Hey!
After one school season and one summer of experience, I am feeling pretty PUMPED for September! Definitely learned a lot in my first 3/4 year!!
Some notes for you:
1. Sept Kickoff is FRIDAY, the 10th!
2. The Core is a monthly meeting geared towards our core group of students (those who call Colwood their home church, and Glow their home youth group). It's purpose is to empower our students to become leaders and give them a chance to provide feedback and let their voices be heard. It'll also be a great time of worship and encouragement! First one is Wed, Sept 1st. NEXT WEEK.
3. We are hoping to establish Outlets on high school campuses this season (lunch hours) as opposed to evening home groups. FYI. I'm considering some alternate plans for our home schoolers.
4. September 24, 25 is our Glow Holy Spirit Weekend. It takes place Friday night as usual, but will be followed up with a Saturday morning session. The event will probably have a very small cost to help cover the costs for our guests ministers. Registration and details will be announced at our Sept. Kickoff!
5. I'm hoping for a parent meeting at the end of September. The evening of Wed, the 29th is our current tentative date.
I AM SO EXCITED for this season of youth ministry at Colwood Church! I'm anticipating great things and so thrilled to be in a position of health so that we can grow like crazy!!
BLESSINGS!!

SUMMER IS ALMOST OVER!
Hey folks!!
Well, summer is nearly over and this is the first I've updated the blog to fill you in on updates. My bad!! What I anticipated to be a summer packed with fun events, has actually been pretty slow as students are spread out on family vacations, camps etc. Due to low interest, a lot of our events are being cancelled. We'll live and learn for next summer.
Just to fill you in...
REGARDING SUMMER HEAT:
As you may have heard, one of our summer interns was unable to complete his internship with us this summer. One of his primary duties was to oversee our annual Summer Heat events. With me now overseeing Summer Heat, I had to make some tweaks and thus our actual events may be different than what you picked up in your Summer Heat brochure. I apologize for any confusion or miscommunication.
Here is how SH has turned out so far. We've got one event left and I'm hoping we'll get some interest.
July 29 - Ultimate Frisbee - CANCELLED due to lack of interest.
Aug 12 - Paintball - CANCELLED due to lack of interest. (registration was due by Aug 3)
Aug 26 - Witty's Beach - Please let me know if you're interested in coming.
GLOW
Our weekly Glow services have been maintaining. Remember, they are on Wednesday nights for the summer. Our last Glow is August 25th before we take a two week break. Our September kickoff will be Friday, Sept 10 (back to Fridays for the school year).
ALSO NOTE:
Sept 24th, 25th is our Holy Spirit Encounter weekend. Ben Johnson (Next Gen Ministries Director for BC/Yukon PAOC district) will be joining us for Friday night and Saturday morning sessions where our students will be receiving teaching about the Holy Spirit. We are praying for some powerful experiences. This is a FREE event, but there will be registrations.
Oct 22, 23, 24 is Fall Teen Retreat at Nanoose Bay Camp. This is an AMAZING weekend and I am looking forward to it! Keep your ears open for details and costs.
