No High School Youth Ministry this Sunday!

Hey you guys. Due to DYC (Diocesan Youth Conference), and Confirmation Rehearsal, we will not have high school youth ministry this Sunday (3/15). We will have just come off the conference and I, Hope, am a Confirmation sponsor, so need to be at the rehearsal that evening.
I encourage you all to attend the Youth mass at 5pm. Eucharistic Ministers for that Mass are Cody Hooker, Sarah Gilbertson, Nick Spatharos, and Amanda Gardner.

CLARIFICATION: Jr. High Relgious Ed. will hold classes as usual, Confirmation will have their rehearsal. This is ONLY pertaining to High School Youth Ministry.

High School Bible Study during Lent

T and I wanted to let everyone know that we will be having an alternative to bible study during the Lenten Season. We thought it was the perfect time to switch it up a little.

Fr. Andrew is holding a series of lectures on the Sacraments on Wednesday evening beginning at 7pm at church. This is going through the Lenten Season. We're really excited about this since Fr. Andrew is extremely knowledgeable about all things Catholic. It should prove to be very informativead and answer questions you may have as to why we do certain things, etc. Youth AND parents are welcome! Please call Hope at 233-3359 or email hjeffcoat1@aol.com to let me know if you'd like to attend so I can let Fr. Andrew know.

T and I look forward to seeing you all there!

Classes WILL be held tonight (March 1st)

There was question about whether we would hold classes tonight with the threat of snow this evening. I just got a call from Fr. Andrew and we will hold classes as usual tonight from 6-7:30pm. If you have any questions, please call the parish office at 345-3962.
Thanks, Hope

Youth Ski Trip 2009

We had such a great time on the ski trip this past weekend. It was perfect skiing conditions. The snow was like powder and it was absolutely beautiful! God is good! We only had one minor injury which was a hurt wrist due to snowboarding without wrist guards. We'll be bringing those next year. :)

Concert to benefit We Care Center in memory of Daniel Douglas!

I got this email from Stephen Wessinger of SpiritDriven from St. Peter's Luthern Church. If you are able to make it to this concert, please go and support their efforts. This concert is to benefit the We care Center of Chapin in memory of Daniel Douglas.

God Bless!

Hello Hope,
My name is Stephen Wessinger and I participate in the Contemporary Christian Band, "SpiritDriven" based out of St. Peter Lutheran Church in Chapin. I wanted to send you an email to let you know that we are putting on a concert to benefit We Care of Chapin on Sunday, February 8th at 5:00pm at St. Peter Lutheran. We would greatly appreciate it if you could maybe mention this in your announcements or post this info where folks might see it, or even get this to your Youth leaders.
We are asking that folks bring a non-perishable food item(s) to the concert. All all donations, food and monetary, will be given to to We Care in memory of Daniel Douglas, former Chapin High student who was killed in an auto accident this past fall.
The theme for the concert is "Love Infusion - a concert of Faith, Hope and Love". All of the music, scripture, and prayers will be focusing on this theme. SpiritDriven plays music from Casting Crowns, David Crowder Band, Third Day, MercyMe, etc. SpiritDriven is made up of Chapin High students and other members of the congregation. This will be a great concert for all ages and we would love to see you there.
You can find out more information about the band by visiting http://www.spiritdrivenmusic.com/ or better yet, check us out on Facebook and "be a Friend"!

"I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child - murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?"
