Rise Up 2009

Hello all blog readers.

Today I am blogging from the Delta Hotel in Winnipeg, Manitoba, this where C.C.O. (Catholic Christian Outreach) is hosting their Christmas conference called Rise Up. Rise up is an annual week long conference for students and young adults who want to grown in their faith and experience some awesome fellowship, currently their are over 450 people registered and more are coming as time goes by.

A definite highlight for me so far has been the mass of people attended and seeing that they are all catholic and want to grow in relationship with the lord, it's been inspiring to witness. Yesterday we were officially welcomed by the Archbishop of Winnipeg, Most Rev James Weisgerber and the president of C.C.O. Jeff Lockheart. Afterwards we lised to the nights speaker Scott Roy, which was followed by a live performance by a band called Tuesday's Blues.

Well thats all for now, stay tuned tomorrow when I'll bring you another recap of the days events here at Rise Up 2009.

God Bless
