Annual Meeting

Sorry guys, this is just a reminder that the Annual Meeting is happening tomorrow night so youth group is canceled. Here is a little something to do with your time instead! Enjoy!

Max Dirt Bike

Thanks

Thank you to Chelsey G, Matthew and Chirsty for helping me clean the church. My guess is we finished 4 times as fast than if I had done it myself. Anyways I really appreciate it.

Coming Clean

Hey everyone, just a reminder that we are on cleaning this week and that due to scheduling and weather I wasn't able to nab some of you after school any day this week to help me out! SOOOOOOO, here is the deal: If you are able to come help me clean tomorrow comment or email or call or whatever and we will get together here and clean and I will get us a pizza to celebrate cleanliness. Sound good?

MCC Open House

Hey Guys, since I know that many of you are going to attend Maritime Christian College for at least one year I thought I would let you know about their open house March 12-15. This is a time when you can go sit in on free classes and experience college life! For more information see me or email Kevin MacKay.

McFormal - I'm Lovin It!!!

Hey guys, Happy Valentines Day! I hope you enjoyed the McFormal. Remember the premise though guys, God has a plan for you relationships! Why Settle for McDonalds when God has something much better in store! Enjoy!

What to wear at the McFormal?

Here is your first glimpse of the McFormal!!! If you took pictures at the McFormal, please send them to me in an email so I can put them in a cool presentation!

McFormal

Hey Guys! This is just reminder that on Monday February 12 we are having a McFormal!! What is a McFormal you ask? It is the greatest Valentines event of the month! (That's right, even bigger than Valentines Day!) You will be getting your hair done, putting on that new dress, waxing your mustache and learning how to tie a tie, you will be wearing your finest deodorant and going to dine the exquisite tastes of McDonalds! The cost is 5$ and we will be leaving here at 6:30 to be at McDonalds at 7:00 so don’t be late! Your Parents can pick you up at the church around 9:00.


P.S. If your parent can drive please comment or get them to call me!!

Change of Plans

Because of the extreme cold we will all meet at the church to play games instead of sliding. Sorry. If it helps we will still have hot chocolate!!!

Sliding

On Monday Night we will be going to Lucas Browns place to go sliding! Meet there at 6:30 and you will need to be picked up at 9:00. Bring a sled and dress warm!!!!

Relax

In light of the recent comments on the previous post allow me to rebut. I had always intended on having youth group next week so you can all plan on being there. I am glad to see your enthusiasm about youth group, I don't like missing it either. I was disappointed by some of the comments I have been receiving however. Especially that the "X" always gives the students from Nackiwic the short end of the stick. I don't believe that is the case and would shudder to think that anyone feels that way. I can't really think of how the recent cancellations of youth group do that since they were due to weather.

In the future, if anyone has a beef with youth group, it would be better to send me an email rather than a public comment. Thanks.

There Is Actually Youth Tonight!

I just thought I should post something here so that no one would check the blog and see "Sorry guys, no youth!

Anyways the first person to comment on this post will WIN a... pop from Dan's MINI FRIDGE!!!

Sorry Guys...

Sorry Guys, but due to the weather, we are going to have to cancel Youth Group agains this week! I am really sorry but as you can see----> we are under a winter storm warning.

Here was the only real important notice in the newsletter:

Monday Jan 22 – There will be no HIGH SCHOOL youth group because of EXAMS! That is right, when you have to write huge tests in math, English, science, physics, cheese appreciation, chemistry, biology, BBT, Phys Ed, music, bird watching, art, media studies, history, underwater fire prevention, world issues, theatre arts, law or anything of the sort you need all the study time you can get! Good Luck! – Jr. High youth is still on.

In consideration of exams coming up next week, I thought this would be fun!

50 fun things to do durning an exam.

1. Bring a pillow. Fall asleep (or pretend to) until the last 15 minutes. Wake up, say "oh geez, better get cracking" and do some gibberish work. Turn it in a few minutes early.

2. Get a copy of the exam, run out screaming "Andre, Andre, I've got the secret documents!!"

3. If it is a math/science exam, answer in essay form. If it is long answer/essay form, answer with numbers and symbols. Be creative. Use the integral symbol.

4. Make paper airplanes out of the exam. Aim them at the instructor's left nostril.

5. Talk the entire way through the exam. Read questions aloud, debate your answers with yourself out loud. If asked to stop, yell out, "I'm SOOO sure you can hear me thinking." Then start talking about what a jerk the instructor is.

6. Bring cheerleaders.

7. Walk in, get the exam, sit down. About five minutes into it, loudly say to the instructor, "I don't understand ANY of this. I've been to every lecture all semester long! What's the deal? And who the heck are you? Where's the regular guy?"

8. Bring a Game Boy (or Game Gear, etc...). Play with the volume at max level.

9. On the answer sheet (book, whatever) find a new, interesting way to refuse to answer every question. For example: I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it conflicts with my religious beliefs. Be creative.

10. Bring pets.

11. Run into the exam room looking about frantically. Breathe a sigh of relief. Go to the instructor, say "They've found me, I have to leave the country" and run off.

12. Fifteen minutes into the exam, stand up, rip up all the papers into very small pieces, throw them into the air and yell out "Merry Christmas." If you're really daring, ask for another copy of the exam. Say you lost the first one. Repeat this process every fifteen minutes.

13. Do the exam with crayons, paint, or fluorescent markers.

14. Come into the exam wearing slippers, a bathrobe, a towel on your head, and nothing else.

15. Send a replacement wearing your clothes and a name tag (this works better if you send a member of the oppisite sex)

16. Do the entire exam in another language. If you don't know one, make one up! For math/science exams, try using Roman numerals.

17. Bring things to throw at the instructor when s/he's not looking. Blame it on the person nearest to you.

18. As soon as the instructor hands you the exam, eat it.

19. Walk into the exam with an entourage. Claim you are going to be taping your next video during the exam. Try to get the instructor to let them stay, be persuasive. Tell the instructor to expect a percentage of the profits if they are allowed to stay.

20. Every five minutes, stand up, collect all your things, move to another seat, continue with the exam.

21. Turn in the exam approximately 30 minutes into it. As you walk out, start commenting on how easy it was.

22. Do the entire exam as if it was multiple choice and true/false. If it is a multiple choice exam, spell out interesting things (DAD. BABE. etc..).

23. Bring a black marker. Return the exam with all questions and answers completely blacked out.

24. Get the exam. Twenty minutes into it, throw your papers down violently, scream out "Foget this!" and walk out triumphantly.

25. Arrange a protest before the exam starts (i.e. Threaten the instructor that whether or not everyone's done, they are all leaving after one hour to go play tag)

26. Show up completely wiped. (This means you should have already been up for 30 to 40 hours.)

27. Every now and then, clap twice rapidly. If the instructor asks why, tell him/her in a very derogatory tone, "the light bulb that goes on above my head when I get an idea is hooked up to a clapper. DUH!"

28. Comment on how handsome/pretty the instructor is looking that day. 29. Come to the exam wearing a black cloak. After about 30 minutes, put on a white mask and start yelling "I'm here, the phantom of the opera" until they drag you away.

30. Go to an exam for a class you have no clue about, where you know the class is very small, and the instructor would recognize you if you belonged. Claim that you have been to every lecture. Fight for your right to take the exam.

31. Upon receiving the exam, look it over, while laughing loudly, say "you don't really expect me to waste my time on this drivel? Days of our Lives is on!!!"

32. Bring a water pistol with you. Nuff said.

33. From the moment the exam begins, hum the theme to Jeopardy. Ignore the instructor's requests for you to stop. When they finally get you to leave one way or another, begin whistling the theme your favorite Children’s show. (Winnie the Pooh etc.)

34. Start a brawl in the middle of the exam.

35. If the exam is math/science related, make up the longest proofs you could possibly think of. Get pi and imaginary numbers into most equations. If it is a written exam, relate everything to your own life story.

36. Come in wearing a full knight's outfit, complete with sword and shield.

37. Bring a friend to give you a back massage the entire way through the exam. Insist this person is needed, because you have bad circulation.

38. Bring cheat sheets FOR ANOTHER CLASS (make sure this is obvious... like history notes for a calculus exam... otherwise you're not just failing, you're getting kicked out too) and staple them to the exam, with the comment "Please use the attached notes for references as you see fit."

39. When you walk in, complain about the cold. Keep adding layers, sweaters, jackets parkas etc.
40. After you get the exam, call the instructor over, point to any question, ask for the answer. Try to work it out of him/her.

41. One word: Wrestlemania.

42. Bring balloons, blow them up, start throwing them around like they do before concerts start.

43. Try to get people in the room to do the wave.

44. Play frisbee with a friend at the other side of the room.

45. Bring some large, cumbersome, ugly idol. Put it right next to you. Speak to it often. Consider a small sacrifice.

46. Get deliveries of candy, flowers, balloons, telegrams, etc... sent to you every few minutes throughout the exam.

47. During the exam, take apart everything around you. Desks, chairs, anything you can reach.

48. Complete the exam with everything you write being backwards at a 90 degree angle.

49. Bring a musical instrument with you, play various tunes. If you are asked to stop, say "it helps me think." Bring a copy of the Student Handbook with you, challenging the instructor to find the section on musical instruments during finals. Don't forget to use the phrase "Told you so".

50. Answer the exam with the "Top Ten Reasons Why Professor xxxx Sucks"

DISCLAIMER: It is the opinion of the editor of this website that none of the above is a good idea!

You Know The Drill

Walka walka doo doo yeah! Ahem. As you all know there is no school today because of snow! Yea!!! This also means that there is no youth group tonight... Boooo! Sorry Lori!

Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad eh. Enjoy your day off!

Bored? Try these:

Blink wildly and then close your eyes really tight for an interesting light show
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
See a variety of blobs, stars and flashes. Try to make out shapes and see if your subconscious is trying to send you a message (perhaps that funny shape is saying, 'send all your money to Dan?)

See how long you can hold a note
(Amusement Potential: 4-20 minutes)
Not that much fun, but it sure passes the time. Play with a friend, or try to beat your own personal best. Inhale deeply and then try and make a noise for as long as you can. Earn extra points for making your partner laugh or ending on an amusing note.

Try to not think about penguins
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
This is especially hard, because by trying too much, you remember what you were trying to avoid thinking of. If you try too little, you end up thinking about penguins anyway.

Use your secret mind power
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Pick a passing by and try to use your mind power to command them do something, like drop their bag or knock into someone. The law of averages dictates that sooner or later one of your mind commands will come true, so you can convince yourself that you really have super human powers and waste even more time trying them out.

Scratch yourself
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Go ahead, scratch yourself now. Even if nothing itches, go ahead. Doesn't that feel pretty good?

Repeat the same word over and over until it loses its meaning
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Pick a random word out of a magazine and say it aloud to yourself until it becomes a meaningless set of noises.

Hurt yourself
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
What is pain? Why is it unpleasant? There's nothing physical about it - it's all in your mind. Plus, after pinching yourself for awhile, boredom will seem nice next to being in pain.

Try to swallow your tongue
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
There's not much to say about this one. It is possible, but really stupid.

Pretend to be a car
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Make appropriate revving noises in your head as you walk along and add a racing commentary as you pass strangers in the street. Use blinking eyes as indicators for extra authenticity.

Look at something for awhile, shut eyes, study after image
(Amusement Potential: 2-5 minutes)
Another great time waster. It takes about 30 seconds of staring to create an after image, and the image is then viewable for about the same length of time. Fun to combine this one with pushing on your eyes.

Get yourself as nauseated as possible
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Best achieved by looking straight up and spinning around. Try to be so dizzy you can't even stand up. This is also entertaining due to the "makes boredom seem a lot better" effect (see "Hurt Yourself").

Invent a weird twitch
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Adopt a bizarre twitch (e.g. flicking your head irregularly, twitching with eye or busting out sporadic cough noises) and try it out when you go shopping.

Make a low buzzing noise
(Amusement Potential: 15-30 minutes)
Hours of fun in libraries! Keeping a totally straight face and looking nonchalant, make a low pitch humming/buzzing noise and see who reacts.

Have a good day!

New Year

Hey Guys, Happy New Year!!! Well the break is over and you know what that means! That's right its time to buy Dan an expensive gift! Just kidding, but tomorrow night is the first Sunday Night Live of the New Year. It will be at Nasis United so make sure you are here at the church by 5:30 Sunday Afternoon if you would like to come.

Also Monday is the first Youth Group of the new year and we will be meeting as usual with the Middle School group at 6:30pm and the High School group at 8:00pm.

Merry Christmas

Hey Everyone, I know that there are many of you that I will not see until the new year so I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Christmas is a wonderful time of the year but I know that it isn't all jingle bells and holly for everyone. I understand that, it isn't for me either and I will be praying for all of you. Nonetheless, I hope each of you have an awesome Christmas with your families reminiscing of good times and enjoying being together.

If you want, you can use this post to wish others in the group Christmas wishes over the break. It would be a neat way for us to all stay connected even when we don't see each other.

Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year.

Christmas Party Info

Dating Series - Relient K - Overthinking

I was thinking, over thinking
Cause there's just many scenarios
To analyze, look in my eyes
Cause your my dream please come true
I was thinking, over thinking
About exactly how I'm not exactly him
I'll break my heart in two
More times than you could ever do
Cause your my dream please come true

Cause I think way too much
On a one track mind
And your so out of touch
Cause I'm so far behind

[Chorus]
I can't deny this any more
The facts ignored all done before
And if there's one in this world
You let me know you're not that girl

I was sinking, lower sinking
Cause I lost the things I held on to
They let me think a thought
A thought that I would know was not
Of seeing my dream come true
I was thinking, over thinking
About how far I had let this go
One more guy/girl cliche
I know now you're just in the way
Of me and my dream come true

Cause I think way too much
On a one track mind
And your so out of touch
Cause I'm so far behind
I'm trying to make sense
Out of all of this
While your fading scent
Just slips through my grip

[Chorus]

Don't touch the positive with a negative end
Don't touch the positive with a negative end
Cause after all of the sparks you're left alone in the dark
Cause after all of the sparks you're left alone in the dark
And while I'm able I think I'll label
Experience with you as a mistake
And while I'm at it, I'll say I've had it
Experience with you as a mistake

Cause I think way too much
On a one track mind
And your so out of touch
Cause I'm so far behind

I'm trying to make sense
Out of all of this
While your fading scent
Just slips through my grip

I was thinking, over thinking
Cause there's just too many scenarios
To think about, to figure out
If you're my dream please come true

Dating Series - Song 4 Tricha (Princes and Frogs)

you hate men is what you say
and i understand how you feel that way
all girls dream of a fairy tail
but what you got's like a used car sales
man, trying to conceal what's wrong
behind a smile and a song
and i'm not saying that boys are not like that
but i think you should know
that some of us will grow
because...

all princes start as frogs
all gentleman as dogs
just wait till it's plain to see
what we're growing up to be..
coz some frogs will still be frogs
some dogs will still be dogs
but some boys can become men
just don't kiss us till then

Baptism - Congratulations Christy

Well in case you missed it or haven't heard. Christy was baptized into Christ on Sunday morning. Christy has made the most important decision in her life and I encourage you to pray for her as she enters her life with Christ. Here is a presentation to relive the day or see it for the first time!

If anyone has pictures please send them to me, my camera didn't work!

I Can't Believe it Changed AGAIN!!!

Ok! This is the last change of the Starfield plans, I promise. I got an email from an organizer of the event and as it turns out we can go to the Saint John Show at Market Square. This should mean that more of you can come because getting home at midnight on a Friday night is a little different than a weeknight so once again please let me know if you are interested!

Dating Series - Wonder (If She'll Get It)

Listen to this song!


dear diary i saw this guy at the show
he was singing to me at least i think so
all the world around me stopped when he said
(hi, what's up baby) he's the perfect guy
his hair his eyes oh i love his smile
when he opened the door knew he was worthwile
he looked so good standing right next to me
so beautiful i know our children will be
this time i know its true love

he is the one that i've been waiting for
i promise to love him forevermore
i've waited my whole life for the day i am his
i just know he's the
wonder what his name is

dear diary today i found a new guy
with a movie star face and the perfect lines
knight and shining armor hero to rescue me
he'll be so romantic just like in the movies
he'll play the role of a boyfriend for me
like in "Here on Earth" with leelee sobieski
there's just one problem something i might have missed
he's a movie star he doesn't know i exist
this time i know its true love

dear diary i thought my dreams had come true
last week i found the one to give my heart to
told all my friends about him even tried his last name
didn't see that to him, it was all just a game
he seemed so nice i've known him for a whole week
but my friends didn't like him didn't know him like me
no more crushes or rushes learn to be satisfied
with being single again...
-wait who's that guy? you are cute!

More Starfield stuff!

Starfield - BIG CHANGES

Ok so as it turns out the Starfield concert in Saint John on Friday October 6 is part of a Youth Conference that is going on that weekend that we are not attending, furthermore the concert is only for those attending the conference... i.e. not us...

SO! Here is the new harder and more complicated plan (more due to time than anything). There is a concert in Moncton too, which only a little further away but it is on Thanksgiving Monday at Moncton Wesleyan at 7:00pm which is on 945 George Boulevard. This means we would be back late on Monday night and you have school in the morning. If people are still interested we will still go. Let me know. Tickets are still the same price. I will post details like when and where you will be picked up and dropped off once we know if people are going.

Starfield

Ok everyone, we need to see what the interest in this concert is if we are going to go. If you weren't at the kick off and have no idea what I am talking about, allow me to elaborate. I know that many of you are disappointed that grades 9 and under cannot attend Exalt 2006. SO instead, or and if you are in grade 10 or higher, we would like to go to the Starfield concert in Saint John on Friday October 6th. The cost is only 10 dollars!

Who is Starfeild you ask? They are a Christian Band that is really good. You can listen to some of their music by clicking here. This should be a lot of fun but we will only go if there is enough interest. This means I need you to sign up either here or at youth group and let me know so that I can make the needed arrangements. So let me know!

Kick Off Pictures!

BBQ Help

If you should happen to come home from school and find yourself bored with nothing to do and God should prompt you (through this blog) to come help your friendly neighborhood Spider-Dan get ready for the BBQ tonight that would be great!

I will be here!

Will you?

GO TO THE "X"

You guys should come and check this out because it will be a TON of fun! Three Season Ant will be at the Exalt conference this year at MCC so it will be a good opportunity to hear them so you can sing along at their show in Charlottetown.

If you would like to go but need a lift please comment and we will do our best to make arrangements!!!

The Two Greatest Timers Like Ever!!!

Countdown to Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner

Let the hype for the new year begin, with the to coolest things ever. Man you never like to wish time away but this is intense! Below is the timer counting down until opening night of Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner. As Hockey Night In Canada ends, so does Hockey Night In BC with the Burtt's Corner Church of Christ Return Again!




Spider-Man 3

This timer is for Dan and mostly my own curiosity, oh yeah, May will be like the best month ever, not only bringing Hockey Night Back to Burtt's Corner But bringing Spider-Man 3 back to the box office.

VBS - Thank You!

Thank you to everyone in the "X" who helped out with VBS this past week. You guys were a big help and it would have been a very different week without you. Your willingness to serve and help out was refreshing and I know all of the leaders and organizers of the event appreciated your presence.

Tentover Pictures!

Pics From Girl's Night Out!

Enjoy

Tenting Over

Friday night, this is the deal. We will meet behind the church at 7:00pm to set up tents and all of that fun kind of stuff. At exactly 7:34ish pm we will go Keith Foreman's place to have a campfire and play fun and exciting games! After we have done that we will come back to the church around 10:00pm and play our annual night foot-ball game. When that is done you will be getting in your tents and SLEEPING!!!!! The next morning I will make your breakfast and your parents will pick you up at 10:00 am.

Any Questions?

Wednesday!!!!

Ok, so here is the deal, the TOTAL deal. Wednesday August 9th, we will be meeting at Wilson's Paintball at 6:15ish. This way we can play from 6:30 until 8:30. The cost is 23$ for gun rental and 180 paintballs or 35$ for gun rental and 500 paintballs. So you will have to decide what you want on that front. This will be a lot of fun. See you there!!!

Now, if you are not going paintballing and you are a GIRL!!!! Then you may attend instead the "Girl's Night Out" that is happening. If you would rather do that then you need to meet at the church at 5:30. You will then be driving to Boston Pizza for supper (you have to buy your own meal) and then going to the Foremans place to watch "She's the Man" and then be driven home.

Any questions... Comment.

Important NEWS!!!

Ok, so I forgot that Monday was a holiday! This means that Monday August 7th is New Brunswick day. This means that Youth Group will be cancelled. That's ok though because we are still going paintballing on Wednesday or a girls night out!! THEN the Tentover is on Friday. Please pass this message along as I know a vast majority of our group does not check the blog!! I will post details on Paintballing, girl's night out and the sleep over very soon... very. Tell everyone. Right now. GO!

Theres a New Blog In Town

Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner I am proud to say was very successful in its first meeting of the Summer. This was an evening of fun for those playing, along with those watching.
Spectators were treated to some wonderful Hockey, along with a showing of Coaches Corner in between game 1 and 2 on the Night. There was truly fun to be had, ask Christian and Jacob who put on the comedy act for us.
I encourage you to come out and watch if you never last week, and maybe even participate, we have a lot of fun and there is plenty more to come in the weeks ahead.
The Hockey Night in Burtt's Corner Blog address is:

Check out the Blog when you get the Chance, and come out Thursday
would Love to see you there!

" Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner" with the BCCOC

Disregard the picture above, Jesus is not a Vancover Canucks fan. Remember our lesson a couple weeks ago about how the team Jesus plays for is the Winning team. That only means of course that He is a Leafs fan. Go! Leafs Go!.
The actual purpose of this post is to inform you about Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner which will be happening for the first time July 13/2006 which is next Thursday.
I really hope that everyone will be able to show up to this event and help in keeping it going regularly during the summer. The cost is going to be $5.00 starting out, and we will be playing from 6:00pm- 8:00pm.
This will be a great oppurtunity for us to get to know each other better and to also have fun with some of the other people in the congregation because the age for playing is going to range from 12+.
Also for anyone not interested in playing Hockey with the gang, but is interested in just showing up to watch, I would like to give you a special job if you would be so gracious as to volunteer your services ( I think I spelled volunteer wrong...twice!)
Anyway thats all for now, until next time remember....
If the women don't find you handsome, they'll at least find you handy! (lol)
Keep your Stick on the Ice!
