Revolution (Grace Vineyard Youth Group)

Hey all,  don't forget to wear your sport shoes tomorrow night.  Closed toed, shoes that you can run in will be important.  If there is heavy rain our plans may change.  Be prepared for a lot of fun. 

2 other things that I'd like to draw to your attention:

1. I have had several students ask to have a costume party night.  I always hesitate to do this at Halloween time.  Parents will be upset.  Halloween has a history that Christian students should be aware of.  It has a very evil past.  However, I am willing to make plans to have a costume party on an upcoming Wednesday, and we will announce details about that tomorrow night.  Just know that some parents will be upset, and I will have to deal with that.  But it is your youth group!

2. We have had quite a few contests here and it is high time for another one.  So here you go:

Worship Art/Photoshop contest--Your job is to present the idea of worship in any of its forms, be it worship of God, or the worship of an idol in a visually artistic way.  You may use MS Paint, Adobe Illustrator, Flash, Photoshop, scan in your own drawing, or use any other visual art method that ends up with a digital image in your own MePage gallery.  Contest will close on October 31st, and will be judged by the Grace Vineyard pastoral staff.  Prize will be 2 free movie tickets.  Once you have put the image up, you must notify Pastor Ryan with a message on his MePage. 

Images will be disqualified if they contain the following (just because): Pokemon or any other known copywrited character; any image depicting violence, obscenity, or anything illegal; anything that is otherwise deemed offensive; 

Points will be awarded for artistic quality, thoughtfulness, and originality.  Have fun!
