Well, here we are, at the end of another regular season. I find this the most exciting time of the year, when everything is on the line. And it just so happens…. that one of the most important home games this season also falls on our 6th Annual Faith Night! This Friday evening, the Chilliwack Chiefs come to RLP, and it’s pretty much a ‘must win’ situation. With the Warriors fighting with Salmon Arm and Merritt for the final two playoff spots in the Interior Conference, one of the three teams will not make it into the post season.
On Tuesday, Feb. 17, I held our last regular season chapel, which was a real beauty. We talked about true friendship, about the verse in John 15 which states that there is no greater love known than when a man lays down his life for a friend. Of course, I related that verse to the love of Christ Jesus. For myself, I really do love the guys on the team and when we finished with our huddle and a closing prayer, I felt a real close bond with the boys. We have a great bunch here and looking back, I am glad to have been able to hold chapels with our Warriors players for 9 full seasons now.
I am confident that our boys will play their very best on Faith Night Friday, and on through these last two weekends of the regular season. Regardless of what happens, they will always know that I will never stop praying for them and for their families.
I am definitely looking forward to this coming 6th Annual Faith Night, with a large crowd and a great celebration of our Warriors chapel program and the greater Christian community we have here in West Kelowna.
God bless you all, and we’ll see you Friday evening at Royal LePage Place!
Grace and Peace in Christ,
Pastor Don
