Council of Youth: Prayer and Praise and I'll Fight Fest
Wednesday, August 31, 2005
Dear Metro Youth,
This is an exciting time as the Holy Spirit continues to move and stir up the youth in the Metropolitan Division and in The Salvation Army. Since Youth Councils I have seen teens and young adults give their lives to Christ, thirst for God’s Word, Worship in Spirit and in Truth, pray without ceasing and accept their inheritance as Believers and specifically as Salvationists.
I just wanted to fill you in on a few things.
On Friday, September 23rd at 7pm we are kicking off a new Metro event called Council of Youth: Prayer and Praise. These will be nights of fellowship, prayer, praise and teaching for our Metro youth that will happen one Friday night each month. We are planning eight of these Council of Youth meetings from September through April for the rest of the year. If your corps is interested in hosting one of these events please have your Officer or Youth Pastor contact me. See the following dates below:
September
Friday 23 – Council of Youth: Prayer and Praise (sleepover kickoff) 7pm Mt. Greenwood Corps
Saturday 24 – I’ll Fight Fest (Echo Grove Camp, Michigan)

This first event is special as we are sleeping over at the Mt. Greenwood Corps and then we are going up to Eastern Michigan the next morning to attend I'll Fight Fest at Echo Grove Camp (Go to http://illfightfest.com for more info). I'll Fight Fest begins at 1pm at Echo Grove and ends at 6pm. Captains Stephen Court and Danielle Strickland (from YouthQuake) will be there as will the Supertones, John Reuben, Flatfoot 56, Seeker’s Plant, Skuf, Stephanie Smith and it will also be the Insyderz last show. Cost is $10 per ticket. It will be well worth it. Because the journey is long the Pontiac Corps (Majors Jim and Pat Irvine) have offered to house us Saturday night at the Corps. We also have the opportunity to participate in the Sunday meeting at the Pontiac Corps the next morning.
If you are interested in attending I'll Fight Fest please contact your Officer or Youth Pastor and let me know as soon as possible the following information:
-If your group will attend the Council of Youth: Prayer and Praise on 9/23 (and if so, how many)
-If your group will send chaperones with the group (and if so, how many)
-If your group will be willing to help drive to and from I'll Fight Fest
I hope you are well and—because this event is coming up quickly—hope to hear from you soon.
Grace,
Eric Himes
