We want to invite all high school teens to join our parish Life Teen youth group!

This summer we are planning opportunities for our students to continue to grow in their faith. We have recently united with other Christian churches in the area to bring our religious communities together in our commonalities. We are excited to attend the Connect Conference at Hope Christian Church June 25th-27th in the evenings. This Conference will include speakers, dinner and social time. It is open to all incoming 6th-12th graders in the area. We will continue to discuss the Conference at our Life Teen and Edge meetings. Please contact us to register for the Conference. We also will be planning a day retreat for all those entering high school, during the summer. In July we have been asked to serve lunch and organize games for the needy of the area at our parish. Our parish will host these families July 1st-3rd, 5th. We will keep you posted about other opportunities his summer.

  I felt hurt and betrayed by the Lord when I knew that He never relented, which left me even more confused and withdrawn. If He was perfect love, why was I angry with Him?
