ARE YOU READY FOR A WILD NIGHT?

Where: Be at the church and we will take you to West Edmonton Mall and back.
When: 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
What: We will be doing some awesome and fun activities at the mall
Be prepared to have fun and do some crazy things!

By the way, did you know that West Edmonton Mall cost 1.2 billion dollars to build, and is the size of 104 Canadian football fields or 5.3 million square feet? It is the largest mall in North America and in the world it ranks the sixth largest. Up until 2004 it was the largest in the world. It is also larger than Vatican City in gross area. Another weird fact is that before 1998 the mall had more submarines than the Canadian Navy had!

YCYCYCYCYCYCYCYCYCYCYCYCYCYC!!!
So everyone that's going to YC should have got a sheet from Pastor Brad with the details about YC. But if you didn't get the sheet then I'll tell you the information here.
We are leaving the church half an hour before each day at YC starts. It will take us about 45 minutes to get back to the church after the end of the day at YC.
However, on Friday be at the church at 6:00 PM.
You have to buy your own lunch or bring a bag lunch. (It might be a better idea to bring a lunch since buying food there is expensive.)
As well, everyone has to attend all of the main sessions. You also can't leave the premises of Northlands during the weekend of YC.
My advice is to bring your own lunch, your YC money ($115 - the $20 deposit - fund-raising money), extra money for C.D.'s and T-Shirts (if you want to buy them) and definitely remember earplugs!)
WE'RE IN THE NINTH ROW!!!!!!

Did you know?
YC started in 1994 with 5oo people in Red Deer. The featured singer was Rebecca St. James.
Compare that to YC 2005 with 16 000 teens!

Did you know?
There is also YC Winnipeg (Manitoba), YC Newfoundland, YC Kiev (Ukraine), YC Belize City (Belize), YC Zambia and YC Malawi (both in Africa).

GREAT EXPECTATIONS

Have you ever heard of the book Great Expectations by Charles Dickens? The story is divided into three sections with the expectations that the orphan Philip Pirrip (a.k.a. Pip) has about his life. Pip lives a normal existence with his sister and her husband Joe. He is an apprentice to Joe and strives to be a blacksmith. But this changes when a lawyer comes to him and tells him that he has received some large property from an anonymous person. Now Pip has great expectations for his life that are better than simply being a blacksmith. He is to live in London as a gentleman and his life is dramatically changed.
Do you ever feel that people have too many expectations of you? How can you live up to these expectations? Do you have great expectations of yourself and wonder how you can live up to them?
And finally, what are God's expectations of yourself?
Come to hear about great expectations!

P.S. The picture above is from a movie version of "Great Expectations".

Gotta Get to School!

School. It seems like a pointless thing sometimes. Like when am I ever going to use Coordinate Geometry and things like the Equal Tangents theorem or the Perpendicular Bisector theorem in real life? I mean you gotta know the basics but what about all those complex boring things? It doesn't always seem like we're really going to need to use these things in real life to me, but who knows? Come out to hear about the subject everyone kinda wishes didn't exist but maybe from a different perspective. P.S. Remember to draw your entry for the T-shirt contest so you can hand it in on Friday.

Do you know what the largest secondary school in the world is (regarding population) ? Rizal High School in Caniogan, Pasig City, Manila wins hands down with 25 000 students a year! It is located in the Phillipines. I don't think I'd like to go there because I'd probably get lost among all the people!
