What I Say To You In The Darkness, Speak In The Light!

What a crazy wonderful week this has been!

In today's blog, I will be highlighting our supervisor visit, EDGE night entitled What I Say To You In The Darkness, Speak In The Light, Lifeteen meeting, Team Day, and more!

EDGE night was awesome! The theme was on evangelization, and how we can do that in our everyday lives. Hannah and Marissa from the Wetaskiwin team last year came to visit for a few days, so they came to EDGE. We has a skit that modelled evangelization, and the reality that sometimes people may not want to hear what we have to say. We talked to the kids about how hard it is to tell people about Jesus' love, but about how necessary it is to do so.

On Saturday, we had our first ever Crossroads Coffee House! It was amazing. We changed the whole environment of the youth room into a little coffee shop. It was very warm and cozy. The musical talent of our youth and parish members is unbelievable! It was great to hang out with everyone and to appreciate together how blessed we are to live in Wetaskiwin.

After Mass on Sunday morning, in honour of family day (which was the following day), our team did the drama Two Sets of Jones'. The drama is about two different married couples, one who build their relationship on the rock of Christ Jesus, and one who laid a sandy foundation for their marriage. It is an amazing drama that makes me cry everytime, but I had no ideo how much it would impact the community. At the coffee social after Mass, almost every parishioner came and thanked us for doing the drama and told us how much it meant to them. Praise God!

That same Sunday, we had meeting for all our Lifeteeners. We mainly just wanted to ask them what they wanted to see in the high school youth group, and what themes and issues they would want to talk about. That brought about a lot of clarification for our team and for the teens, so it was a great meeting all around!

This weekend, we had our supervisors, Jesse and Sarah, here for a visit! It was so lovely to see them again! It felt like we han't seen them in years! The theme of this supe visit was to relook at our mission for this year, and to re-encourage our zeal for this ministry. It was really cool to look back at the mission statement that we wrote in September!

The supe's planned our team day that happened on Monday. It was really great. We slept in, and then came to our beloved parish. We listened to a talk on communication, and discussed a little about that. It was really good to see how we all communicate differently. It really impacted our team. And then for our fun activity, we played Just Dance on the Wii! It was so much fun! The boys were the ones that normally won, but can I just say that the girls DEFINITELY had better dance moves! Later on that team day, we broke off as men and women, and the sisterhood wrote a song for the brothers and the brotherhood wrote a song for the sisters. All in all, it was a very entertaining team day.

Until next time...

God Bless,

"Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?' For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6: 31-34
