ALPHA IS COMING TO IMMAC: BREAKFAST CLUB | |
Alpha is a 10-week course to explore Christianity in a non-threatening and welcoming way. It has run in thousands of churches over the past 25 years. Millions of people have tried the Alpha Course and it has been translated into 112 languages. The Alpha Talks have now been repackaged for a modern audience and they include an Alpha Youth Series, which is the one we will be using for our course. Alpha always includes a meal, a talk, and a discussion. Our student-led Alpha will be a breakfast club, serving a full breakfast (I’ve been told pancakes, eggs and bacon, etc., are on the menu). We would like to offer this opportunity to all of our students from grades 8-12. Our tentative start date is the second week of January, potentially Wednesdays at 7:30 am and we will wrap up just before we close for Spring Break. | |
|
If you are not familiar with Alpha and would like to learn more, we invite you to have a look at the video and contact us for more information or to register.
In faith,
Mrs. Uhrich, Mr. Bertolucci, and Mr. Wilson.

FAITH IN ACTION
On Tuesday, November 21, the theology 12 class went on a service field trip. Our grads helped out in primary classrooms at St. Joseph school and decorated the Central Okanagan Hospice house for Christmas. What a great time we had serving in our community!

HOPE OUTREACH
Lorraine from HOPE Outreach came to school this week to collect the winter clothing, blankets, and water bottles collected by our community to help them serve some of the most vulnerable members of our Kelowna community.
On behalf of HOPE Lorraine extends a warm thanks to all those providing these must needed items.
HOPE supports sex-trade workers who may experience vulnerability on a journey to realizing their potential of living a safe and healthy life.
Further support for HOPE through Jewels of HOPE. This dream born out of a passion to help our women find hope in the darkest of places. It is the vision of a safe, low barrier and practical context for marginalized and exploited women to be valued, to learn artisanal skills, to transition to further employment and educational opportunities. Additional courses and skills that can build a resume will be available in partnership with other partners and service agencies. See more information https://www.jewelsofhope.ca/about

SRS VS STAFF VB
Our annual game of staff vs senior teams was back after a long hiatus this week…and what a match it was! The whole school came out to witness an incredible performance by both teams. It is true that the staff thought they had this in the bag in the beginning, but halfway through, the senior teams (both girls and boys) came back to win the sets in a very civilized and even match. Despite some shenanigans that earned a few members yellow cards from former grad and game referee Kassandra P., all team players were on their best behaviour. In the end, everyone had fun and the seniors showed the seniors that no matter how old you are, you can still have “game”.

CHESS NEWS
