Since  IGNITEyouth is having a Gladiator night tonight, I thought I would do a little background information answering any questions you may have.
Usually in English class we are told to use who/what/when/where and why? when doing research on stuff, so that is what i am going to do with the help of Google of course.

1. Who are Gladiators?
According to IMDB Russell Crowe is/was a Gladiator. (Incase you don’t know, IMDB also known as the Internet Movie DataBase and it (obviously) tells you about movies…)
2. What are Gladiators?
Wikipedia informed me that a Gladiator was an armed combatant who entertained audiences in the Roman Republic and Roman Empire in violent confrontations with other gladiators, wild animals, and condemned criminals
3. When were Gladiators?
1st century BCE, 2nd century CE and the 4th century CE. I wonder what happened to the 3rd?
And for those of you who don’t know what CE means, it means ‘Common Era’ here is the Wikipedia Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE
4. Where are Gladiators?
Ancient Rome/Roman Empire and all that Jazz.
5. Why are there Gladiators?
To entertain the King/Queen or Important people.

This is Russell Crowe as a gladiator:

So I can’t promise you that we will actually look like this at IGNITEyouth, or that we will try to kill each other for your entertainment. But one thing I can promise you is that you WILL NOT regret coming along to IGNITEyouth tonight, because it is going to be a blast!!!

So I know that you are now cancelling all other plans to make sure that you will be here at 6pm at the Church.

Keep Smiling : )

Tonight is Sale Show. Maybe when you were 6 it was cool but not any more. Youth is way cooler. So just to prove it here is ‘ten reasons why IGNITEyouth is better than Sale Show.’

This

or

fun times like this.

1. Our rides don’t break – this may be because we don’t have any rides…

2. It won’t cost you $15 to get in!

3. You can see the fireworks from here – FREE FIREWORKS!!

4. Cheaper food. $1 for chips instead of $10

5. The Show doesn’t even have the giant drop this year. We don’t have it either – but we never said we would.

6. You can eat cake here not just look at it.

7. We have good music and super cool games.

8. You don’t have to wait in line for half an hour.

9. Youth leaders are way cooler than carnies (and have all our teeth.)

10. We have Jesus!!

 So where are you going to be tonight? At the show waiting in line, spending money and getting yelled at by carnies? Or here with us being awesome??

See you tonight at 6 for youth, or at 8 for Ignition.

Stay classy IGNITEyouth

Tots love you bebs.

Lauren and Alison. Xx.

The most important question you will ever ask or answer, why am I here?
This question they won’t teach you at school, it’s something you need to figure out on your own… well some good news for you, this term at IGNITION, we will be looking at why we are here!

Jesus Christ made some crazy claims about himself, one of them is found in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me” Can we really trust this? We are going to look at this and so much more… Make sure you don’t miss any youth or ignition this term!

What did Jesus mean when he said some be my disciple? What does that even mean? How are we supposed to follow Him when we can’t even see him? What does he look like? What does he smell like? What was his favourite food? What does he even want with us, with you… with me? _________ Summer Camp 2012 is going to answer this and more, it is going to be full of fun, sunshine, tenting, swatting mosquitoes, canoeing, eating awesome food and so much more. If you consider yourself as a part of IGNITEyouth you simply can’t miss this camp… everyone will be talking about it and you don’t want to be the person who missed out! Get yourself there no matter what!
