Happy Friday everybody!
I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! It's starting to really feel like Fall is just around the corner...which means the start of the Faith Formation year is just around the corner too! Don't forget to register for YM if you haven't already! You can register online by clicking on the link below. I'm also still looking for a few adults to help lead small groups (any grade). Read below for more information on that!
Middle School YM Calendar
Here are the dates that the Middle School YM Sunday program will meet this year. All middle schoolers are welcome to attend, even if they are not members of Blessed Sacrament.
At this time, the parish is asking all YM participants and volunteers to wear masks during programming.
YM Kick-Off Event // September 26
Kick-off is always a fun event, but this year, we're going big! We'll play games, give away prizes, learn about how God reveals Himself to us, and just enjoy being together again! Hope to see you there!
Adult Volunteers Needed!
Are you interested in passing on our faith to the next generation? I'm looking for adults who would like to serve as YM small group leaders. That might sound daunting, but we have a lot of fun, and the responsibilities may be fewer than what you'd expect.
- Out of the two hours that we meet each week, one hour is large-group time, game time, and activities that are lead by me, and one hour is small group time where you would be leading 15 middle schoolers in activities and a teaching.
- I provide you with every lesson plan and all the materials. So there's no guess-work! The lesson plan is so detailed, it tells you everything you'll say to the kids.
- You don't need any experience or degrees for this position! All that's required is that you care about kids and that you love Jesus.
Please email me at christines@blessed-midland.org if you are interested in helping out! Thank you!
Water Walk Follow Up
In April we had a Water Walk to raise awareness about people around the world who have to walk miles to fetch water (which is often dirty) for their families. At the event, we also raised money to drill a well for a village in India. And, now...the well is in! There is a whole village of people who now have access to clean water because of all you families who participated in that walk! Isn't that awesome!? Here's a picture of it! :)
Have a great weekend!
