Wednesday night bible studies are the Dec. 6 & 13. December 20th, if you would like, we will be meeting to watch the movie The Nativity. Time and theater to be announced later.

Seniors!!!! Monday December 4th (wait!! THATS TONIGHT!!!), there will be a Senior dinner at Scott Jone's house at 7 oclock. Come, hang out, and get some grub!

Saturday December 9th there is a service opportunity for New Covenant Christian Church. We are being asked to supply some things for a children's shelter and possibly do some work on the property of NCCC (cleaning, lawn work - whatever). The children's shelter needs toothbrushes and hairbrushes (especially with cartoon/Disney charachters on them), toothpaste, hair burrettes (whatever they are), sweatshirts, jackets, underwear, colorful toe socks, etc. for kids 13 and under. They can be gently used or new. No toys, please. NCCC is also in need of paper towels/toilet paper.

We will leave from the church around 8:00am and work until 12:30 or 1:00. Bring some money for your lunch (somewhere cheap - $10 should cover it) and then we will go to the Holocaust Museum. We will plan on being back at the church around 6:00pm. If anyone would like to contribute some of the items I mentioned, please bring to church this Sunday December 3rd. Email Jonathan Dziuk at thewild@houston.rr.com or call his cell phone at 281-380-1764 to sign up or for questions.

Sunday Dec 10th first is the CYF CHRISTMAS PARTY!!!!! You need to meet at the church at 4:30 for a SURPRISE SURPRISE!! After, you will be journeying to David Klein's just like last year for a bonfire and fun. Please bring a coat and a $1 wrapped CHURCH APPROPRIATE white elephant Christmas gift. Sad but true, I won't be there as I will be in the Carribean, but have a christmas cookie for me!!

Also, THIS SUNDAY OR WEDNESDAY, please bring a small gift as a stocking stuffer. We are going to be putting together stockings for the bridges kiddos!

Dec. 16th is the Stone Soup Christmas Concert. If you are singing with them, please remember to be attending all rehearsals.

Hello!!!

I hope everyone had a great turkey day!! Here's the deal for the next few weeks:

Wednesday night bible studies are the Nov. 29, Dec. 6 & 13. December 20th, if you would like, we will be meeting to watch the movie The Nativity. Time and theater to be announced later.


Sunday Dec 3rd - There will be NO fellowship because of the concert @ 7 pm. We are going to hang out and have pizza (Anybody want to bring me Christmas cookies??) @ 6 pm before the concert. Please let us know if you are going to join us so we know how much pizza to order.

Seniors!!!! Monday December 4th, there will be a Senior dinner at Scott Jone's house at 7 oclock. Come, hang out, and get some grub!

Sunday Dec 10th first is the CYF CHRISTMAS PARTY!!!!! You need to meet at the church at 4:30 for a SURPRISE SURPRISE!! After, you will be journeying to David Klein's just like last year for a bonfire and fun. Please bring a coat and a $1 wrapped CHURCH APPROPRIATE white elephant Christmas gift. Sad but true, I won't be there as I will be in the Carribean, but have a christmas cookie for me!!

Also, that same Sunday, please bring a small gift as a stocking stuffer to Sunday school. We are going to be putting together stockings for the bridges kiddos!

Dec. 16th is the Stone Soup Christmas Concert. If you are singing with them, please remember to be attending all rehearsals.



Now, as it is the Christmas holiday, we need to remember that we are servants of Christ. So in turn, this Sunday we are doing the IHN move in after service.

Here are the following reasons why you should stay and help out:
1. It's a good cause
2. You earn disciple points!!
3. You get a chance to serve/pray for the families that will be staying in our church
4. If you don't, Santa will put coal in your stocking...

OK, so the last one isn't really true. Santa loves you all, but I hope you all will stay the extra half hour and help us set up. IHN is a great ministry and you are great kids. We will be meeting right after Sunday school (noon) and get it done. Please come help.

Hope you are having a great week! See you Wednesday or Sunday night for the Concert!!!

Gooble Gooble!! Hey guys!

So, it's finally the week of Thanksgiving! I know I am excited about food, family and fun! (Don't mind my slightly jaded turkey at the top) Remember this week who you are thankful for and don't forget to thank God for all your blessings!

We don't have too much going on this week because we want you to have plenty of family time. There will not be bible study or fellowship this week. I know...cry cause you will miss us!!!


But don't despair!!! We have so much to look forward to in December!
December 10th!!!!!!!!! (not the 3rd) is the Youth Christmas Party!!! Now, you don't get to know too many of the detials, but here's what we need from you. Be at the church at 4:30 ready to leave. Please bring a coat (it will be cold!!) and a wrapped $1 Christmas gift! Get ready to have some fun!!!
December 16th is the Stone Soup Christmas Concert. All those who are singing must have attended the previous rehearsals and the dress rehearsal. Don't forget!!!
There is tons of fun stuff going on outside of the youth department at the church this holiday season you might want to check out:
~Dec. 3 Choir Christmas Concert
~Dec. 9th there is a Christmas sing along by the fountain. I think I heard there is cookies and wassil so...there's some incentive. (Then again, this is coming from the girl who ate 6 mini cupcakes today...)
~Dec. 16th is the stone soup Christmas Concert which some of your fellow youths will be involved in!
Alright, that's all I've got. Have a wonderful turkey day and we will see you guys soon!

~appropriate sleep wear
~bedding (air matress?)

Hi CYF-ers!!! (and parents!!!)

Hope you all had fun at the Halloween Party. You guys looked great and did a wonderful job for the little ones! Thanks for helping out and making it a fun time for them! YALL ARE AMAZING!!!

Here are somethings going on this week:

First off, VERY IMPORTANT STUFF: If you are going to SERIVE RALLY (November 17-19) your forms are due NOVEMBER 1ST. They must be notarized!!!!!!!!! Service Rally is a fun event and a great way to earn disciple points. Don't forget that Nov. 1st is this Wednesday.

Wednesday night we are having Bible study at 6:30 in the CYF room. Just like normal.

Sunday evening, November 5th, we will be having Fellowship at 5:30. The following week, we will be going to Champions Roller Worlds from 4-6 for some good old fashion 80's skating. Now, I know some of you weren't around in the 80's, but come on....you've gotta love the skating rink. And I will give a great prize to the person who comes dressed in their BEST 80's garb. So start thinking 80's!!!

Altered, I believe there is a vocalist practice on November 5th. If you can not attend, you MUST let Pappa Frey know. Email him @ jfrey@cypresscreekdoc.org.

And now, a message from your local minister of hockey...

Sunday November 19th the Houston Aeros go up against the Hartford Wolf Pack. Game time is 5:05pm, departing from the church at 3:30, returning by 9pm.

The Aeros have blocked off a section for us and the tickets are $10 each. I will make final purchase of these tickets on Monday November 13th. Anybody who would like to go needs to have paid for their ticket by Sunday November 12th.

I will be taking cash or check on Sundays at church and Youth night, or a check can be mailed to my home at 26 Meadowfair Court, The Woodlands, TX 77381. If you decide to mail, please let me know by calling me at 281-380-1764 or email me at

Just wanted to give you a quick update about the week and a few reminders about Sunday.

Our Wednesday night bible study is at 6:30 in the CYF room.

Saturday we will be going to see Third Day and DAVID CROWDER BAND. Details soon.

Sunday!!!!

We are presenting our slide shows on all the amazing work you guys did as servants this summer in New Orleans. Please be in attendance at ALL 3 services sunday morning. Wear your Got Soul shirts and smiling faces!! Remember that the first service starts at 8:30.

Altered, please be at the church no later than 8am for a quick sound check and run through. Please do not make us have to call you to remind you. We are a team and need all our team mates there. (remember what you signed in your covenant). I believe if I remember right there will not be an Altered rehearsal that evening since we are singing all the services that morning.

Alright! More later!

*love*

Hey CYF-ers and Parents!

Did you miss us?!?! (Don't tell me if you didn't. You'll make me sad..) I hope the hockey game was fun. I'm sure it was!

So this week is a pretty normal week. We have wednesday night bible study at the same time same place (6:30 CYF room) and then sunday night fellowship at 5:30.

A few other things though...

Altered- OPPS! I told you wrong. We are having a FULL BAND REHEARSAL this sunday!!! Since we are limited on practice time this month we really need everyone there. Vocalist and Instrumental. So we will see you at 3 oclock!! Get ready to learn some awesome new praise songs.

Saturday Saturday Saturday!!!

We have not one but 2 opprotunities for service!!!

Meals on Wheels and babysitting. MOW will be in the morning. Plan on meeting at the church at 9:30. The baby sitting in the evening from 6:30-9:30. You can earn service hours for mission trip and money too if you do the baby sitting opp. Please let me know SOON if you would like do to either one of these.

We will be attending the Third Day and DAVID CROWDER concert on October 21. Let us know if you would like to go. I believe tickets are $11 (maybe a little more than that but no more than $16). We have already purchased tickets and they are first come first serve.

TCU Day is fast approaching also. I will be posting details for that in the next week. Start thinking about going to that (this is for juniors and seniors) It is the weekend of the 28th.

Well...that was nice of me to COMPLETELY forget a week of updating wasn't it???

So here we go. I'll update a day early.

THIS WEEK IN A GLANCE!

Wednesday night Bible study will be...you guessed it!!! 6:30 upstairs in the CYF room!!

Now, this upcoming weekend will be a little different. Since your lovely youth workers will be out of town at a convention, there will not be a Sunday evening fellowship. Instead, you guys will be going to a HOCKEY GAME!! (Just in CASE Jonathan hasn't come running by you with his cow bell! teehee) The deadline for tickets was Oct. 1st (hey..that's today!) so if you didn't get your money in, we probably can't get a ticket for you. I believe Jonathan sent out an email to all of you who are attending with details as to when/where/how/and what. But just in case you are a little out of the loop, please feel free to email him at thewild@houston.rr.com.

Altered will NOT BE REHEARSING THIS SUNDAY as a good portion of them will be out of town. We will resume with an instrumental practice on the 15th then all Altered on the 22nd and you will be off on the 29th.

Looking ahead...

October 14th is a BABY SITTING opprotunity. We need ONLY 3 people and you can earn money for mission trip. The hours are 6:30-9:30 and it might even be a little earlier than that. You will be sitting for the ARK program. Please let me know if you are interested!

Also, the 14th, we will be doing Meals on Wheels in the morning. Details to follow. Once again, please let me know if you are interested.

Also, if you would like to go see Third Day and DAVID CROWDER!!! on October 21st, please let us know. We will be buying tickets soon.

That's all for now kids and 'rents! I love you guys!!!!!
