Hey everyone, just a quick reminder that we'll be having pizza after church this week to say goodbye and thank the YouthBuilders for all their hard work this week.  Be sure to bring $2, to help cover the cost of the pizza.  We'll be meeting in the Office Complex classroom from 12:15 to 1:15PM.

Meet the YouthBuilders!

Clockwise from top: Nathan Lambert, Andrew Martin, Ayla Kokbas and Ashley Ober.

The YouthBuilders are a team of post-high school students who are spending the next year traveling, teaching and building into the lives of students and leaders across the Brethren in Christ Church.  I had the awesome chance to be a YouthBuilder back on the 2003/2004 team and it's so cool to get to see this new batch come through now that I'm a 'youth pastor'.

The team is going to be at Westheights from Oct. 27th-Nov. 1st and will be helping out with Halloween for Hunger, as well as on Sunday mornings and at Weekly Meeting.  Some of you will even be 'lucky' enough to have one of them stay your house!

To learn more about the YouthBuilders experience check out their site as part of the work of the the Centre for Student Leadership.

(NOTE:: All students [junior and senior high] are invited to a farewell lunch for the YouthBuilders on Sunday, November 1st after church.  Bring $2 for pizza and come hang out with the YBs one last time before they head on to their next adventure.)

::Halloween for Hunger:: Saturday, Oct. 31st, 2009

 

    H4H is back!  Come out Halloween Night (that's Oct. 31st) @6:30PM and help us help the people in our community give to those who don't have enough.  Over 25,000 people in K/W access the Food Bank of Waterloo Region every year and we want to help keep them full going into the holiday season.  Last Halloween we collected over 1700 pounds of from over 600 houses.  This year, we're looking to cross a major threshold and go to 1000 houses!  Come as a family, as friends or just by yourself and feel free to dress up!
