Friday May 30: Y.A.L.O.T.W Faith Rally 2008

It's only fitting that HSB attends this event. It's going to be great. Last year there was 4,000+ attendants!

Who: Everyone! Even if you're not in YFC, just come down and join hundreds of other youth to have fun and Worship.
What: It's a rally, meaning, get ready to have the time of your life.

Where: Basilian Marian Shrine of Gratitude (behind Carmine Stefano Community Centre)

12.00 per person (the experience you get is priceless).

More information from official invite:

This Christian event has been called the "Ricoh Rally" in the last 2 years (naturally, because it was @ Ricoh Coliseum)...

This year, the "You Are the Light of the World" Faith Rally makes its return in an outdoor setting! This time, the venue is the Basilian Marian Shrine of Gratitude, a.k.a. the big field behind St. Jude's!!

It boils down to this: OUTDOOR WORSHIP!!

There will be a short talk about Christ's love and Sacred Heart, Holy Mass celebrated in the morning, possibly a couple of guest performers during the Lunch hour, and a dance & dramatic number as well!

We will end with a BANG, as we close everything out with an hour-long WORSHIP!!!

God-willing, the weather will be great and we will worship in His natural creation with (hopefully) thousands of others who also wanna show their thanksgiving to the Lord!


[ WHO'S INVITED? ]
Come one, come all! This is for ANY believer in Christ ("young ones" AND "young once") who wants to have a great time worshipping His name! So it doesn't matter what your group affiliation is (if you even have one). Simply COME AND WORSHIP! WOOHOO!!!


[ FOR THOSE IN HIGH SCHOOL ]
PLEASE TALK TO YOUR SCHOOL CHAPLAINCY TEAM ABOUT ORGANIZING A GROUP TO GO TO THIS RALLY! Ask anyone who went last year for help on how to do this. I know there's a lot of you out there.


[ WHO WANTS TO VOLUNTEER?? ]
PLEASE CONTACT ME (Chico Nuguid) or Angie Carboni ASAP!! WE NEED YOUR HELP!! We need about 30 people for various tasks, so help would be appreciated.


[ FOR THOSE WHO WORK ]
If at all possible, it'd be GREAT if you could book off ONE day of work to worship with a whole bunch of people in the great outdoors! This opportunity is rare.


Thanks. =) God bless. See ya there!!

(Some YFCs/SFCs may be helping out, but THIS IS NOT AN EVENT OF THE COUPLES FOR CHRIST COMMUNITY AT ALL. Regardless, the invite still stands to COME AND WORSHIP THE LORD!! WOOHOO!!)

It's Been a Blast! HSB Camp Coming Up!

HSB Pastoral Meeting on Sunday, May 18, 2008

Thank you to all those who supported this growing HSB program by attending the events we had. The Pastoral meeting that just happened was great and God truly worked through each and every one of you to make it happen.

Mae-Anne and I hope that you've learned how to lead events with your fellow HSB leaders in your respective schools from all the events we experienced together. Thank you again for your support.

In all honesty, we had hoped that everyone was able to make it to all the events because we love serving with all of you. Though, we cannot force you to come all the time but please just continue to pray for us and the entire HSB program. Let's continue to pray for each other. Starting up HSB in your respective high schools is not going to be easy but that is why we must continue to always have faith, and with that faith, move our hands and feet with the strength of God to make things happen. Brothers and sisters, never give up.

Our HSB camp is coming up! It is extremely important that from this moment on, you evangelize and invite as many people as you can from your schools to come. Please work together in spreading the word and keep on praying and having faith in God's Will and not yours. We are so blessed to have this opportunity to spread this great Love that we all need in life, so please, don't see this as an obligation, but a blessed opportunity to truly make a difference in people's lives.

The camp is scheduled from July 4—6, further details are TBD and the date is not written in stone. However, keep in mind that our camp will be in the summer! Praise God.

First of all, we hope everyone had a great time at this year's Preconference! The competitions and performances were amazing weren't they? We hope you took everything in, from good sportsmanship, to everything you learned from the talk and your experience at Preconference. Remember, this year's Conference (the main event) will be right here in Toronto! And it's National! That means CFC-YFC from all of Canada will be there, and so will you!

This weekend (on Sunday) we will be having an HSB Pastoral meeting. We can't wait to see you all there. Honestly, it's always a pleasure seeing people that go to the HSB events. God is great, and it's always humbling to share His Love with all of you. It's such a blessing to be serving with all of you. See you there!

Questions? Comments? Concerns? Suggestions? Need a ride? You know what to do.

We would like to thank those who came out to help support the HSB program at our first General Assembly. We hope you had a fun time with arts and crafts! You all did a great job and our Precon table will surely represent big time.

Check out the pictures.




See you all at the next event! Praise God for a blessed (small) bunch of brothers and sisters we are honoured to be serving with.

Let's keep having Faith in God and continue to Love no matter what.
