MAY EVENTS

It looks like spring is finally here! It is a time of new beginnings: flowers, grass, trees grow again. The dead, brown ground turns green with life. God wants to do that is our lives as well.
"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come." (2 Cor. 5:17) What new thing is God doing in your life these days?

Here is a look at what is happening for Genesis Youth Group Events in May:

Friday, May 6. MOVIE NIGHT Come out for some munchies, a good movie, and interesting discussion about it. 7:00-9:30 pm at the church.

Friday, May 16 AMAZING RACE/SERVICE EVENT This will be an action packed evening as we do the "Amazing Race". Come prepared to be outside and wear comfortable shoes! If you have a video camera or a video component on your camera or phone, bring it to the event. Meet at the church at 7:00pm. Pick up time, 9:30 pm.

Friday, May 20 There will be no youth this week due to the long weekend.

Saturday, May 28 GARAGE SALE! Some of the youth will be at YC this weekend, and others will be hanging out at the community garage sale at the church on Saturday. More details will be coming about this event.

AMAZING APRIL!

AMAZING APRIL

April is one of those rare months where we have five Fridays! That means five youth nights in April! (Well, I guess one of those Fridays is Good Friday, so we will have youth on Thursday that week- but still we have five youth events in April). That is not the only reason that April is so amazing. It is also amazing because we celebrate Easter which remembers God's very radical act of love for us! Through Jesus, God shows us incredible, amazing love! Now that is something to bring us joy (even when there still is snow on the ground in April.)

Take a look at our APRIL EVENTS:

Due to Easter we will be meeting on Thursday this week. We will be joining the rest of the church for a dessert night (yum, dessert...) and hear from some real live missionaries. Then we will go and have our own youth adventures and watch a movie. To fit all this excitement into one evening we will be sleeping over at the church. The next morning we will have breakfast together and then join in with the Good Friday service before heading home to get some sleep.

Friday, April 29 Galaxyland Event. We are going to ride the thrills at Galaxyland! Cost: $10.00. See Kevin or Heather to buy your ticket.

March Madness!

Kevin loves March because it is the time of March Madness which is when the USA college basketball teams have their playoffs. However, we love March for other reasons, such as some great upcoming youth events.

Skating (weather permitting). We hope to go skating and sliding around on the ice at YMCA. Brings skates, boots, and warm clothes. If it is too cold we will have some other great (and warm) games to play inside! Find out what this picture on the right has to do with us!

But you need to tell me by TOMORROW (Wednesday, Jan 19) if you are coming so we can arrange rides! It will be fantastic! Maybe we can do the wave and bang on the glass when there is a good check!
