Senior High Youth Group

We had lots of fun last night at Senior High Youth Group. The night was filled with plenty of activity - we helped bring down all the church Christmas decorations from the attic, we had a quiz on Marvel comic book characters, we had lots of cookies, AND we had a scavenger hunt. A very competitive scavenger hunt. Broken plates, spilled lemonade, flying signs and Bibles - you name it. But lots of fun!

The most important thing to remember from the night is our theme and message. DON'T WASTE YOUR LIFE! Are you being changed by God's message to you this school year? Are you wasting your life in any way? Are you fulfilling God's purpose for creating you? Remember - you were created to bring God glory.

How are you doing that?

Just a challenge for this week as you go about your daily lives...

Thank You

Tis the season for Thanksgiving. It is the week of Thanksgiving and we all have much to be thankful for. The thing that comes to mind that I have to say I am thankful for is YOU - the students at Bayside.

I want to thank you for being so willing to serve.

Last Wednesday night we had our Harvest Home Celebration and many of you (about 30 or so) came out to help serve. We had students cutting pie, taking plates to tables, and running the drink carts. It was a fun time and would not have been the same without each of you! So thank you.

And last Saturday we had our annual Bayside Bountiful Boutique. We needed several students to help run the kitchen cafe as a fundraiser for our missions teams. And we had about 10-11 of you show up and help out. It was amazing and fun! Thank you to all the students who gave up most of their Saturday to help us in the kitchen. All for a good cause!

Time and again the students of Bayside step up and serve. And that is one thing that I am thankful for this season.

Younker's Community Day

I want to throw out an opportunity for students in 9th-12th grade. Each year our youth group participates in Younker's Community Day. It is a national fundraiser that brings money into our community as well as brings money into our youth group. All we do is sell coupons for $5 to anyone and everyone that will buy one. All of the money goes to our youth group. The coupons actually are worth $10 in cash at Younker's on Community Day. This fall Community Day is this Saturday, November 12. We have 2 opportunities to sell coupons at the store to make money for our youth group.

All you have to do is show up at Younkers, sit at a table and hang out with other students from Bayside youth group, and ask customers if they would like to buy a $10 coupon for $5. If you are interested please contact me as soon as possible via facebook or my cell phone. We have 2 opportunities to sell that we need help with:

-This Wednesday, November 9, from 6pm-8pm

-This Saturday, November 12, from 10am-noon

Let me know asap if you would like to help!
Thanks!
