Mystery Dinner, Friday 2/10

Who Stole the Cookies

 

Dear JAM students, we need your help–a heinous crime has been committed in our library:  Someone stole the cookies right under our nose!  When Mrs. Bookworm, the librarian, opened the fundraising cookie cupboard this morning she was shocked.  The cupboard, where the fundraising cookies had been kept, was empty.  Lucky for us, Master Sherlock Holmes is here to investigate.  We have no doubt that the perpetrator will be caught.  The list of suspects are:

 

Alice (In Wonderland) Cinderella
Snow White Peter Pan
Little Red Riding Hood Dorothy
Goldilocks Aladdin

 

However, Master Holmes can’t solve this crime by himself. Come join us for a night of fun and mystery on Friday, February 10th, at 7:30 PM.  Dinner will be provided.  Please RSVP with Micaela Lum to sign up for a character.

Date & Time:  Friday, Feb 10th, 7:30 PM
Cost: $5

Note:  Dinner is included in the cost

Jam will be hosting a Valentine’s Mystery Night on Fri., February 10th at 7:30 pm.

  • Dinner will be provided, so please bring $5 to cover the cost of food.
  • Sign up with Micaela to find out which mystery character you will be dressing as.

We look forward to a night filled with food, fun, and games! Hope that everyone will be able to attend!

Ever wonder what goes on with all that noise coming from JAM Sunday School? Take a look at the gallery below. Teaching junior high students is never easy–it takes lots of patience and creativity. We are very blessed to have WeeYen Lim from Mustardseeds lead the Bible study over chapter 5 on New Commandments and a New Covenant this past Sunday. At the end of the month we will have another one of our own, Mandy Foster, to come and lead JAM Sunday school. Please pray for these new bold teachers!

Here’s the reading schedule for the next few weeks:

Date chapter(s)
1/22 7
1/29 8-9
2/5 10-12
2/12 13-16

Hello!

Wasn’t today really tiring? All I wanted to do was stay in bed, but then my dad came knocking at my door threatening to leave me behind at home and miss the first day of school. I must admit… it was a tempting offer. But alas, when i tired to send this email out this morning at the school library my brain must still be on vacation mode, because I could not think of anything to say. Sigh…now we have to start waking up early and start doing homework again. Why winter break?! Why must you go so soon? Anyway, this is going to be a very exciting year in SRHI. Already I cannot wait for our next Youth Retreat on Feb 18-20 and the new sweatshirts. I will tell you more about those events in due time. Don’t let the suspense kill you.

Speaking of suspense, how many of you saw Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol? If you didn’t it was a pretty good movie, but for those who have I hope you took good notes, because this Friday we will be having a Secret Agent Themed Night with a message from Pastor Tim about Spiritual Warfare. I know already this year is looking pretty intense…like boy scouts in summer… anyway I leave you with this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObmXBy2IyaM


Have a Good Evening and God Bless You,

Nathan Ng
