WHAT WE DO

THE MEN’S TEAM WOMEN OF FAITH NEWS Mark your calendars for the next time the Women of Faith meet. Please mark your calendars for Saturday, May 15th for our Annual Spring Tea. More details will follow in the upcoming months, but you’ll want to mark it now so you can plan to be there! “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:3-6. In Christ’s service and at yours, Janet Rice Visit the national web site of The Women of The Church of God YOUTH ACTIVITIES ABOUND! FOR THE YOUTH MONTESANO CHURCH OF GOD YOUTH GROUP NEWS By Lisa Zimmerman, Youth Director I am sure you all have been as busy as I have getting back into the rhythm of things as classes, sports and nameless other activities have begun for the 2009-2010 school year. I hope that things are going smoothly for all of you and that you find yourselves settling into a comfortable routine! As you know, Youth Group is starting back up as well, and for that I am very excited! We have some amazing things ahead of us this year. There are a few changes in place, the first being our move to Thursday nights and also some improvements to our meeting and team building repertoire ?. Our biggest goal is to get as many of you (youth) as possible to IYC2010 (International Youth Convention) in Orlando, Florida next summer. IYC is an invaluable and amazing experience that is well worth all the hard work it will take to get there. All students who will be entering grades 12 in 201- are eligible to attend, and of course I will give you much more detailed info as time goes on! (Courtney, Liz and I were blessed to attend IYC2008 in San Antonio, Texas and can I just say: WOW!!! I can’t wait for the next one!) Much of what we will do over the next year as a youth group will revolve around our journey to IYC2010 but you can count on lots of other fun and fellowship to be had at our regular group meetings, as well as concerts and events scattered throughout the year. I am looking forward to your input and participation and I can’t wait to find out what God has in store for our group!
