Hello Youth, Parents and Volunteers,
Happy New Year! I trust that you all had an enjoyable holiday. I am excited to be back for our weekly gatherings to connect and build memories together. As we begin 2025 I just want to take a moment to remind you all that COR13 Youth exists for building meaningful relationships. We believe that even if we have faith that could move mountains, if we do not have love we are nothing. So our goal at COR13 Youth is to be a welcoming place where students will feel and experience the love of God in a meaningful and life changing way. Students can expect that we will have fun together, spend time worshipping God together (through music, prayer and biblestudy), and will grow closer together in small group times. COR13 Youth launches into 2025 this Friday, January 10th with lots to look forward to in the coming season, here is the plan for the coming weeks!
January Program Dates
Jan 10 – Regular Youth Night
Jan 17 – Regular Youth Night plus COR12 (at 5pm, pizza provided)
Jan 24 – Regular Youth Night
Jan 31 – Words of Encouragement!
Words of Encouragement
Every year, as one of our activities we spend a night writing encouraging notes to one another. This has become a much looked forward to activity for our youth group, and so we will set aside the entire youth night simply to focus on being encouraging! this is a youth night you do not want to miss!
SERVE!!!
Registration for SERVE in Whitehorse is now available on their website: cbwc.ca/serve
Students will need to register for SERVE and pay the registration fee themselves. We will work together to fundraise to cover the costs of travel and free day activity costs for the trip. This year we will be flying to Whitehorse, Yukon. This introduces 2 challenges that we have not had to face in previous years.
1) Cost. The cost for flying is quite a bit more than the cost of driving to closer locations has been in the past. As a result we need to stay on top of the fundraising. Students who want to be involved in SERVE should register as soon as possible so that I can begin working with those committed to making sure the fundraising keeps up with need.
2) Booking flights. I have been instructed to book flights in February if possible (due to an annual sale, and possible other opportunities available with the airline that I am exploring). But this means that I need numbers of committed participants by then! So if you are wanting to come to SERVE I need you to register on the website as soon as possible (before February ideally). I will consider any who have registered to be committed and will make all of the plans based on those numbers. So get on that registration as soon as you can.

Series on Dating
In the month of February, I will be speaking to the youth on the topic of dating, relationships and marriage. This series of messages will introduce the students to a biblical teaching on sexual morality, marriage and relationships. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this series please contact me.

Thank-you all once again for your continued support and prayer for the COR13 Youth Ministry. I truly believe that God is at work in the lives of the youth in our community, and I think COR13 Youth has a place in the mission that God is carrying out here. See you on Friday!
