ZEEBU Youth Retreat

~Have your youth registered yet for the next Conference-wide youth retreat? ZEEBU 2010 will be held at McKenzie United Church in Portage la Prairie, MB the Holiday long weekend of February 13th-15th. This event is for those in Grades 7-12 but we also need leaders who are aged 16 and over (leaders have their registration fee covered but must complete screening prior to the retreat).  For more info and to access a registration form please click here: ZEEBU REGISTRATION FORM LINK. Please pass the registration info on to all of the youth in your church.  And remind them to register early as space is limited and our last retreat filled up quickly.

Mission and Service Fund Advent idea

Here is a funding raising idea for Mission & Service (M&S) that your youth may want to do individually or as a group during Advent.  The readings begin on December 1st.  To download a copy of the Christmas Tree picture and the pages of readings that accompany it go to:

and then go down to the folder Advent gift tree flyer for M & S (it's towards the bottom of the page).
Then be prepared to make a lot of folks around the world happy this Christmas season with the gift and spirit of generosity.
