Back In Beauce

Hello everyone! Julie here with the first blog of 2014 for Les Equipes.

We arrived back in La Beauce last week after spending sometime in Ottawa with three other teams to receive some more training. We’re thrilled to be back, and have gotten right back into the swing of things.

For our weekly sports night we decided to switch things up a bit, and instead of a sport we played cards and board games with the youth at our office! It was a fun way to spend the evening, and everyone had a great time. The weekend featured our first youth group of the new year with a night for the younger high school students where the theme was “Jesus as a Friend”. We played some team-building games, heard a talk from Matt, wrote letters to Jesus during prayer time, and finished off the night with trivia and snacks. It was beautiful to see them so concentrated sitting in the church writing their letters, and really using the opportunity to deepen their relationship with Christ. Lots of our older youth were also able to come and help as volunteers, and it was awesome to have them getting involved!

This weekend we also had a Youth Mass on Sunday evening. Many families and members of the community came to take part, and the readings, serving and offering were all done by the youth.

God has already done amazing things in Beauce this year, and we can’t wait to see the fruit the next few months will bring!

God bless,

Julie
