And They're Off!
We are off to a good start this year. On November 7, three members of our youth group are attending a retreat. We pray that God touches their hearts during this wonderful experience.
Reminder that we have moved the youth group meetings to Sunday. We meet from 5:30pm - 7:30pm. However, we will not be meeting on November 7. Anyone who walks, rides their bike, skate boards or mopeds to the meeting and is expecting to go home the same way.... NEEDS A NOTE from a parent. No exceptions. With everything that has happened in our community, we want to make sure that everyone gets home safely and parents are OK with you going home in the dark that way.
Last meeting we noticed some behavior that is unacceptable. Failure to follow the rules of the group and our church can and will result in you not being able to attend the meetings or outings. For the confirmation class.... that means that you are jeopardizing your confirmation. This is a great group that has done great things. Let's stay focused.
The purpose of the youth group is to have fellowship with one another and to grow our relationship with God.
We will have an outing on November 6 (The cost is $7.00). We will be meeting at the church at 10:30am and going out to lunch for pizza and then going to the Shrine of Christs Passion in St. John. We should be back at the church by 3:30pm. There is a beautiful gift shop at the Shrine. Bring extra money. Families are welcome. Just let Heather know. We have to make arrangements.

Ready or Not Here We Come
Reminder that youth group meetings are now on SUNDAY evening at 5:30pm. I hope this works for everyone. My work schedule has become extremely busy and now demand that I stay at work later in the day. Sundays have always been a day of rest or family day for us. So I see it best fitting that we focus on our church family. This year is our spiritual year. We are looking for to some fun retreats, events and fellowship.
We are having a fundraiser this year. This will help pay for the March for Life, outings and retreats. We will be selling Schwan's foods and they will be picked up on October 15.
On Oct 15 we have been asked to help with packing up the rummage sale for goodwill. I would love to see everyone at this project. For the confirmation students.... SERVICE HOURS!!!
I am really looking forward to this year. We are going to have a great year. See you on Sunday at 5:30pm.
