Alot of March Break travellers have experienced delays and cancellations at Pearson Airport today. I wonder whether some of them are a group of teens from Bay of Quinte Conference of the United Church. Two of the young adults chosen to go to Cuba are from the St. Paul's congregation. Amanda and Alexandra have worked hard to raise the $1500 each for the trip. The congregation has been generous and they have been enthusiastic. Rev. Cathy has been an excellent advocate and support through the past few months. But none of us can control the weather.
During the next week the group will spend some time on the beach but the trip is designed to be so much more. They will have the opportunity to meet people who live with a fraction of what we consider to be a comfortable lifestyle. They will visit a seminary and church-sponsored projects. It may be that the trip will change their perspective for a lifetime.
So, even though they may be languishing in the Toronto airport watching the snow drift down, they will get to Cuba. We can pray that it is an awakening for these young Christians.
