...existing to know Jesus and make Him known...

At Walla' Pres, we try to be real, fun, intentional, relevant, and growing. We want everyone who runs into us to feel welcomed and valued... wherever they are in their lives and their walk with the Lord. Sometimes we do that, other times we miss the goal; but that's ok... we aren't expected to be perfect!

Feel free to drop by sometime, read more about us and see what we're up to on our blog and facebook, or check out the links to the right. Come grow with us...

November Calendar & Events

click to enlarge
Take look at what's coming up, as we have some different things in November than usual...                    ...for example:

November 6th: No Youth Group; instead, come to our Fall Uber-Good Dinner & Talent Show! Heck, you can be IN the talent show! Just let me know ASAP and you can sing/dance/juggle/mime/yo-yo/unicycle/act/fall/play to your heart's content!

November 22nd: Thanksgiving eve-eve Worship Service and Dessert. Any youth and/or family who can bake/make a taste-sensation in dessert form, bring it for this evening event. I (and other leaders) will be making espresso drinks and italian sodas to accompany your desserts! (let me know if you can do this, or if you can help!)

November 27th: Ok, this one takes some explaining; It's "Stone Soup Sunday", where everyone brings an ingredient to morning worship, and WE (youth) make soup for a big ol' lunch at noon. After that, we have our Annual Turkey Bowl football game out in the yard! The more come, the easier the work and the more EPIC the game! (also, no evening  youth group due to the epicness of the afternoon)
The 27th is also the first Sunday in Advent, where we look toward the coming of our Lord, Jesus... at his birth 2000+ years ago, as well as the future hope we have of his return to the earth. (virtual Advent Calendar w/ videos:  http://www.paperlesschristmas.org.uk/)

I hope to see you at youth group, during the weeks, and throughout the month!

Wanna Go Deeper?

Wednesdays at 6:45pm in the Youth Caves we are studying the Gospel of Mark; what it meant to Jesus' followers, and what it means to us today. In between readings and thoughts we'll play games, drink rootbeer, and generally be chill. Both Mid-high and Sr-High are invited to come. Bring your Bible and let's figure this whole thing out together!

SLAMQUEST!!! (mid-high camp)


November 11th - 13th will find us up at Ghormley Meadow for Mid-High SLAMQUEST.

The cost is $75* for the entire time. We'll leave from the church around 3:30pm on Friday (bring a sack dinner for the road!) and come back around 3:30pm on Sunday (We won't have CREW on the 13th). Be sure to register through the Ghormley site!

"We live in a crazy world that send all sorts of crazy messages! What we need is to FOCUS. Come join us for a great weekend as we look at the book of Ephesians and what we need to do to get our attention back in the right direction. You don't want to miss an awesome weekend of worship, crazy games, good food, and important lessons from God's Word!"
