EASTER SUNDAY

Easter is coming up this Sunday! There will be an Easter Egg Hunt for the pre-K - grade 5 kids, and you are invited to help hide eggs during Communion. If you are available to help hide eggs please let me know!

As Easter and Spring Break are approaching, we will have a couple of weeks off from Youth Group. So no Youth Group this weekend or the following weekend.

Youth Group resumes on April 10 in the Upper Room. Make sure to mark the date for April 17, for the Better Together Progressive dinner (see flyer in last week's post)! Here is the April calendar:

April 10: Upper Room (Middle School 5 - 6:15; High School 6:30 - 7:45)

April 24: Upper Room

This Sunday we will have Youth Group in the Upper Room.  Middle school meets from 5 - 6:15 pm; high school meets from 6:30 - 7:45 pm.  

 We will not have Youth Group on Easter Sunday or the following Sunday (March 27) for Spring Break (April 3).  So make sure to be there this Sunday!

 Also, mark the date for April 17 for the Better Together progressive dinner.  See the below for details!

Pancake Brunch, this Sunday! 

This Sunday is our annual Pancake Brunch!  Help make this another excellent celebration of our youth and parish as we come together both in fellowship, and to raise money for our youth program.  

For all our youth serving, you will be the first to eat.  Food will be ready for you by 9:45 at the latest.  Those of you serving on the early shift will already be there; those of you serving from 10 -12 pm, make sure to come a little early so as to get your breakfast.  

If you have forgotten your shift time, let me know.

 

Upcoming Community Meals. Feb 14 

On Feb 14, the youth group will be leading the Community Meals program at Christ Church in Waukegan.  This will be a great service opportunity as we are called to feed the hungry.  Come and join us as we prepare a meal and serve the community!   

Plan to be at St. Gregory's at 11:15 am on Sunday, as we will leave from St. Gregory's at 11:30 am.  We should return by 3:30 pm.   

Please let me know if you are planning on participating so that we can plan for servers and drivers. 

 

No Youth Group Mother's Day Weekend

As this is Mother's Day weekend, there will be no Youth Group.

Please let me know if you will be able to attend so that we can plan for drivers.

Feed My Starving Children, May 14

Mark your calendars for May 14, as we will be preparing meals to help alleviate global hunger. FMSC is a fantastic organization that enlists groups to feed the hungry. We'll pack meals together, and then go out for lunch. Mark the date!
