Just a quick post to remind all my Stoneridge peeps that coming up on December 18th at Stoneridge Fellowship Church, is COLLIDE! For those of you who don’t know, Collide is the monthly (well… every-so-often-monthly) youth worship service for grades 7 – 12 students. Pastor James and Pastor Mark, along with an entire team of leaders, put hours and hours of work into this event for you! So bring some friends, bring some energy (Redbull is encouraged, if your parents allow it)  and show up at Stoneridge fellowship at … hmm … not sure of the time. Probably somethign like 7:30 or 8.  I’ll say 7:30 to be safe. There’s  gonna be some awesome music thanks to the Collide band, some pretty sweet drama skits, prizes, food (i think), and a coffee house afterwards, featuring some awesome acts by Stoneridge Youth Band. (lame name i know, maybe we can come up with somethign new).

Yeah, so bring out friends, and get ready to meet with God on December 18th!

I decided to start another series called Character Highlights, where I’ll post an article that analyzes, discusses, and essentially highlights key passages dealing with a certain Biblical character. While I don’t profess to be a theological scholar or even a talented writer, I think it might be interesting to share my take on certain characters from the Bible, as it will perhaps spark up a new perspective within the readers!  I’ll try to lace the articles with as much humor as possible, to lighten up the mood, while ensuring to enforce the biblical backbone of scripture.

Thought it would be interesting to throw up some of the brand-names or logos that have made there way into my life. Not really sure why.

For the past few months, I’ve been diggin this new youth group, Shiloh, which is based out of the Rock church in Lower Sackville. They have a great worship team and an amazing leadership staff. Pastor Mike Miller, the youth pastor at the Rock church, bring an energetic, humorous (and mildly sarcastic) tone to the night. The band, Fourth Man has a unique sound to their worship style, that illuminates the night with the presence of God. The services are at 7:30pm on Wednesday nights, and I strongly suggest those of you who are in junior high, all the way up to college/university attend! It’s a great way to meet people, and an even better way to meet God.

There are a number of events that Shiloh Youth has hosted over the past few years, a highlight of which, is the Shiloh Youth Conference. Hundreds of teens come from all over the Atlantic Provinces to spend a weekend connecting with God.  Huge names come in to speak – Elijah Waters from Seattle came in this year – and many more, along with talented musicians, and other key youth leaders throughout Canada.  Shiloh has also had in some big Christian band names such as Starfield and Bluetree. Check out the Shiloh Youth Website for more information!

Another amazing element to the Shiloh youth group is the concept of “cadres”. Started by Jeanne Mayo, if I’m correct, the whole idea of cadres is to focus on personal relationships with mature Christian mentors. Each cadre has a leader who pours into the lives of the cadre members, whether it be through direct fellowship, constant communication, or steadfast prayer. If you’re looking for something like this, and live in the near proximity of Sackville, NS, I suggest you come out and give it a try!

So if you have nothing to do on Wednesday night, or if you’re interested in listening to some great local musicians, or putting up with a comedic, Abercrombie-Model-Look-a-like youth pastor, Shiloh is for you!

Oh and for you guys out there, YES, there are pretty girls.
