Hey Everybody,
Here are some news items:
1. Next Sunday, November 26 is the Advent Festival. We are in charge of the worship service. We will be practicing at YF this week. Please try to be there!
2. The Lock-In will be Friday-Saturday December 1-2. We will be giving you more details at YF tomorrow.
3. Unfortunately I do not think we will be able to do a bake sale this year. Amy and I have not been able to to get it organized in time.
4. YF is in charge of Fellowship Hour after church on Sunday mornings for the month of December. Please ask your parents if they can help us with that.
That's it! See you tomorrow night!

A Week Off
Hey Everybody,
Thanks to everyone who came to YF last Sunday. We had a fun time going out for ice cream. We missed everyone who couldn't make it. We will miss you for a little bit longer since we will not be having YF on Sunday October 15. Amy and I will be away for the weekend. If you need us for anything feel free to give us a call on our cell phones.
During the week off I want to encourage you guys to think about some things that you would like to do this year. The first few weeks of YF have been really great, but I've noticed that our attendance has been a little low. I realize that you guys are all pretty busy, but I really want to make YF something that not only fits into your schedule, but something that you really feel is important to you.
Amy, Micah and I have a lot of ideas but we need your help too. Let us know what you like and what you don't like about YF. Let us know some things that you think would make it more interesting and relevant to your life. Let us know what we can do to reach out to people who haven't attended in a while. We are committed to making this a great year for our group, but this group doesn't belong to us... it belongs to you! Stand up and help us make YF something really special.
If you have any ideas or any comments feel free to call us or e-mail us. You can reach me at kuiken@bc.edu or Amy at Amy.Cram@gordon.edu. I hope you all have a great week off. We will miss you and look forward to seeing you on the 22nd.

Possible Adventure
Hey Everyone,
Once again I apologize for being out of touch for so long. This summer has been absolutely insane for Amy and me. Amy has just finished her Masters thesis and now we will be moving over the course of the next two weeks! Needless to say, our hopes and plans for summertime fun with you guys hasn't quite materialized like we wanted.
But, we do have an opportunity to hang out this weekend! Our dear friend Emily Butt will be returning from her summer of fun with the Marines. Her parents will be hosting a party for her up in Milton, New Hampshire... and we're all invited! If you've never been to Emily's NH home, it's right on a lake so there is plenty of swimming, tubing and other activities. The festivities will take place for most of the day so you can come anytime you want. If you are interested in coming this weekend call me (Jon) at 551-206-7682 to let us know. We won't be able to give many rides since we will be moving, but you could call Vicky Butt at 781-233-4650 to get directions and maybe catch a ride. In any event, let me and Amy know if you want to come and we can help make sure that you can get there. We hope to see a bunch of you this weekend!

Finally Some News
Hey Everyone,
I'm so sorry that Amy and I have been out of the loop for the last month. We've had quite a lot of things going on in our lives. Amy has been finishing up her Masters thesis, working, interviewing for jobs and generally trying to stay sane. I have been doing much of the same.
Unfortunately it looks like a lot of our plans for this summer have gone up in smoke. My job doesn't allow me much time off and some other things have sprung up to ruin some of our ideas. So let me begin by saying that there will not be a big trip this summer down to New Jersey. The only weekend that I could organize the trip for was the weekend of August 25-27. We found out a few weeks ago that Amy's best friend is going to be getting married that weekend... so that put an end to our plans.
Don't worry though! We still have some great ideas for activities. We have a few suggestions and we want you guys to think of some too. Some ideas I've had are:
1. A beach day - we could all go and hang out for a day of fun in the sun, surf and sand
2. A North Shore Spirit game - Nothing says summer like baseball!
3. A game day - we could play football, frisbee or even garbage can basketball
If you guys have any suggestions, just e-mail me at Kuiken@bc.edu. I'll let you know what is going on. I promise to do better about updating the blog. Thanks, hope to talk to you all soon!
