G'DAY!Look I’m going to tell you about the busy life of a Parish NET team in the month of March!
Upcoming events include a talent show, a musicians retreat, a Lifeteen retreat, a couple of school retreats just outside of Wetaskiwin, a Women’s retreat, XLT (Praise and Worship + Adoration), our men’s and women’s groups - Glass Alabaster, and Real men for grades 9 – 12. And on top of that just working with our Delightful Crew and Core who assist every Edge and Lifenight, our soldiers who will be taking over when the fateful day arrives of the departure of NET Team 4.
In recent events, Lifeteen this week was called “Caught in the Storm”. It was based on sin and temptation. Just recently our team got permission to go into the non–catholic high school in Wetaskiwin, and the weekend after we went in, we got 2 new guys out from the school. God is truly blessing us and using us to spread His word. For our environment we had a maze, a waterfall, black clouds and a soundtrack of storms and lightning (I KNOW!!); this really set the mood! Hannah gave a talk on sin and temptation with a few Lord of the Rings references which made me a wee bit excited. For prayer ministry we gave the teens a chance to go to reconciliation. We also performed the “Bring me to Life” drama of which I have included a photo of some of the team and core members all "bloody" and sin-like. This is one of my favourite dramas simply because of its intensity! It involves a woman (Good Old Suzi MacLean!) who starts kneeling/praying in front of Jesus (Mr Robbie Labonte) and throughout the drama several sins get a hold of her and try to separate her from Jesus, but in the end it is our Glorious Saviour who is victorious! (Yay for all humanity)
Anyway, I think that this was a perfect time to show this drama to the teens and discuss the topic of Reconciliation and the infinite mercy that Jesus brings/ is bringing/has brought. A lot of our teens came to reconciliation, we even had a couple of people who weren’t Catholic c
ome to the night and said they enjoyed it and learned a lot!
Thus concludes another GREAT lifenight, the Lord worked, teens came, communication took place, sins were forgiven! Please say a prayer for Sacred Heart Parish in Wetaskiwin right now...I don’t mean commit to a novena and fast from food for 9 days, but I mean stop reading this blog right now and take a minute to ask Mary for her Son to work like never before in the beautiful youth of Sacred Heart Parish! Thanks...
