YOUTH GROUP NEWS for July 5, 2020
We are better with you than we are without you, and so are you.
Any school … All Saints, St. Vincent Ferrer, and any other parish, and your friends!
7th & 8th grade for Junior High Youth Group; 9th -12th grade for High School Youth Group and Highschoolers of the Well (HOW).
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” These words from Jesus in today’s Gospel (Matthew 11:25-30), like His teachings, are simple and straightforward. Jesus not only tells us what to do, He also shows us how to do it by the way He lived His life on earth. So if you, or someone you know, is burdened, come to Jesus. Let Him lift your burden, grant you hope, show you love, and give you rest.
We celebrate our Nation’s independence this weekend. Through the course of our history, our great country has survived and thrived amid turmoil, strife, upheaval, famine, and more. We need to do it again. So, while we celebrate our independence, let’s also recognize our dependence on each other, on our families, and mostly on our good God.
“God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her, and guide her through the night with the light from above.”
Junior High and High School Youth Groups & HOW Schedule:
Hey, hey … How you doin’? We miss you, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
We sure wish we could gather a huge group of you for Youth Group, but we are not YET able to do that. Please know that we will again. Also know that we are praying for you, and cheering for you! Please find time for prayer. Get Jesus. Be one who “adds” love.
Keep the Faith. Grow your Faith. Believe. Be Hopeful! Be kind. Do well; do good; smile.
HOW has gathered around the fire-pit, under the Father Dennis Pavilion, and via Zoom during the past few months. We’re planning to gather about every other Monday evening during the Summer from 7:00 – 8:30PM. Please know that ALL High School folks, including those entering High School in the Fall, from ALL High Schools, are enthusiastically welcome. You can expect some good conversation, some prayer, some laughs, and some really good folks about your age. We will gather again Monday,
June 29, TOMORROW either around the fire-pit or under the Father Dennis Pavilion.
We really hope you will join us. HOW is the Holy Spirit working in you!?
GREAT NEWS … All Saints and Saint Vincent Ferrer have resumed public Mass. While you are still dispensed from a responsibility to attend Mass, you are able to attend 6:45AM weekday Mass at All Saints or 8:20AM weekday Mass at Saint Vincent Ferrer. Both Parishes offer a 9:00AM and 11:00AM Sunday Mass, and also a Saturday evening vigil Mass. You are asked to maintain social distance from your neighbor.
Come to Mass. Let Jesus fill you up! He’ll still recognize you with your mask on.
