Malibu - We’re OFF!

Tonight at 9pm, 14 students from WCC (plus a bunch of others) will embark to the Princess Inlet, near Egmont, BC, Canada. It’s a place the Young Life organization has called MALIBU. It will be a week of fellowship, fun, and most of all, closeness with each other, and with God. We believe God is going to really speak to the students going to camp this week. Please, if you would, offer up a prayer (right now even!) for those going to camp — that they would encounter Jesus. Thanks, and see you soon!

Malibu Campers - ALL THE INFO YOU NEED!

Hey Malibu Campers!
We are coming down to the wire here… Camp is coming up very soon!

Just a reminder of all the things you need:

1. FORMS

UPDATE (June 27th): at the US/Canada border we will need this new form to give parental consent for entering and leaving the two countries with the trip leaders.

- It is crucial that you get these to us as soon as humanly possible. If you haven’t already, download the health form here, and the Canadian health form here. We need BOTH of these. DO IT NOW, if you haven’t!
In addition, you will need your annual WCC release signed. Download that form here.

2. MONEY
- Technically your balance is due today (Monday, June 15)… we got an extension with Young Life until Wednesday, June 17. We will be calling each of you today to talk about where you stand with money. Also, please note that if you attend our WORKDAY at WCC on Saturday, June 20, that amount ($100) will be figured in to your balance.

3. PASSPORTS / BIRTH CERTIFICATES / ID CARDS
- You will need EITHER:
– A Passport (along with your birthdate and the PLACE of your birth)
– A COPY of your birth certificate AND a state-issued ID card (available at your local DMV)

Please do not hesitate to give us a call at 503.656.2328 if you have any questions! Thanks!

A word for graduates

A number of our students are graduating from high school this week and next. What shall we say to them?

First, we love you. It is a joy to be in your life, to point you to Christ and see Him being formed in you (Col. 1:27-29). That is a glorious thing.

Secondly, I hope you develop a single-minded passion for knowing, loving and enjoying Christ above all else. I can think of no greater truth than what’s found in 2nd Corinthians 5:9-15:

9So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

11Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. 12We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart. 13If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

This world, to which Christ came, offers us only a sea of triviality to swim in. Waves and waves of nonsense are coming your way to get you off-course. Let Christ be your Anchor. And make it your purpose in this short life to be a missionary to others, giving you life for the One who gave His for you.

He came to show the infinite worth of God and brought worth to your life. Make it count, by His grace, for His pleasure (v. 9).

the CHOICE we have…

Hey guys!
Just wanted to get some feedback on last Wednesday from you guys…

I let you guys CHOOSE whether or not you wanted to listen to the message.

About half of you did choose to come and listen. The other half hung out in the lobby, played basketball, cards, Wii, and other things.

What did you think about that? Do you think we should keep doing Wednesday nights that way? Did you like having the choice? Why or why not? I’d love to get your feedback!

The heavens declare the glory of God

As we learned on Sunday, clues for the Creator’s existence and awesome creativity are everywhere.

Like in the sunset that interrupted our worship time tonight …
The heavens declare the glory of the One triune God

Fundraiser: lawn mowing

lawn mowing Here’s a great fundraising opportunity for one or two students.

An elderly lady in West Linn needs a little help in her yard. Mowing the lawn weekly. A great gig. (You would be paid directly.)

If interested, contact me (Jeff) at 503.656.2328, and I’ll get you low-down.
