Hey everyone, know you are all enjoying this wintery weather that has been approaching on us over the past couple weeks. (I’m not sure if there’s actually any snow on the group at the time you are reading this, but hopefully not!). So in case you didn’t know me, my name is Doug Thompson, and I have been attending St Aidan’s Sunday service on a regular basis now for just over 20 months, and the youth group for a few months more. Through this time I have really been getting more in touch with my spiritual side, whether it is through personal prayer, Sunday service, or through lyrics from a few of my favourite bands I listen to.
As I am sure you are aware, there will be seven youth members, and three leaders going to France on a mission trip for 2 weeks next June/July. The purpose of this trip is to bring light and the word of the Lord to a dark and troubled country. Nearly one third of France’s population is atheist, and about another third is sceptical of God’s existence. During our time over there, it is not for sure yet what we will be doing, but for sure one thing we will be doing is spreading the word of God and hopefully inspiring others. The time seems so short until we will be leave (just over nine months) and all of us are excited for this trip and what we will learn about ourselves, others and the impact we hope to make. Hopefully you can continue to pray for us during these times of preparation and up until our arrival back in mid July. In advance we thank you and have a good November. ~ Doug
