CHEN Meeting, topic change

We have a change of topic for our Monday, October 25 meeting. Due to an upcoming surgery, Steve Ondrus will not be doing the internet safety seminar. Instead we will have Joshua, Jean Rance's son, do a talk on Worldview. Joshua was homeschooled, and has completed university successfully, I might add. This evening is also for teens. Joshua has a real desire to also help teens understand this topic, as it is near and dear to him, and very important for us all, especially our teens who are growing up in such a 'small' world, surrounded and influenced by so much different culture than that which surrounded us when we were their age. Come and join us for the evening!

Teen social date changed!

The social this week has been changed from Wednesday evening to Thursday.  Hope you can come!

Manhunt at the Gray’s

Thursday, October 14

6:30 – 9:00

Creation Ministries Presentation

Bethel Canadian Reformed Church
11251 Bayview Ave, Richmond Hill
(east side of Bayview between Stouffville Road and Elgin Mills)
7:30pm.
The purpose of this presentation is to equip Christians with biblical responses about events that happened in Genesis. This knowledge helps Christians to demolish arguments the world uses to convince people the Bible is not true.

Change in the teen social

Due to the weather we are changing our plans for tomorrow’s teen social.  Instead of games and swimming at the Bultje’s we will be meeting at the McLaughlin’s for indoor games, snacks, music, and social time.  If you play an instrument feel free to bring it along for a jam session.  The social will run from 6:30 – 8:30.  Our address is 30 Rogers Rd.  East Gwillimbury.  It is one road north of Green Lane off the west side 2^nd concession.  If you have any questions my phone number is 905-853-1380.

Meeting Dates for 2010-2011

Summer is almost gone, and it is time to start getting ready for the new school year. I hope you have all enjoyed this summer and did some relaxing and enjoyed some family time. Welcome to the new/old blog. I have managed to switch Luana's posts over to a new blog. Much of it will be the same. I have attached a calander as well. I will be posting more stuff here, rather than on the email loop, so be sure to check in regularly. (Don't worry, it won't be daily, as I do not have enough time for that! :-) )

I have scheduled the dates for the meetings for the year. They will be at 7pm. Generally the fourth Monday of the Month. I do not have all the topics planned yet, although I do have some ideas. I will talk about them at our first meeting. I hope to see you all at our first meeting, where you can also pay your membership fees for the year, and hear about some of the things that are planned for the year.
