Nov.27 - YA UPDATE

Good blizzardy morning!
  Its beginning to feel allot like...well u know. I had a blast over the weekend, making forts, having snowball fights and doin some hardcore sliding. I'm actually warming up to the snowy weather! Remember, change is good!
 
BS was off da heeze last WED. It was a great time of testimony, prayer and worship. All of us shared about what was God was up to in our lives and what He did up @ Consumed . Many of us opened up and shared from our hearts about some deep stuff that was goin on in our lives. Please continue to pray for one another and offer support for each others struggles. We really need each other, more than ever! So thanks to all of you for sharing so openly and honestly, we really are family!
 
BS continues this Wed. 7:30 PM @ my place, I am not sure what we will do WED as we do not have a speaker lined up. Certainly I can jump in and do another gift, but I am thinking JC wants to do a lil sumpin different. So come prepared for a lil change. Perhaps we will continue on with what God started last week, like prayer/worship/sharing. We need somebody to snack it up...how  about you? And BTW, please bring snow clothes cause some winter fun and maybe some snow football may break out afterwards...
 
Gareth will be happy to know that my GUESTBOOK is back online. We had some spam problems, mainly VIAGRA (which I do not take, if ur wondering). But Kdawg did it again, and came up with a nice new Guestbook! So be the 4th one to sign it, and please lets keep it real and honest! (Especially you Devo, feel free to recant).
 
Drop in Floor Hockey @ Woodland is cancelled tonight, due to a celebration of Jesus' Bday, but we will be back at it next TUE. If you wanna come and chill, we are planning a GAMES NIGHT (board games and maybe outdoor snow fun) at my place @ 7:30. Please email to RSVP.
 
We are planning on heading down to Camp the weekend of Friday DEC. 8th for a Kids/Youth Production. Stay tuned for more 411. And another house-keeping note, for those who I have not seen or heard from for awhile that are still on this email list. I personally despise junk mail and I do not want to be the sender of such. So I will start sending this YA UPDATE to those who attend the BS or to those who reply and say they still want it. That's all for now, Keep looking up, JC COMETH!

WORD TO THE WISE
So don't lose a minute in building on what you've been given, complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder, warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing the others. With these qualities active and growing in your lives, no grass will grow under your feet, no day will pass without its reward as you mature in your experience of our Master Jesus. Without these qualities you can't see what's right before you, oblivious that your old sinful life has been wiped off the books.
 
In the Marvelous One,
Pastor DLAL

Good mornin Crew!
We had a great weekend in Duncan, wow u sure missed all the fun fun! After a fabulous church service on Sunday we chilled at Stewbys for lunch and watched the Lions open up a can on the Green Riders. Stu's crib was so sweet too, like his HD quality TV and his 'new' Pleather couch. haha, "kidding" ghs. Its the real deal leather. Oops sorry Hakeem for stealin ur word dawg. Then it was off to Hockey Night in Cowichan, where we played an inter-squad game with the Oasis Crew. I wowed the crowd with my "skills that pay the bills". I wasn't really keeping track...but i tallied 2 goals and 3 assists thanks to Timbys generous goal tending debut.

BS has been nice and intimate lately, last Wed Karina led a great study on the Gift of the WORD OF WISDOM. Please join us if you can this Wed. 7:30 @ my place, when Amanda will be leading a study on the Gift of Discernment. I'm really looking forward to hearing Amanda lead for the first time, it will be dandy and I'm sure she will STICK IT. We need somebody to snack it up...will it be you?
