Here is the master list for our activity tonight.
The speaker for our Youth Rally on the 28th is a man who has dedicated years to gospel outreach.
Allan McGuirl's ministry has touched hundreds of thousands of people around the world. He will share with us his unique method of spreading the Good News to the globe's hard-to-reach people groups.You may even be challenged with ways to reach out to your own hard-to-reach groups -- your friends.
Come prepared to have fun, be challenged and learn how God can use you right where you are. Share the gospel. Be prepared to use words if necessary.They're the perfect nights to bring a friend. Just remember to bring the right shoes.
As I woke this morning I started to think of the things that I'm thankful for and a group of really special teens came immediately to my mind. I speak for the other leaders when I say that we love each of you. Each Friday night you make a decision and the fact that you choose to be at Youth Group is both exciting and humbling, but most of all is something the leaders are extremely thankful for. We realize we're not the only gig happenening on Fridays and that makes your choice to be among friends in an environment where you will be in contact with the Word of God awesome!
We are devoted to making your Friday evenings fun and to bringing you lessons that will encourage and teach you that Christians should be happy about the fact that we're "not from around here"! We hope that if you're attending YG and aren't yet in a relationship with Jesus Christ that this year's theme will make you want to know how you can be.
This Thankgiving know that each of you are on your YG leader's list of people who we are thankful for!

Don't know about you, but over the summer I have really missed gym nights!
Let us know about any cool games you'd like to try out. We're always looking to expand our horizons!
We may not do them on the night you suggest them but you can always drop me a line by email with your ideas or talk to me, of course!
Don't forget to bring non-marking shoes and gym clothes. Oh, and guys - deoderant!
