Youth Ministry Monthly Update- September 21, 2022
Dear parents,
We are two weeks into our fall schedule and new format for the year. It has been a great start and we have some more upcoming events both at our parish and beyond. Below I have also included some opportunities for middle school students. Lastly, we have some new adult mentors this year. Our leaders for the year are Kelly Carroll, Natalie Blatney, Mike Breen, Brett Cuddy, and Katie Cillo. This ministry is not possible with their presence, time, and commitment. Thank you for your support of teen ministry and for entrusting your kids to this ministry.
-Paul

Upcoming Opportunities and Events
Sunday Night Small Groups- Each week 6:00-8:00 For the first two months the Sunday gatherings will focus on discipleship. Each week there is a Bible study and a video discussion. The teens split up into two groups for the different discussions. To keep it simple to track who is in the Bible study and who is in the video discussion each week we are breaking up by gender. This allows there to still be a mix of schools and ages. Later in the fall we will break up in to coed groups for Advent and for the start of 2023. Dinner is at 6 each week. Thank you to the parents who have donated food. On October 16th McNally's will be providing dinner (Schmitters) and I am looking to partner with other local restaurants. Sign up here to provide part of a meal. Please note there is NO Sunday gathering on Oct 2nd as I will be away for a weeklong course. |
