So much has happened in the last two weeks out here and it's just none stop here down in Southern Alberta in Medicine Hat. We've put on our first Unchained high school youth group, our first Equip middle school youth group which is happening tonight, and Family Fun Days are starting soon to! I've always loved Kick Off events, getting to know the youth of the area and get them pumped to come back to more nights in the future. It's going to be an exciting year watching everyone we encounter grow in friendship and our ultimate goal of bringing them closer to Christ. I've heard stories of people's lives being changed from having NET teams in the parish and that just makes us want to be able to work even harder for God cause He is truly the best boss to work for.
We've been up to Calgary a few times in this past week to meet with other youth ministers from the area for more training regarding the Diocese of Calgary so that was very informative. Many challenges we're laid out for us and making us the best youth ministers we can possibly strive for. Nothing but good stuff for sure. Thank you to everyone who was there, it was great to build up our relationships with one another and share in our years of experience of youth ministry.
One of my favourite things from going out to Calgary though was being able to see the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Most of the team (except 3 of us, Matt, Jim, and Kyley) had never seen them before so there was much excitement in the van as we saw them come into view. Being in southern Alberta is extremely flat if you didn't know. As in if you wake up in the morning early enough you can see the sun rise in the east and it's still pitch black in the west. Another example you can see a train from start to finish without moving your head. That is how flat is down here but man it is still unbelievably beautiful cause God knew what he was doing when he created the place we call home.
So with this all said, stayed tuned for more to come. God Bless!
