1)Fusion Friday Nights : Every Friday Night from 7:37pm until 9pm with optional cafe-flex time from 9pm until 10pm

Fusion is a youth group that is dedicated to Truth, Relevancy, Journey and Authenticity. We don’t make many promises but when we do you can take them to the bank. At Fusion Friday Night we Promise:

-To make you think

-Never embarrass you or your guest

-Provide space and opportunity for you to lead if you would like

We meet each Friday in a variety of settings so keep this site bookmarked and check out the calendar regularly.

2)Sr. High After Hours : Most Friday Nights following Fusion from 9pm until 10:30

Authenticity is tough in a world where superficiality is valued so highly. We attempt to fight the urge t conform by joining together in intimate settings where the most important rule is – NO MASKS ALLOWED!

Join us for a FUSION Friday night then sneak away to one of the After Parties to discuss the night, eat food and be accepted.

Keep your eyes on the calendar for schedules. Also if your family would like to host an After Hours Party please contact Pastor Justin

3)Fusion Mentorship

No better place is Truth and Relevancy found then in consistent interactions with another. It is easy to feel lost in the crowd at FUSION which is why we have FUSION Mentorship.

If you sign up you will always know what’s going on in the FUSION world but more importantly someone from the FUSION world will always know what’s going on in your world and help you through whatever they can.

If you would like to be in a Mentorship relationship (either as a mentor or mentoree) sign up yesterday.

4)Fusion Study: Every Wednesday Night from 7pm until 8:30 starting on September 22

A very important man turned to Jesus and asked him “What is Truth?” At FUSION we believe truth is not some disjointed abstract theory, rather, we believe truth is a person and we have dedicated ourselves and set aside Wednesday Nights each week to explore that Person.

5)Fusion Arts: Every Tuesday Night from 7pm until 8:30pm starting on September 14

Life journeys are important to us at FUSION and we believe the journey is best spent with friends and art. That is why we have two different groups who meet on Tuesday Nights to explore the gift of the arts.

Music: Is music your thing? Well you aren’t alone. Come out on Tuesday night and develop your talents and skills as a musician with this group of musicians who love music and God. All skill levels welcome. This group also gets to share their talents with the larger community on Friday Nights and Sunday Mornings

Film and Drama: This is the thespian group here at Fusion. We meet each week to create, direct, film short films and rehearse dramas and skits for the broader community on FUSION Friday Nights

i)Teaching Gatherings

Every Monday Night for Senior High

Starting June 21^st (7:00-8:30p) there will be FUSION Senior High Monday Nights where we will be hanging out, grabbing some food and dealing with some big ticket items. We will be looking at the idea of Hope and how “it happens”. We will be spending time talking about War and Peace (for the non-readers don’t worry not the Tolstoy one) we deal with in our world. We will talk about poverty and security. All of which will be looked at in the light of Jesus the Christ.

Every Sunday Morning for Junior Highs

During the Sunday morning service (unless otherwise noted) here at Evangel we like to sneak away to a place exclusively for the Junior Highs.

Then there was this loud pop from the road, and Josh Emmit was like, “Ow! That hurt.”
Then there was another pop. Really loud.
At first I thought maybe someone had thrown some firecrackers at him. He had this funny look on his face, like someone had said something to him that didn’t make any sense. Then he grabbed his stomach and kind of hunched over against the wall, and all this blood started leaking out between his fingers.
I started screaming, “Oh my gosh, somebody just shot Josh Emmit! Oh my gosh, somebody just shot Josh Emmit!”
-Hunted Club Dread

That was a section of the first chapter. The main plot in this story is a murder, that the main character is trying to solve and she runs into some weird things along the way.
The book is a good mystery with an eerie suspense that keeps you hooked onto the book.
I thought the book was great and very interesting. I couldn’t put it down!
Although it is interesting, I would recommend this book for older readers, like teens, because of some scary content and a little bit of language.

We are also looking for financial donations so that we can send students who otherwise wouldn’t be able to go!

 Fusion is dedicated to developing literacy and learning habits with each student. Therefore Fusion will purchase a book(s) for students with the condition they describe in a paragraph why they would like to read said book and following the reading write a one page review.

 This month’s book review is being done by Caleb L. Grade 7

 Title: Isle of Swords

Author: Wayne Batson

The setting of this book is a place in the medieval times where there was a lot of piracy going on. And, in case you’re wondering, this book was written by the author of the Door Within Trilogy.

 A group of pirates find a boy stranded on an island. He has lost all his memory so the pirates make him one of them. The pirate’s leader is a friend with The Brethren, a group of Christian monks. When he goes to them, they give him a monk with a strange map tattooed on his back which will lead them to the Isle of Swords!

But to get there they must outwit Bartholemew, the most notorious pirate leader, and the British Navy. But will they succeed? Is there even a real treasure?

This book is really great for anyone with a love for some action. I really love how the author lays out the different ways of fighting. Not like some extremely confusing books.

I would recommend this book to whoever loves action in a medieval type setting

Fusion on a Thursday afternoon? You bet! February 25^th 10:00am until 1:00pm there will be a party at FUSION with FREE PIZZA, CONCERTS and a very special guest speaker. This day will be helping us prepare for Rock the River which will be a youth event we will be helping put on in late August with the Billy Graham Association.

Also this month at Fusion we are taking registrations and deposits for YC Alberta : Audacious. YC is a multi-denominational Christian Youth Conference and is committed to reaching out to youth and young adults all over Canada and internationally. The YC weekend features motivational and inspiring speakers, concerts, workshops and lots of activities.

I would like to read this book because I read the first book and have been looking for it, but can’t find it. I also want to read it because the books that are written Walter Sorrells are always good mysteries. They are very interesting and I get stuck and can never put the book down.

Look for Christina’s review to come in the following months.

Is there a book you have been eyeing to read? If so let us know about it and we will pick up a copy for you (or send to your kindle) ASAP

Risk: Why we fear the things we shouldn’t and put ourselves in greater danger

Written by: Dan Gardner

Reviewed by: P.F

Grade 10

Dan Gardner’s Risk tells how our post-modern North American society unnecessarily worries about the small risks we encounter daily. Gardner uses examples of the fear of germs, terrorism, school shootings, asteroid catastrophes, child abduction and many others in conjunction with psychological factors such as confirmation, the good/bad rule and the anchoring law to prove his point that our society is the safest that it has ever been.

The book goes hand in hand with Gardners other book “A Culture of Fear” as well as “Panicology” , “Sway” and Marshall McLuhan’s “Understanding Media”.

The book provides an informative read while being entertaining and engaging.
