GIFT – Thursday Thoughts For Sept. 15, 2010
What a great start to our 2010-11 year of GIFT! See the picture.
53 of the 73 registered families attended the retreat either on Saturday or Sunday last weekend. We did not video tape the adult segment this time, so those who missed a fun time, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you pick up your packet in the Gathering Area this weekend, Sept. 18-19(on table with green cloth).

Packet contains:
-The Calendar -Hand-out sheet from Daryl’s Adult presentation on the early
-K-4-Gr. 5 materials Christian community
-Food schedule - Information on optional adult small faith groups in the
home(explained by Nate Lasnoski, one of the GIFT participants).
-Service opportunities
WE ARE THE CHURCH is our theme for this year. We saw excellent of this already at the retreat.
As a review for all the GIFT participants, please read again these Scripture passages sometime this month: Acts 2:14-21, Acts4:42-47 and Acts 15:1-28.
Be sure to check the Gospel question of the week in the bulletin and discuss it with you family, either before going to Mass or after. Some families even have someone read the Gospel from their copy of At Home with the Word on the way to Mass.
Thank you to all the people who helped teach the children during the retreat. We are also grateful to the Knights of Columbus for providing our wonderful pancake breakfast on Sunday. They donated their time & the food.
Sue will be attaching a family activity.
Next month we will be distributing the House of Peace information for the poor as a service project.
Next GIFT core meeting is on Monday, October 18 at 7PM in the cafeteria. WE NEED HELP! We need input from you, the GIFT participants, to shape the GIFT program, to plan and implement the ideas for each session. Please consider being on this important committee. Call Sue or S. Carol Ann for more info.
