God in focus at Grey Cup
by Cindy Stephen
Next to the beer-laden, whiskey
swilling hospitality suites at the Convention Centre during this
month’s Grey Cup festivities, you’ll find the Locker Room.
It won’t be full of smelly equipment and stinky cleats. In
this room, Christian players from the CFL who belong to
faith-based Athletes in Action (AIA) will have traded sweat for
the sweet sound of prayer and fellowship.
"It’s a touchy feely
non-alcoholic option for the football fans," said Calgary
Stampeders Chaplain Rodd Sawatsky who is heavily involved in
Grey Cup plans on behalf of Athletes in Action. "It’ll be open
Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Convention Centre.
There will be players there signing autographs, videos playing
and a juice bar."
Other players from across the
league, whose availability as of press time have not yet been
determined due to playoff scheduling, will be in Calgary to
celebrate Grey Cup and share their passion for Christ at Calgary
schools.
