The young adults ministry strives to be the hands and feet of Jesus, and we really enjoy doing this in creative ways (remember the dance marathon?) so...
We held, for the first time ever, a YAM sponsored bowling benefit. And it was fantastic! Approximately 80 bowlers joined our efforts to help those in our church who have been hit hard by these economic times. I'm not sure how much we raised exactly (another leader has those figures), but we raised a lot. Seeing so many people come out to support our efforts was very encouraging! I'm amazed over and over how generous those in our church are.
So THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

COOKIES!!! Nom nom nom nom nom.
The Second Annual Christmas Cookie Cookoff was great! There were so many entries - lots and lots of really good cookies.
So naturally, we need to announce the winners. That way you know which people to see to order cookies :).
First Day of School Classic (chocolate chip cookies) - Jen
Italian Bakery Knockoff - Rachel G. (red velvet creme filled cookie yumminess)
Hey, That's Not a Cookie - Bekki (tiny cupcakes - they were gluten free too!)
Best Overall - Taron (lemon delish cookies. I don't know what they are officially called, but they were lemon. And they were delicious)
Thank you all of you who made cookies. And thanks to everyone who didn't but did a great job of judging and eating. Seriously, I had a great time!
The extra cookies (and there were a LOT of extra cookies) will be going to the Nativity. So, naturally, I'm going to include a Nativity plug. This weekend, Dec 18, 19 & 20, is the LAST weekend of the Nativity for 2009. The next one won't be for another whole year! So come join us 5-8pm. Or better yet, you can come help out and be in a scene.

Are you ready to RUMBLLLLLLLEEEEE!!!
Okay, so we have this really nice, concise upcoming events section on this page. But what DO these events entail?!?! I will tell you.
November 11 - SUNDAY LUNCH (at the church). You may be thinking "Jen, this is totally self-explanatory." And you are mostly right. However! Make sure that if you have any friends that are around that don't know about it, you let them know. Because seriously, free food pretty much rocks socks. And it's in the Common Grounds cafe at church (the triple room beyond the nursery).
December 13 - SUNDAY LUNCH (at a restaurant). I think we may be going to Applebee's, but who knows for sure. It's a way to get together and get to know each other over a nice plate of your choosing. It's nativity time, so off-site works way better. Join us, and bring some moolah, as YAM can't cover everything.
December 15 - CHRISTMAS COOKIE COOK-OFF!! This was so much fun last year. It'll be in place of our normal Bible Study, so it's at the Candys and at 7:30pm (and it's a Tuesday night). Bring your favorite cookie - or at least the one you are the greatest at making. The categories are chocolate chip cookies, Italian bakery knock-off, and not-technically a cookie (or something along those lines). Prizes for the winners.
December 22 - COLLEGE CHRISTMAS BASH! Every year, college students migrate back home for the holidays. And since we only see them occasionally, we might as well celebrate when we do! So, this party is primarily for the college kids, because we love them! If you don't fit into the description of "college student" but still want to come, you can, but remember! Our purpose is to make the college students feel welcome and loved. Because really, we love them.
January 3 (2010 - eek!) - ICESKATING IN PHILADELPHIA - We'll be going over to a rink in Philly to enjoy some ice skating. We'll have more details later - time, cost, etc - so look for those to come. And after skating, we'll find a nice place to eat something warm and yummy.

Back to Marlton!
The Candys are officially ready to have us back for Tuesday Night Bible Study! We've been other various places while they've been renovating their house. So, if you are interested in joining us for a time of fellowship and learning more about who Jesus is (as we study the Gospel of Mark), we'll be at
105 Evans Road
Marlton, NJ 08053
And please park at the school a couple spots down from the Candys. Otherwise, things get a little congested.
Thanks! and hope to see you there!
