Hello to all our faithful blog followers! It is me, Katie Doyle reporting for duty here in Wetaskiwin. Unfortunately before Christmas break, Emma Wynker (our previous blogger) had to leave the team because of personal reasons. Please continue to keep her in your prayers.We all had a wonderful Christmas break spent with our families. It felt so good to be at home for a little while. December retreat and January training was spent here in Wetaskiwin with the Yellowknife team. We had lots of time spent in worship together. NET alumnus Suzi Maclean came to do music for us during Adoration one night during January training. It was absolutely beautiful! Thanks Suzi!! Our time with the Yellowknife team also had its fair share of fun and laughter. A game called "Mafia" became something played very frequently during our retreat/training. When we meet next, I'm sure we will probably play the game again. We became extremely familiar with the way that each player plays the game. Each of our teams had some time during January training to spend seperately as a team. While the Wetaskiwin team was playing games inside, the Yellowknife team was playing a giant prank on us! At the end of the day, we went to go out to our van, but it was no where to be found! They parked our van beside a snow bank, and burried our entire van in the snow!! We ran over to it to find the words "Yellowknife buried you" written in the snow. Don't worry folks, we will get them back!
Being back in ministry has found the whole team very busy. To start off, our whole team has come down with a sickness! We are nearing the end of it, but we needed a couple days to recuperate. We have a lot of events coming up. As always we have our EDGE (Jr. High) and Lifeteen (Highscool) youth groups every week. God is working very powerfully though both of these youth groups. Also, staring on Feb. 2, we will be starting weekly chastity groups called Real Men for the young men and Glass Alabaster for the young women. We have heard many stories from last year and our very excited to start with this year. For our young adults, we will be starting Theology on Tap. We will get together once a month at a local pub for fellowship and to discuss theology and other topics.
We are so excited for what God is doing in this community, especially with our youth. Thank you so much for faithfully reading our blogs and for praying for our ministry. It makes me so happy that there are so many amazing people that support the work of NET.
Until next time...
God Bless,
Katie Doyle
