Welcome to a new year of EDGE Middle School Ministry!

Here are some things you needs to know:

1. The parish website is your friend. Especially the EDGE page and things connected to it. (Find it under "Learn and Grow") That's where you'll find this year's calendar, event release form, info about upcoming activities outside of EDGE nights. Please visit.

2. If your youth is signed up for the EDGE program, and you are not a catechist (Core leader), then you will receive a volunteer assignment for the fall semester soon. If you aren't available during Monday evenings, let me know directly. Also, I am seeking some shopping volunteers to aid in providing weekly dinner. Contact me if you are interested. Lstapleton@saint-mikes.org.

3. EDGE begins for parents 9/24 and 9/25. EDGE begins for youth 10/2. See #1.

4. Two service opportunities are on the calendar. Oct 7-Society of St. Vincent de Paul's WALK FOR THE POOR. Oct 9-Shalmon Farms service afternoon. Check them out. See #1.

5. Busch Gardens youth day (Oct 7) is open to youth as well as older teens. See the website. If your middle schooler wants to go, direct your questions to Mike Horvath (mhorvath@saint-mikes.org).

6. I always welcome suggestions and planning assistance regarding service activities and fun gatherings. Please contact me if you have ideas or would like to help get some things on the calendar!

7. If you are on this mailing list in error, "comment" and I will remove you from the list.

Ask me questions anytime. God bless you and your family.
