Movie Review: Recap of Windell's Movie Reviews- or at least some thus far
Practically each week, Windell shares his thoughts of the movies he's seen recently. In Youth Group, we've discussed how we continue to find Jesus speaking to us through stories and film. Additionally, we've become mesmerized by Windell's succinct recaps of the movie's he's seen. So, in a meshing of styles, we present to you our latest recurring segment: Windell's Movie Reviews. Before we officially launch this, let us re-cap on some of the movies Windell has already seen:

Gearing Up For Lent
We listened to the sounds of The Sounds this evening.
So, per request we present you:
We started our Super-Lenten-Series a week early tonight in preparation of Lent. Some Scripture-reading, sharing, nailing push-pins to wood (long story), the Boy Scout finding an easier way to extract push-pins from said wood, and closing prayer with our snazzy new Youth Group candle. We're looking at things we can improve on, whether it's choices we've made, choices we make, and what we find ourselves doing with our time.
We are preparing ourselves to use the next 40-days to let the Spirit guide us and be with us as we reflect and take on new (or old) challenges.
Matisyahu opens up with his song, Sea to Sea, which includes lyrics straight out of Scripture, "Open up my lips and my mouth shall declare Your praise." And only Matisyahu can pull it off in Hebrew & English to a killer reggae beat. So, please enjoy:
Reminder:
There's no Youth Group next week because of Ash Wednesday.

Getting ready for Lent
We're gearing up for Lent, so we did a lot of catching up on what's going on with everyone this week before we get extra-biblical next month. C.C. was kind of surprised by this when she responded with , "Damn! Jesus was just born and now he's gonna die again?!" :)
Next week, we look at WWYD, WWJD, Valentine's Day, Love, Dating, and calendering for the rest of the year.
Unofficial Movie night this Friday:
Coraline around 7ish at Bayfair. Unofficial meaning that it just so-happens that a bunch of us are going to be there and YOYO (you're on your own) for transportation, tickets, and snacks.

In-N-Out Rumor -- Officially UNTRUE
Straight from the source, there is NO SUCH THING as 10, 15, 25 cent deals at In-N-Out on Wednesday, the 22nd. But, you're more than welcome to stop by and buy a bunch of regularly priced food for us on the way to Youth Group :)

God's Invitations - and Zombie video
We talked a little about people in our lives who God worked through, inviting us back to Him. God's invitation doesn't expire. Sometimes, we find that it keeps coming back in different versions, through different people. How has God extended an invitation to you?
Has it been through people in your life? If so, who?
But we are not just on the receiving end. God is using us too. How are YOU reaching out to others?
And I know, it's a weird combination. But since we DID bring this up on Wednesday, here it is:
And just to keep things nice and diverse, here is a nice musical clip that fits in perfectly with our economic times:

Back from the rally
We're back!!!
We've been a little more occupied with the rally. But I think it's safe to say that we've fully recovered... and when we re-grouped, we noticed a few things:
- We forgot to take pictures DURING the event. Most of our pictures are from afterwards.
- Diego isn't in ANY of our pictures. But we assure you, he WAS there. We have witnesses :)
Our theme this year was "Wii Belong" and we REALLY went for it with our Halo-themed T-shirts. Lance gets props for our t-shirt design, especially for the back, which was in full-color. Chu Chu gets props for preparing an eloquent explanation of how it fits as a church-shirt (in case anyone asked).
Steve Angrisano did a keynote, workshop, AND music for mass while SVdP's Seldom Seen Acting Co. did a performance at the other workshop. Lunchtime activities included basketball, a bungee-thing, parachute, crafts, and other things. Mass was celebrated with St. Bede's regular Sat. parishioners and various priests from participating parishes. Windell's favorite chicken was on the menu for dinner and I don't know anyone in our group who did not have a good time at the dance. Seriously. After a slideshow of the day, we closed with prayer and finally took pictures of ourselves as a group. Enjoy:
