The Rock Skateboard Ministry has open the doors of Mildred Hall School Multi-use Gym for Yellowknife Skaters to keep shredd’n over the winter.  The gym is small, confined and challenging to skate so some limitations to skaters will apply.  Rules will be posted at the park and on this website soon.  Make sure you read them.  The Skate Ministry is using the school gym on a trial basis and it is up to you the skaters to ensure rules are followed, school property is respected and that skates work together to make the park successful.  It is God that gave birth to this Skate Ministry and it is God that we will give thanks too by the way we treat His blessings and live our lives

Ephesians 4:25-32

So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body. And don’t sin by letting anger control you. Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.

If you are a thief, quit stealing. Instead, use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need. Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.

And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior.  Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
