved in the MECS production on that night – so we’re going to rest the formal idea until sometime next term (you will know as soon as we’ve decided). If you’re not busy that night – make sure you still come along because we’d love to see you, but it will probably be a cruisy hang-out night.
Hello crew!
Thanks for coming on Friday – the turn-out was huge and your slums were really quite creative!
For those who weren’t there, we ’slummed it up’ (as someone said) to get a better understanding of what it’s like for a large majority of the world and after a few hours of; ‘bad weather’, thieves, boring work and a very bland dinner of rice we came inside and had a great chat about what we can actually do to help. We floated ideas of sponsoring a child, doing operation Christmas Child, volunteering at a soup kitchen, fundraising and all sorts of other fantastic ideas. Keep bugging us about them and let us know which ones you really want to do.
“The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners.”
-Isaiah 61:1

What is a slum?
A slum is a district of a city or town which is usually inhabited by the very poor or socially disadvantaged. Slums can be found in most large cities around the world.

How can you help?
Pray!
Serve!
Give!
Go!
And if you’ve got any more stories about any of this stuff or what you’ve been thinking about since Friday, we’d love to hear them!
This week’s activity needs you to arrive at the church at 7:00 - not the usual 7:30. I can’t tell you too much – but it will be related to the big church’s “Mission Week”. Also, it would be good if you could bring cardboard boxes, plastic sheeting, maybe even a tarp if you’ve got them lying around. That would be great!
You should have received one already, but if you don’t I’ve uploaded the program as a PDF file – so you can download and print your own!
