PRINCE ALBERT (Sask) – A group of Prince Albert teens is preparing for a unique one-week mission experience working with children on the Crow Indian Reservation near Billings, Montana. The eight young people have been working on plans for the trip since meeting as actors in a theatrical production last fall – “Little Women”, staged by Watch Stop Drama Productions. They come from several different church backgrounds, including St. Christopher’s (Christopher Lake) and St. George’s (Prince Albert) Anglican churches, and the Alliance and Free Methodist churches in Prince Albert.

Accompanied by two chaperones – Connie Workentin and the Rev’d Daniel Graham (who were also actors in the play) – the group will leave Prince Albert on Saturday, June 28, returning July 5. They will be involved in children’s programs, as well as some renovation projects on the Crow Reservation, which is the second largest in the United States.

The mission trip is a new experience for the youth group. It is being organized through the “Youth Works” organization based in Vancouver. The participants have been planning for the trip for several months, and staged a musical presentation in April at a coffee house fundraiser at the Cornerstone Church to raise funds to help cover some of their expenses. For further information, contact the Mission Trip Co-ordinator, the Rev’d Tracey-Lloyd Smith at 764-6553.
