YFC - Central Illinois Youth Network

Bowling and Lunch are Free - - are you?

2006-03-29T16:27:00.000-06:00

Youth Worker/Pastor/Partner and Friend,

Here are some bowling tips that I use

- Ask to have the bumpers up
- Roll more than one ball
- Eat healthy before bowling – then at least you will have eaten healthy
- Don’t leave your bowling ball outside when it’s -20 deg F
- Use a bowling ball like the one above

Whatever your bowling technique – come bowl with us. There will be prizes - - - - but not necessarily for best bowling.

Thursday April 6 – 11:30 a.m. meet for lunch at The Christian Center Grille – Burgers, Brownies, Drinks, Fries

Bowling is free

Lunch is free

You say that you might not be free??

Try to get free - - we need each other and it’s time for some fun.

Bradley makes Sweet 16

Cool things I experienced recently:

Bradley Braves reached 3rd round of NCAA's before falling to Memphis - - Wow - my alma mater did me proud!

A divorced buddy of mine remarried! Here's the Catch => His second wedding was to his wife that he divorced so many years ago! God is Good!

My partnership with like-minded friends kept me from despair this week - I've been carrying a rather heavy load ... and the love and prayers and conversation with like-minded Christ followers was it - I need em!

Following Jesus, Before Leading Others...

This Network Rocks

This Network Rocks! Eating lunch with 40+ like-minded friends, including birthday cake, was great!

Talking / dreaming / praying together about a Christian partnership that honors Jesus’ charge to us that we be unified and prayerful was hugely encouraging.

Next time we gather is 3/2/2006 - - drop an email to Jeff at oneheartbeatministries@hotmail.com or Dan at dlearned@yfcpa.org to learn more!

A Prayer –

Lord, as we head into 2006, I need your wisdom. I have many ideas about my and our primary focus for 2006. Please Clarify! James 1:5 says: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” I do. And I am.
