November Week 1!
This weekend we have the diocesan Witness event! The diocese has put together an event with plenty of music, speakers, and festivities to be shared virtually on November 1st. This will be our formation lesson for that evening. The virtual event will take place from 7-9pm on November 1st.

Along with materials to make your family prayer space, each high school student received 3 sheets of origami paper. By following the video above, you can create a simple prayer message to leave for others. Here is what to do with your completed crosses:
1. Be sure to include a prayer. Write your prayer on the paper before you begin folding. Here is a good one:
Loving Provider, thank You for those who are shining lights, and please call forth others to make a difference. Be a light for those who work in Your name to feed the hungry. Continue to use relief workers to bring not only much-needed food but to also show Your love so people can be fed spiritually and physically.
2. Fold your cross.
3. Give your cross to a family member, friend, or neighbor and ask them to put is somewhere they can see it every day during the month of November. (During normal times, I would ask you to leave the cross in a library book, or someplace where a stranger could find it.)
Order a wreath for a loved one, neighbor, or friend, who needs some Christmas joy!
Outreach is selling wreaths this year via email and online orders only!
The order form is provided below.
Last day of sales is November 10th!
All orders can be sent to Justin Rose at justinr@blessed-midland.org

November Week 1:
All high school students received a journal in your family packet. These journals are for you to use over the next 3 months. Each week you will receive a thought provoking question that has to do with the themes for the month. This month, the themes are Clothe the Naked and, the Catholic Social Teaching, Dignity of the Human Person.
Use your journal to privately respond to the question. You may also find it beneficial to have your journal handy for the Sunday Night Zoom meetings.
The question for this week is:
- Most people in America say they believe in God. What does believing in God mean to you? How do you converse with people who do not believe in God?
God bless. Stay safe.
