This year, we decided to shake things up by offering service opportunities at four different locations: Edmonton, Calgary, Wetaskiwin, and Red Deer. And, to our awesome surprise, we received news that Medicine Hat had joined the mission as well.
The turnout exceeded our wildest expectations, with over 400 people across Alberta committed to serving their communities. We baked cookies for our police officers, volunteered at soup kitchens, gave high fives and flowers to complete strangers, and shared moments of warmth with elderly residents of nursing homes. It was powerful to witness our young people offer their time and hearts without expecting anything in return.
On Sunday, we hosted a leadership training session with Pastor Seth Yelorda for all our youth leaders in Edmonton. Our church started as a movement led by young people, and I’m happy to see that same spirit igniting in Alberta.
Our vision extends far beyond this weekend. We envision every church embracing service not merely as a one-time event but as a lifestyle—a way of being that permeates every aspect of our lives. Join us in this movement and let’s make the love of Jesus the guiding force in everything we do.
