(The theme of the Alberta and Northwest Junior High Rally 2010)
Once again I find myself blogging in the air. Fortunately, writing on the plane is something that I find relatively simple to do. I guess it is up to you, the reader, to decide if I do it well.
True to what I predicted in yesterday's entry (and it seems quite some time ago that I did it) the evening got considerably more busy.
In my comments to the Youth Rally participants I said that Youth Rally is one of the best things that happens in the Conference. I wasn't just being kind. There is an incredible group of people in our conference that is very gifted in planning and presenting an event which both in theme and process is imbued with the work of the Spirit. This is the church at its very best - sure of the message, secure in the process, committed to the purpose and joyful and appropriate in the fulfillment, which leaves me feeling very good about the church.Praise God for the Youth Rally Leadership Team. Praise God for the youth who come. Praise God that this is a vital part of who we are as The United Church of Canada and may we grow from the wisdom and talent they offer!
