Roseville Youth Group

Winterfest 2010 was amazing and I am very thankful for everyone that attended and made the weekend possible! The theme of the weekend was “The Veil”. We spoke about how our sins and our attachment to the temporary things of the world keep us blinded from the truth and separated from God. There were several amazingly talented performers including illusionist Jared Hall, comedian Bob Smiley, and comedians/musicians Bean and Bailey. The speakers including David Skidmore, Jeff Walling, and Sean Algaier, a youth minister and contestant on NBC’s “Biggest Loser”. The weather was fantastic and we had a lot of fun. I will be posting photos soon.

Next up on our schedule of awesomeness is Illuminate 2010, a fantastic youth conference just north of us at the Rochester Church of Christ in Rochester Hills, MI. It features David Skidmore and Sean Algaier, who were with us at Winterfest. The conference will also feature Pat Pugh, Patrick Mead, and drama groups “One Time Blind” and “Ambassadors”. This event is always well done and gets better every year.

We will be leaving for Illuminate on Friday, March 19 at 5:30p and returning late on Saturday, March 20. If enough people want to stay, we will worship at the Rochester Church of Christ on Sunday morning. The keynote speaker and the worship group continue the theme of Illuminate (“Drive”) on Sunday morning. The cost of $35 for Illuminate covers the cost of 3 meals on Saturday and pays for the performers and speakers. Bring extra money for food on Friday night and a possible lunch on Sunday. Let me know if you want to go to Illuminate as soon as possible! Click here for an Illuminate information booklet. You must be able to view .pdf files. Call me with any questions!

Note: There will not be any cars on fire at Illuminate... I hope...
