Yesterday was a productive day. We had a first presentation with Rev Nathanael Saint-Pierre about safety. He spoke about safety at home but safety on the street and on the web. He defined for us this new concept of cyber bullying and its consequences in our lives. The way we act, the way we respond to threat and being alert to signs of violence in words and deeds are very important into building a safe environnement.
After lunch we attempted to go to Village vacance Valcartier. Unfortunately, because of the rain we had to cancel.
So far, we've received calls from several parents. We are all ok. No one is sick or had a major issues.
The 2nd presentation again with Rev Nathanael was about the place of God in our lives. Our place in the church and what church we want to inherit. For Ritchy Dubois this church is too Sad the songs are too slow and we need to give more room for english in ceremonies. "I don't speak French" he said, "and I don't want to. So coming to a church where nothing exist to make me feel welcome is not particularily appealing."
"Je crois que l'église épiscopale est idéale" Vanessa told, "La messe n'est pas aussi longue que chez les protestants ni aussi rushée qu'à l'église catholique (I believe that the Episcopal Church is ideal. Mass is not as long as in the protestant churches and not as rushed in roman catholic churches) Natoutchika suggest that a place is made NOW for the youth because they have to learn being responsible learn being in charge and feel home feel being part of decision. Many others, Marven, Felix, Victoria and Tatiana took the stand to speak out their mind about their vision of the church they want to inherit. Rev Saint-Pierre also explain the different part a prayer should have and that we are not forced to use the BCP for everything we do at church. On that matter we had evening prayer without the book and Felix made the prayer in English while Vanessa made it in French.
We had our movie time and we had LOL watching CHOMEKO a Haitian comedy movie. (I slept during the movie time)
