SOAR - Mar. 29th

Hello Church!

Ole! Como estas! Lol nevermind. Today, after a lovely breakfast from a cooler shared on the floor, our teams headed off to Canadian Mennonite University for a morning of workshops. Once we reached CMU, the girls and guys were separated for a worship service. The guys learned the importance of the 'power position' and how to listen to God for cues, whilst the girls focused on the importance of seeing themselves through the eyes of God. After the services, everyone split up to enjoy the workshops they had chosen. They included; worship through dance, musics, journaling, attentive prayer, and many more. For the most part, everyone really enjoyed both their sessions and learned something! All like, 500 of us youth and leaders gathered in the gymnasium of CMU for pizza! Amazing pizza. We ate and visited together in clusters, then we were off to swim for our free time!

Our free time started with a fun trip to the swimming pool, which had a huge 18 foot diving board. Unfortunately Scott didn't have swim trunks and Quinn had a swollen ankle, so Jordan and Reilly kept them company for the couple of hours we were there. Once we dried ourselves and hopped in the vans and trucks, we headed to the golf dome and hit up the mini putt.

Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement, we're all having an amazing time and learning so much!

Our evening entailed getting commissioned for ministry. We had a rather intense session followed by a praying over of all the teams that would be sent out... and then we were commissioned off to go spread Jesus' love through Winnipeg! Our group came back for a team time that fired us all up to go and meet the kids in the north end. Can hardly wait till tomorrow!
