Happy New Year!

I hope you all had wonderful Christmas and New Year celebrations and are excited for the opportunities and blessings that 2024 is sure to bring! :) We can't wait to see everyone back at YM this Sunday!

This Sunday at YM

This Sunday, we'll be exploring Epiphany a little bit before we dive into our next Corporal Work of Mercy: Shelter the Homeless. We will hear in the Gospel reading this Sunday about Herod and his plot to have the Magi tell him where the Christ child is so that he may kill him. It was because of Herod that the Holy Family spent some time as homeless refugees, fleeing to Egypt in order to keep Jesus safe. We'll also hear stories from some modern-day individuals who have experienced homelessness and learn that we can't always judge a book by its cover.

No YM next Sunday, January 14

Midland Public Schools have a three-day weekend next week, so we do not have a regular YM meeting that Sunday. HOWEVER, we WILL be offering a service project on Monday, January 15 for all middle schoolers! Read all about it below!

Service Project at Open Door // January 15

In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we will be preparing and serving dinner for the residents of Open Door on Monday, January 15! All middle schoolers are welcome to participate!

Drop-off: 4:00 PM

Pick-up: You have two options. Parents are welcome to join us for dinner, in which case, you should plan on arriving at 6:00 PM. If you are not planning on joining us for dinner, you can arrive at 6:30 PM. All parents must come into the building to pick-up their child(ren).

Please fill out the permission slip to register your child for this opportunity! Thank you! :)

We need parent volunteers in 2024!

We're short on regular volunteers this year, and while our small group leaders have been doing a FANTASTIC job leading the students, we could really use some extra help for our remaining meetings of the school year! We're asking parents to sign up for just one meeting from January through March to simply be an aide either in your child's small group or in another small group. (You do not have to help out in the same grade that your child is in.) The entire lesson is planned out and prepared AND you would simply be following the lead of our regular small group leaders as they teach the group. Click the button below to choose your date and small group that you would like to help out in! THANK YOU SO MUCH! :)
