Thank You Parents, Leaders, and Students

THANK YOU

We would like to say a big THANK YOU to all the parents who enable their students to participate in all that God is doing in the student ministries here at Highview. You all love your children so much and it is such a priviledge to serve you and your family.

Thank you youth leaders for all you do to help with student ministries. You help out every Tuesday and that is an amazing thing in itself. You all have the passion and desire to seek God's will and I really enjoy serving God with you

Students - you guys ROCK! God has poured some awesome sauce all over the youth ministry and we are so thankful for it.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and hope that your time off school is fun.

OCC ADDRESS UPDATE
[Please Read!!!]

We have an important update for you! The address we gave you for the OCC sorting centre is incorrect.
THE CORRECT ADDRESS is 580 Weber Street North in Waterloo, ON.

It is anticipated that there will be a lot of people at the centre so Ian will have his cell phone with him on the night if you need to reach him.

519-589-7724

CHRISTMAS BANQUET

Friends: There was a little confusion about inviting friends and the banquet. Friends for the banquet are free but they will need a registration form. Please let me know if you plan on bringing a friend by Sunday, December 5th. Ian can email the permission form if needed.

A Gift Game: We are going to play a gift game. EVERY student is asked to bring a dollar store item and/or an item found around their home [with parental permission of course! LOL] that will be wrapped in Christmas paper. There will be a designated spot at LRC to put your contribution.

TACKY-ELVIS-CHICKEN WING NIGHT

We're going to briefly talk about how Jesus' resurrection is nothing like the claim that Elvis is still alive and asking question, "The King came once - Is the King coming back?" You bet ya! But it will not be the hip swinging Elvis. It's going to be Jesus the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.

Prizes are available to those with the tackiest Christmas outfit, the best Elvis voice impersonation, the best Elvis side burns (real or fake), and the best Elvis moves.

Here are the prizes.

#1 Prize: $25.00 iTunes Gift Card
#2 Prize: $15.00 iTunes Gift Card
#3 Prize: Three $5.00 Starbucks Cards to be spread out to three people
#4 Prize: Three $5.00 Tim Hortons Cards to be spread out to three people


Friends are welcome!

The SNACK?

You guessed it! CHICKEN WINGS!!!!!
