Chris Tomlin Concert
There is a great family concert coming up.  Chris Tomlin will be performing live in Saskatoon on Wednesday, May 11. We have sung a lot of his music at school. I highly recommend the concert.  I plan to attend with my family.  Most shows are sold out across Canada but Saskatoon has a few tickets left. One of Chris Tomlin's videos can be viewed to the right.  Tickets can be purchased at the below link.

About Alpha

Alpha is a series of interactive sessions that engages people in conversations about faith, life and Jesus. Every Alpha session includes a short talk and discussion. More information can be found at: www.alphacanada.org/.  Please ask your child about what they are learning and contact me if you have any questions. Also, please pray that all those taking part would grow in their faith.

Alpha is being used by thousands of Catholic parishes in over 70 countries around the world. Alpha is also run by churches of many other denominations to introduce people to the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. This has led to more than 24 million people around the world experiencing Alpha. In particular, it is attracting many young people who are asking the question, ‘Is there more to life than this?’
