David Brainerd Retreat - Grace Bible Church, Cambridge

***There will be no College & Careers meeting this Saturday evening, Nov. 4 at the church****

The main activity for this week for C & C will be the Brainerd retreat in Cambridge.

The specifics:

• Those that have confirmed they are coming - we are leaving on Friday evening, Nov. 3 at 5:30 pm - meet at the church parking lot by the white Jarvis St. van.
• Please be as punctual as possible as it is rush hour and we have to take the Gardiner to get to the church.
• Since we are leaving at supper time, I suggest that you either eat beforehand or take a bagged dinner with you as there is no time to make a stopover during the trip to the church.
• Please bring your $25 cash or cheque (payable to Grace Bible Church) for registration that evening.
• Billetting information: The organizers have mentioned that there is no need to bring blankets/sleeping bag for the guys. The girls, however, need to bring either blankets or a sleeping bag as a large group of girls will stay over a lady's home. Remember to bring warm clothes, toiletries, etc. for the overnight retreat.
• We will be back Saturday night, Nov. 4 after the retreat events finish that evening - expect to be back in Toronto around 11 pm.

Our next regular meeting for C & C will be on Saturday, Nov. 11 at 7:30 pm at the concourse of Jarvis Street Baptist Church.

Opportunity for Evangelism and C & C Weekend Retreat

Announcements for this week:

Evangelistic outreach to students - one of our goals this year is to promote evangelism to young people, especially those that attend the colleges and universities within the area. One of the TBS students, Paul MacDonald, conducts this ministry by engaging listeners in an interactive presentation. Please support this vital outreach- the team is going out on Thursday afternoon (Oct. 19). Meet at Greenway Chapel (off the concourse) at 1 pm. Donald Vilneff, our C & C leader, will be there to direct those who are able to come and those present will leave as a group to go to one of the school campuses.

• ***3rd Annual David Brainerd Retreat*** - This will be held at Grace Bible Church in Cambridge from Nov. 3-4. As this is an overnight retreat, transportation and accommodation will be arranged for those who can attend. The cost is $25 and includes the meals and accommodation. Our group needs to be registered by next Friday, Oct. 27, so please let me know by Wednesday, Oct. 25 if you are planning to attend. Information about the church is here: http://www.gbccambridge.com/ . Our group went last year- it was a very profitable time, as the seminars encouraged practical application of our faith.

Please join us this Saturday, Oct. 21 at 7:30 pm for continuing study on the book of Colossians and a time of fellowship with other young people.

A Happy Thanksgiving to all!

It is good to give thanks to the LORD and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night, With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp, with resounding music upon the lyre. For You, O LORD, have made me glad by what You have done, I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
Psalm 92:1-4

Have a wonderful time as you celebrate Thanksgiving and share your blessings this past year with family and friends. We know that a lot of you are going home to spend time with loved ones (and of course, a few great home-cooked meals!), so do enjoy your weekend and time spent at home.

There are a couple of important announcements for this Saturday, October 7:

• For those of you who are not going home but want to experience a weekend retreat in the country, our C & C leader, Donald Vilneff, has an open invitation to anyone who is free this weekend to go to his lovely and picturesque hometown in Marmora, ON. It is east of Toronto and near Kingston. The lovely fall colours there must be a sight to behold, and the countryside is replete with gently rolling hills (the hike around the property is always a great experience!) and bubbling streams. Please contact him by e-mail: donaldvilneff@hotmail.com for more details, preferably on or before Thursday, Oct. 5 so that transportation and lodging details can be arranged.

• Those that are in the city this Saturday, Oct. 7 are welcome to join us for dinner at Swiss Chalet on Yonge St. and Gerrard St. W. We are meeting at the church parking lot by 7:15 pm and planning to leave by 7:30 pm to walk over to the restaurant. Please feel free to join us at the restaurant if you will be delayed. We will have a time of sharing blessings and fellowship while we partake of their yummy chicken dinner- I believe you can also get pumpkin pie there for dessert- perfect for the season! We will then have a laidback time of games after dinner back at the church.

Have a blessed week, and hope to see those of you who can make it on Saturday evening!
