This Monday: 11/23 - Pio House EDGE Night
6:00-8:00pm - Main Parish Hall
Quick note about this EDGE night: We will be covering the topic of the day to day stresses and anxieties the youth may be experiencing and how Jesus experienced these emotions. We will also be explaining the difference between the emotion of anxiety and a potential anxiety disorder. We will use this time to encourage any youth who may have the experience of anxiety interfering with their daily life to talk to a parent or trusted adult.
I am excited to announce that we will be offering an additional small group series called Castaway for our middle school youth. This series will offer an opportunity for the youth to gather on the weeks that their EDGE house isn't meeting. The 6th and 7th grade will meet separately from the 8th grade group and the series will take place over the course of three weeks. This series will help the youth build community among their small group, we will have significant time for games and fellowship, but it will also help them discover what Jesus teaches us about friendship so they can form and foster good friendships.
6th&7th meet Fridays on Dec. 4, Dec. 11, and Dec.18 @ 4-6pm in the youth center
8th meet Sundays on Nov. 29, Dec. 6, and Dec. 13 @ 6:20-8:20pm in the youth center
8th meet Sundays on Nov. 29, Dec. 6, and Dec. 13 @ 6:20-8:20pm in the youth center
Need access to the readings? Visit www.usccb.org and click on Daily Readings. Over the course of the coming weeks, each family in the parish will be receiving a copy of "Reading God's Word" as a gift, so that we can deepen our faith through the Word. You'll be able to pick them up at Mass and at other parish activities throughout November.
Below are some options for you, your family, or a small group of friends this Sunday or during the week if it's not your house's night to attend Life Night (or even if it is!) Check 'em out!
