AWANA BEGINS IN TWO WEEKS

Awana at Ridgeville Bible Chapel begins in two short weeks. Hope all you clubbers and parents are ready, because we are. When you arrive, don't be suprised if you don't reconize the place. Over the summer, a number of large scale renovations have been done to our kitchen and more specifically the gym. You won't even reconize it! We added new sound barriers, changed the color scheem from the famous 70's reto to a more contemporary style and added new moveable basketball hoops which can be stored in the case of a function.
So things are getting set......get those handbooks and uniforms dusted off and see you soon!

Awana begins on September 11th at 6:30pm. Bring out new friends who can also join the fun.....and look for our ad in the Voice of Pelham over the next two weeks and point it out to anyone who is looking for a great time of games, Bible study, fun lessons and singing on Tuesday nights.

Recovering from the MCMAC Chinese conference

Now I know what Goliath felt like. The August long weekend saw the family and I ministering to a group of Chinese Chrstians from Mississauga at Brock University. As one of my Awana churches, I've had the privilidge of ministering to them in the past and have formed a great friendship with their Pastor and church family over the past year. That's why it was a great privilidge, when asked, to minister to their children and adults. The topics I taught on ranged from the Armor of God (specifically the Shield of Faith), to facing the most difficult of challenges (David and Goliath), to the true gift of Christmas.

HAD TO RISE TO THE CHALLENGE OF LEADING SONG TIME FOR THE CHILDREN'S PROGRAM. FOR ANY WHO KNOW HOW BAD I SING, YHOU UNDERSTAND!

FORGET WHERE'S WALDO, WHERE'S BOBBY? HERE'S A HINT, HE'S THE ONLY CAUCASION IN THE PICTURE!

Now it's time to recover before heading to Oakville to do some Awana missionary traning. Special thanks to Hopedale Bible Chapel for lending us their building for this weekend.

And as always, we are planning the year ahead at our own club at Ridgeville. Looking forward to some productive weeks of planning.
