Yum! We started off the evening with a quick construction ice breaker, competing to make the tallest structure with spaghetti and marshmallows. If your kids couldn't come, here are some updates and faith things to go over with them.
Main Points for this notice:
1. All youth are requested to participate in a youth mass at least once per year as part of youth formation. April 24, 4:30 outdoors, and May 16th at 11 am are the next 2. Please consider volunteering your child(ren) if they haven't participated yet. We are so proud to see them up there! Greeters, Servers, Announcements, 3 to 4 readers, Gift Bearers are needed. We may contact you if we are short on volunteers!
2. Parents of youth interested in singing with choir must keep in touch with Mr. Jeffrey Fischer in order to be notified of practices. While they don't occur often due to covid, they are required for participation. He usually has one the week before a special mass like the outdoor youth mass.
3. There is a Homework attachment called Praise to You Lord Jesus Christ regarding the upcoming Sunday readings. This is from The Religion Teacher website.
4. The Take-Home letter with an overview of the most recent YFF is attached.
5. The childrens' version of the readings for the April 24/ 25th mass are attached, in case your child is younger and would like to read. The missallette may be used for older youth or I can provide copies. These are from Adorers of the Most Precious Blood website. This is for Good Shepherd Sunday and a childrens' cross word is included.
6. Reading Tips for lectoring at mass are attached. These are from me! Praise Be to God I've been lectoring for over (gasp) 30 years and may have been to a training or 2!
7. The main blog below concerns some themes that go with mass. They are summarized from a series for parents at Loyola Press. We mentioned some of these briefly at the youth night, but they may be worth reviewing.
