YOUTH GROUP NEWS for July 12, 2020
We are better with you than we are without you, and so are you.
Any school … All Saints, St. Vincent Ferrer, and any other parish, and your friends!
7th & 8th grade for Junior High Youth Group; 9th -12th grade for High School Youth Group and Highschoolers of the Well (HOW).
Jesus taught in parables to help many of His followers understand His message.
Today we are blessed to hear the parable of the sower and the seed (Matthew 13:1-23).
The seed the sower sowed fell on the path, on rocky ground, among thorns, and on rich soil. Only that which fell on rich soil grew abundantly and was sustained. Jesus said
“the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the Word and understands it”. As we hear His Word, let’s work unceasingly on our gardening skills. Let’s nurture His Word with attention and care. Let’s clear the weeds we encounter, big and small, root and all.
Let’s water and fertilize with study and prayer among family, friends, and small groups. Let’s keep vigilant for, prevent when possible, and eliminate if necessary, those pests which seek to injure or impede our growth. Let’s be fruitful. Let it grow! Let it grow!
Junior High and High School Youth Groups & HOW Schedule:
Hey, hey … How you doin’? We miss you, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
We sure wish we could gather a huge group of you for Youth Group, but we are not YET able to do that. Please know that we will again. Also know that we are praying for you, and cheering for you! Please find time for prayer. Get Jesus. Be one who “adds” love.
Keep the Faith. Grow your Faith. Believe. Be Hopeful! Be kind. Do well; do good; smile.
HOW good! We’re planning to gather about every other Monday evening during the Summer from 7:00 – 8:30PM. Please know that ALL High School folks, including those entering High School in the Fall, from ALL High Schools, are enthusiastically welcome. You can expect some good conversation, some prayer, some laughs, and some really good folks about your age. We will gather again Monday July 13, either around the fire-pit in front of Church or under the Father Dennis Pavilion.
We really hope you will join us. HOW is the Holy Spirit working in you!?
