Real Love, Real Life!

Hello parents,

Outcry was great this past weekend! We had a guest speaker go over the 10 Commandments and the history behind them as well as a plan of action to overcome sin.

We also discussed how Jesus simplified (not replaced them) with “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” He goes on to say that if we do this we will live...the bible is the greatest love story ever written...if we are following the commandments, we are loving God, our neighbor & ourselves in the way God calls us to & we will be full of life in Him.

I'm looking forward to class this Sunday October 22, 6:00 - 8:00 PM. It's a VERY special night with a live music guest & it's important that ALL students attend...can't wait!!!

If you need a copy of our schedule, Confirmation questions, etc. please first check our website: http://www.emmausparish.org/outcry

I also hope you can make it to our night of reflection on Theology of the Body for Adults (both men & women) "The Healing Power of Love: Discover the truth of your sexuality & for what you are created." This night of reflection will help you interact more meaningfully with your child about what the church teaches on our sexuality & the beauty of it - not as distorted by the world.
It's THIS Thursday, October 19, 7:00 - 9:00 PM in the youth space.
