Recent Happenings

Well, sadly the blog has been post-less for quite some time now, and I'll take full responsibility for that one. This doesn't mean the Youth Group hasn't been up to anything lately though! We've had quite the whirlwind of activities over the past month or so both in the form of Youth Group outings and some awesome meetings.

Bulldogs Game (February 6th)

From what I've been told this game was a blast, with just over 40 people showing up to the game under the Youth Group's organization. We saw a fair amount of Youth Group members, along with the friends and families from outside the group which was awesome. For the more sports-oriented people, the game was a 3-2 victory for the Bulldogs over the Senators, with Weber scoring the winner in overtime.

Guest Speaker: Jodi Bezymer (February 8th)

The following Sunday we had a meeting at the church with goodies provided by the Schwantz's (thanks!), where Jodi Bezymer held a speech/discussion session just highlighting some of the issues we as youth face today. She gave us a background of what she does for a living, and gave us handfuls of interesting facts and some great material to discuss amogst ourselves. We also touched on the fact that as a group we're much stronger than we are individually, and if anyone within our Youth Group has issues to reach out to one another for support or assistance!

Goodness: "The LORD is good" (February 22nd)

On the 22nd we went back to our study guide, but this week the meeting was hosted by the DeBoer's (thanks for the awesome hospitality!). Not only was there a change in location though, we had a change in leaders too with Sara and Rachel leading one of the groups - doing an awesome job and provoking much conversation. Lawren and Matt once again led us in worship via the guitar, with Dave harmonizing on his Mandolin (nice touch Dave!). The discussion was great, and we definitely had a lot of time to put our learnings of goodness into practice with others.

Laser Tag (February 27th)

The Youth Group went laser-tagging on the 27th, organized by Carissa and Rosalyn. There was just over 20 people who showed up, and much fun was had by all.

Upcoming events:

Faithfulness (March 8th)

This meeting will be held at the church, as we'll be having a potluck dinner before the meeting (organized by Danielle), a with a plethora of games to be played after the meeting is done! Please e-mail us at bwyouthgroup@gmail.com or check out the facebook group if you are able to bring some food for the dinner.

Adult Dinner (March 28th)

The first annual adult dinner will be hosted in the fellowship hall at Ebenezer Canadian Reformed Church. We'll need all the volunteers we can get, so be sure to send an e-mail to the Youth Group with your ability to attend.

Looking forward to seeing you around!

Thanks,

Mike Krikke
