Crunch Time!

2 weeks left. This fact of life is a very hard pill to swallow knowing how much the whole team is going to miss this place of Medicine Hat, AB. Many of us know what God has up his sleeve for us this coming academic year, others don't have a clue. The thing is is this is when we really get to trust in the Lord's will being done in our lives outside of Net. 

With only 2 weeks left though we are jammed packed to the brim with events, retreats, and get together a with our friends! This past weekend we had an amazing time at the Equip Retreat. The theme of the weekend had the youth think about how they can connect with God in different ways   The options we went over were Prayer, Fellowship, Sacraments, and Service. It was defiantly drilled into their brains at the end of the weekend but we could clearly tell it made a huge impact in their spiritual lives. Often when we ask youth how they enjoyed a retreat lots of the time they respond with "I loved having lunch and playing games" but that was not the case this time. So many of them said they experienced God in a new way and were beyond excited to get to know Him even better with the new found tools of faith they had discovered over the weekend. 

We also had a really interesting night on Vocations for Unchained. We had 2 priests, a deacon, married couple, and one of us sitting in for the single life. It was so beautiful seeing how Christ is bringing so much joy and love to every vocation that we get called to in life. It gave us all an opportunity to really think about where God is truly calling us after our time on Net. 

Confirmation Retreat this coming weekend with an estimated 100 youth showing up so there are defiantly some nerves going into this ( given that we only have about 40 youth at our biggest events) so prayers are always appreciated! God bless!
