Club 56 Mission Experience
The Club 56 Mission Experience is coming up this week. We will meet Friday morning at 10am at the church and we will be done at 1:30 Saturday afternoon. Cost for this activity is $15.
The point of the mission experience is to give the 56ers an opportunity to experience a mini-mission trip to serve and share God's love in and around their community. This year, we will have service projects that include: making sandwiches for a homeless shelter, volunteering at an elderly care home, helping get the summer programing ready for the Edinbrook church's Lil Kids ministries, and neighborhood cleanup.
56ers will need to bring with them the following things:
- clothes for the whole event (a change of clothes for Saturday, sleeping clothes for the night, maybe an extra shirt if it is a hot day.
- a bible and a notebook
- written permission allowing 56er to travel with us around the area as needed (to the park, street cleanup site and elderly care home) I will email a sample permission slip to parents.
- Sunscreen
- hang-out activities for more than one person (board games, etc)
- sleep stuff (pillow, sleeping bag, air mattress or foam pad, etc)
- a flexible attitude and a desire to learn
Please do NOT bring
- MP3 player/iPod /DS/ Gameboy or other personal gaming/music devices.
- messy prank material (i.e. silly string, stinky sprays, etc)
I am excited about this and I hope that lots of you are able to come. please let me know that you are coming by emailing me at livealifealive@gmail.com
If you have any questions, you can email me, or call me at 612.600.5845
Review from Sunday, june 12
Hey all,
Hope you have had an amazing week. Here is what we talked about last Sunday.
We were discussing "What Really Matters" and asking if being happy is what really matters.
We read these passages
Colissians 3.10-11 - We read that faith in God is the most important thing. belief in God is the most important thing that can identify us.
2 Corinthians 6.4-10 - This passage doesn't paint a very happy picture. It mentions many things that would not make someone happy. So is it possible to be happy in the midst of this hardship? What is the difference between happiness and joy? I see happiness to be very temporary and relevant to what is going on. but Joy is a state of mind - a choice to find peaceful contentment whatever comes along, because as mentioned in the earlier faith in God is the most important thing we can have. It can help us find joy in hard times because we can trust that God is with us and can overcome whatever we are going through.
Philippians 4.11-14 - Paul writes about having dealt with many situations (having plenty and living in poverty, well fed and hungry) and that we can do anything through Christ who gives us strength,
It was a good unit for discussion because the meaning of life and what it is all about is something that everyone searches for and ponders. Once we come to know that life is all about having a relationship with God, we can help others understand what is really important in life.
See you tomorrow.

Slight Change of Plans
Hey all you out there in 56er land!
The review from last Sunday will be coming tomorrow but I wanted to let you know today that there is a slight change in our plans for the Club 56 end of year party at our house. It will still be at our house on Saturday June 11, but we will meet at 1:00pm instead of 6:30 as mentioned on the blog and in the bulletin. We will finish up at 3:00 pm. The change is because Steph is going to Miami with the youth group on the mission trip, and so we are moving the event earlier in the day so the evening isn't so rushed for her. Please come at 1:00 we will have hot dogs and drinks. If your 56er could bring a snack/dessert to share, that would be great. If you have any questions or need directions, please email me (lifealivealife@gmail.com) or call (612.600.5845)
Thanks,
Chris
