back into commission

okay, so here it is. this beauty of a blog is being reinstated. brought back into commission. updated. you name it, it's happening.

unfortunately, i really don't know what to announce. i think i'll start with a plug for ACG.

so yeah... for those of you who don't know, finch and i have started up accountability groups (hence the AC and the G) for sr highs on sunday nights at 5:30. it's a good time to sit and chat with other people in the group about what's going on with your faith/life. we just started today and we'll be continuing on with the groups for a while. i highly recommend ACG for all of you out there. we all need accountability (faith isn't the easiest thing to work through). so come on out next sunday night.

ACG
sundays from 5:30 - 6:30pm
right before dsf
pray.share.study.

Happy New Year!!

Yeah that pretty much says it all.

ATTENTION ALL SDSS-ERS!

NEXT WEDNESDAY (aka November 15th), we're having a speaker from an organization called Pais come in to Prayer @ the Pole. For those of you who were at Qwanoes this summer, it's Mel Easton!! It's going to be sweet! She's basically going to talk to us a bit on prayer and then we're going to pray, as we normally like to do at Prayer @ the Pole ;). So, if you want to come out and learn a little more about why we pray, find out why we even meet as a prayer group, or you want to pray for our lovely school of south delta secondary, feel free to check it out! We usually take over what is commonly known as the "green room" behind the theatre in that hallway that nobody ever goes down, in case you haven't been before. Yeah! That's it! Wednesday @ lunch! Come out! :)

PS- if you want to know about Pais and why the hay it's even called that (because it's NOT an acronym, surprisingly), you can check out their website @

grey?

While trying my best to write an essay on the joys of leadership and volunteering (welcome to the wonderful world of scholarship applications, my friends), I found my mind wandering a little bit. Actually, a lot. In fact, I was pondering for quite some time why they dyed McSteamy's hair grey? Without being able to come to a a conclusion on my own, I've decided that I need some input from other Grey's addicts.
My opinion: it brings a whole new meaning to the title "Grey's Anatomy". Get it? GREY's Antomy. I know...not funny. Booo.

p.s. lisa has grey hair.

Mini-Golf: You Know You Want It

Greetings, Sr. High folk. Well, I reckon it's been a while since we've had an "event" of any decent magnitude. This hasn't been for lack of trying, as the frustrated people on Ministry Team can tell you. However, I am pleased to announce that we now have an "event" (is that what the kids call it?) planned for next Saturday.

A scientific Gallup poll recently revealed that when people think of Halloween, 96.3% of them think of mini-golf (with a margin of error of +/- 2%). The association is obvious. Therefore, on Saturday we'll be going to the extreme mini-golf courses of Castle Fun Park in Abbotsford to roll up a fatty of fellowship and fun.

Now, right there, I know your youthful hearts just tripled their beat rate. Obviously any place that calls itself "Castle Fun Park" ain't messing around. And it ain't. You'll have your choice of playing the mysterious Coral Sea course or the exotic yet emotionally meaningful Jungle course. CFP (as the kids like to call it) is about even more than the wonders of mini-golf though. It also seeks to educate the mind and body through the employment of complex and beautiful games, both arcade and otherwise. Games such as Whack-A-Mole ask the question, "Who am I? Where am I going? How is the elimination of moles effecting the balance of the delicate Castle Fun Park ecosystem?".

Of course, Halloween costumes are strongly encouraged. If you are costume-free at this event, you risk the chance of Finch saying, "Where's your costume?" Clearly that would be an awkward and emotionally scarring moment that no intelligent person would want to endure.

We'll meet in the courtyard of the church at 6:30 on Saturday the 28th (i.e. this Saturday. It has also been scientifically proven that short notice for events makes them more fun). The cost is $10, which covers you for one round of mini-golf and the cost of gas, etc. You should also bring some extra bucks for the games at CFP and a stop for some tasty treats at an exciting food-selling location on the way home. You should be home around 11:30pm (*fingers crossed*),and leaders will drive you home (unless you live in some freaky-deaky place like Surrey. *cough* Broadheads *cough*).

There will be a sign-up list at Sunday School and at Wednesday small groups. Please try to put your name down as soon as possible and try to confirm what friends of yours are coming so that we can figure out how many car seats we need ASAP. I strongly encourage you guys to invite your homies, as this will be a fun night and a good way to introduce them to youth group.

Finch, out.

Posting for the sake of Posting

Well, I am just posting something so that there is something in the october archives so that this site appears to have been gong for a long time. As well as, no one has posted for a long long time.

something?

K, im bored and wanna do something tonight, if anyone has any ideas, holla. o, and my house is open for a movie or something like that.

myspace is your friend

so i'm encouraging all of you to get a myspace account. why? well it's good times, that's why. plus there's tons of people on it, so it's fun to leave messages for everyone. janiners has one (www.myspace.com/jstanderwick) and i have one (www.myspace.com/jennsalt). Then there's Jacquie and Abby and Kimmy and Brooke and Kirk... well the fun just never ends.

So yeah.... myspace.com is your friend!

Love ya!

out of retirement

let's bring this thing out of retirement

love you all - see you soon

Pot Luck August 25

Hey, for everyone that has not yet heard, there's a pot luck for the end of the summer at the church on friday august 25 @ 7:30pm. The theme is Red Carpet, but not as formal. As long as you try and put together a decent outfit that looks a little out of character, you'll be fine. Otherwise, dress as a nerd and it will come in handy. We also need people to contribute food! Please bring an appetizer/main course/salad/dessert. Let me know what you can bring, you can email me at cowgirl711@hotmail.com to let me know. Sooner is better than Friday afternoon, so please let me know so I can get organized and stay sane! Also, Alannah is doing the decor for Friday and she would like anyone who can to bring tiki torches and white chirstmas lights. If you have any of those, please email her at alannah_banana14@hotmail.com . Any other questions you may have, you should email Steve Harris (steve_harris2@hotmail.com) .

stay sane y'all.

P.s; Girls bible study is still on for 9:45 - 12 @ the marcopoulos' if you can come. Steve has also organized a game of Manhunt for the evening (8:30-11:30 @ Diefenbaker Park). This is for everyone, so please come!

Pot Luck August 25

just a reminder

just a friendly reminder to all those who haven't yet switched over to the new site. steve's got a new site going for the senior high's and y'all can find it at www.seniorhighstyle.com .

just a reminder

AARGH!

Yes, that is what I'm feeling right now, because I can't get the new site to work! I've been trying to figure it out for a long time before everyone knew about it, so I've come to a conclusion that it must be something to do with my computer. It's wierd though, the blog works, and my internet works, but not these junior/senior sites. Is it a setting on my computer that needs to be changed, do you think? If I can't get it to work, I may just have to go down to the library later to check it out, because I hate missing out.

P.s: Does anyone know what's going on tonight and the rest of this week for the Seniors?

Bill 42 -- Transfer to new SDBC Youth Website

In light of the recent discovery of the new SDBC Youth website by a number of people, I suggest that, since the new site offers better organization and also a cooler format, we transfer all activity to the new site. This is, of course, what I think, and I would like to see what you all (ya'll) think.

Please post a comment here if you support/oppose the idea, and why. If you support it, why not make an account on the new site (located at www.seniorhigh.southdelta.org) and post on my Bill 42 thread with your support.

Thank you, and please don't forget your complimentary paperclip on your way out the door.

--One Zero One Zero One Zero

ben, the rumours are true.

has anyone checked this out yet?

http://www.seniorhigh.southdelta.org

i think i may be the only one, other than steve, registered. was there really a need for another sr high site? is this one not successful enough?

Yay for August!

Happy August 1st everyone! My birthday is 24 days from now....wait no...23. August 24 is the date. Anyways, I just wanted to say that August is pretty much the best month ever. I'm off to babysit.
Lisa :)

swim2

k, again i am bored, so come to my house at around 6 00 and then we will endoudgeourselves in water.

E3 IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 as we know it

pretty much, this is directed at ben.
http://ps2.ign.com/articles/722/722035p1.html
12 years of the mega expo, and now it is gone. IGN/E3 was my closest relation to my own nearby expo, and since none have come to vancouver, my videogaming life has disintigrated 18.6%.

now, I will return to my corner and cry.

ps has n e one seen commercials for the fall show heroes? it looks good. I like the chinese guy with either telekinesis or time control. not enough info yet. but A to the X.

Peas of Death

so I wake up this morning to a thunder clap at 8 54 AM and with out my contacts think it is raining hardcore. but no, when I put them in, its hail, the size of a pea. our gutters were filled with the hail, and overflowing. i would show you the picture, but im lazy, so i wont. the picture is out my front door,showing the hail enough to make it blurry across the street. when I took a [pee] in my upstairs bathroom, i thought the roof window was going to break, and soak my with peas of death. but i lived, and indy is freaked out like no other.

C'est moi

hehe thats the name of a store. But anyways its me, and if you're wondering who 'me' is then think to yourselves who else would post in french?? When your head hurts from thinking so much (hey its been a while since its been needed) just scroll to the bottom and find out which evil personnage has caused you all this grief. Alas I am home for a grand total of 24 hours. Ain't that just exciting? Well no actually its not, cuz here I am hiding in my room and packing AGAIN before I embark on yet another adventure (or more specifically re-embark on an already started adventure). Yes you guessed it: I'm back off to camp (qwanoes that is) to do mucho dishes and make nada dinero. But hey its fun so what can you do? But the real question you should all be asking is how long will my french manicure last in dish pit? Not very long if Jackson has anything to do with it. But here I am missing all you guys because I havn't seen you all in FOREVER and that makes me sad. I hope you all had fun partying it up on the boats. Well what to tell you? CIT was amazing. God did some pretty cool things with our group and I think you're going to see some pretty excited SDBC youth come back from camp. I personally learnt a lot about myself and God and I cried more than I ever have in my life. But with tears come healing so here I am happy and excited about God! I hope all of your summers have been as rewarding as mine has been so far. I will see you all in three weeks when I come back for good (joy for cheer boot camp :S ). Until then lots of love

Ministry Team... The Return

Hello friendies. Just a reminder that there is Ministry Team this Sunday. We'll meet 5:30-6:30 in the Youth Centre. Please try to come on time, since I want to have lots of time to talk about ideas for Sr. High events in August and beyond. I'd like everyone coming to try to come up with at least one idea for a Sr. High event we could do this summer, and offer some explanation of how we would actually get it done (i.e. What kind of stuff would we need? How would we get the word out? What is the focus/goal of the event, etc.).

If you haven't come to Ministry Team yet and are interested in joining, please send me an e-mail at mynameisfinch@hotmail.com

Finch, out.

i'm still wondering....

wednesday!

hey amigos, does anyone know what's happening on wednesday for the senior highs? I haven't gotten an email, so I figured it must not be firmed up yet, or someone knows something I don't. What's going on?

missing you

hey everyone,

i thought i'd write a quick hello to my wonderful & amazing senior highs back at home. i'm having an incredible summer here at qwanoes as the cit counselor. i have seen God do some amazing things in the last three weeks - i wish i had the time to write them all out. if you get a chance, pray for me and the cit's here at camp. it's going to be a long, hot, tiring week and we need all the help we can get!

anyway, i love & miss all of you - let me know how you're doing!

Chilliwack Fair--- August 10 -13

I will give the times later*

P.N.E--- August 18-22

ugh! not busy enough!

..and it was right. sorta. i'm not writing about the fortune cookie. i'm writing about the fact that i feel like my summer is going to waste. even with vbs, saltspring, work, and leaving for "back east" in a couple weeks, i still feel like i'm not doing enough with my time. maybe it's because i'm not really enjoying anything i do with my time (aside from vbs- i love my kids!). it feels like i'm being drained emotionally and physically instead of getting something out of the things i do. so, getting to the point and getting out of hyper-emo mode, anybody up for a trip to the art gallery (vancouver) next week? or maybe even a movie? that is, if any of you are experiencing similar feelings of loss of point/purpose...

*as an afterthought... strange how i'm completely exhausted, and yet i feel like i have to do more.

:)

This entry has two topics I must present to the public that is SD's senior high:
The first is that this Thursday (I don't know if you've heard) there is a Saltspring 'reunion' at 8:30ish at the church (me thinks). I don't know who to contact about it... I guess just show up. Probably talk to Grant about it; I'm just the messenger.

Secondly; if anyone is free tonight, I kind of want to go out for dinner... Let me know!!

Cultus

Hey is anyone planning to go to Cultus waterslides next weekend. I just found out that Senior Highs can go as well and I was wondering if anyone was going. Let me know!!!

Rock MY Shazbot

I don't know why I chose that title.

K, so I'm home from camp, and want to see Superman Returns and those dag'd Pirates. Yar. "Bootstrap's bootstraps..." k, so ya.

P.S. this isn't an actual P.S., but anyways. I decided to rock out a Mohawk. Nothing drastict, just some basic stuffs yo. I plan on sending somepicktures to B n' H for approval before I expose it to the public, but I willeventually, no matter the verdict.

pirates tonight??

i heard around last night @ the bbq that there's a movie on tonight? the new pirates?? is it still on for tonight?

Just wondering

Hey friends
Is there senior high stuff tonight? Cause I'm a little confused about whether were combined with junior high or not or were supposed to be coming to volleyball bbq or what?

song of the summer, like it or not

i actually found this on one of the netcomic sites i frequent (i'm an undercover dork)... ps. i better see ALL OF YOU @ the bbq/indoor vball tournie tonight (6:30- SDBC)!!!

Syd Barrett dies...

Well everybody....Syd Barrett has died (on Friday). I know none of you know who he is, but he was one of the founding members of Pink Floyd, which happens to be my favourite band in the whole entire universe. He died of diabetes at the age of 60.

Just thought I'd let you all know about what an important day is July 11, 2006.

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn,
Ben
