First of all, thanks to all of you who made it to our meeting on Sunday!! Though we know it got rather uncomfortable for many of you, but your ability to talk openly and honestly in front of the entire group was very reassuring for us! Thank you, thank you, thank you! For those who were not able to make it to the meeting, please know that you are always welcome and that we encourage each and every one of you to take some time to seriously think about what God wants of you in your life! After all, that is what a vocation is all about, doing what God wants you to do and taking joy in knowing that you are doing what your Father asks. As Fr. Reutter said at the meeting, there is a natural attraction to married life, but we must be careful not to “fall into it” as if we are all called to live that life. No matter what we decide is our path, we must make that decision in prayer and conversation with Jesus.
Secondly, anybody who wants their pictures from Sunday night, please send me an email or just post a comment. I didn’t write everyone’s name down so I don’t want to forget anyone.
Thirdly, we look forward to seeing all of you for our next meeting on Sunday, February 10th from 7-9. We will be discussing Christian Love, making Valentine’s Decorations for the Bayley Place Nursing Home and having a Valentine’s Day party as well. If you want, please feel free to bring a snack to share at the party and Valentines to hand out.
Fourthly, please see our new Upcoming Events page and mark all the events on your calendars. I do not have all the details about several of the events, but will be posting them as I get them. As Marianne and I get used to this Youth Ministry thing, we will be planning more and more events, fundraisers, prayer opportunities, and community service projects, so you’ll have to start checking back often to keep up to date.
Finally, the most important deadline that is fast approaching is the registration deadline for Alive in You! This is going to be an amazing experience and for the price of less than $300 plus the cost of transportation it is very affordable. Our hope is to raise enough money to allow each person who signs up to go for free. I’ll try to post additional information, but also check your emails or click on the link above!
