No Ordinary Weekend

Here in Alberta we are coming up to the Family Day long weekend. For the third year in a row, we will be attending an evangelistic retreat at a local Christian camp. This retreat, called No Ordinary Weekend (NOW for short), is a time for families to get away and spend time at a camp enjoying the winter activities and indoor facilities. The main purpose, though, is to have a time away from distractions and have an opportunity to learn about God. We are using the new GoodSeed series, No Ordinary Story, taking these people from Creation-to-Christ in these evangelistic booklets. In total, there will be around 140 adults and children in attendance.

Some of the people who are coming have been to a previous NOW event, and are now bringing unbelieving friends or others who are not strong in their faith. Children of attendees are also going to be learning the gospel message as they are taught lessons that are also Creation-to- Christ.

Things kick off on Friday evening and run through Monday afternoon, with around 9-10 hours of Bible teaching.

Please pray for our team as we teach or assist, and please pray for the attendees that they would have open hearts and changed lives as a result.
