More Pictures from Two Steps and Lots of stuff going on...

Heres Some More Pictures from too Steps Last weekend:









Alot Was going on this weekend. On saturday the Youth group hosted a Christmas party for the little kids in the parish. It went extremely well. There were about 60 kids there with their parents. Thank you to all who were there to help out. Please get your community service forms filled out so Mrs. B can sign them if you want hours for working at the party. We didn't go to the coffee house cause no one wanted to (mostly). Sunday the youth group went to visit a couple of homebound people down the street. They sang carols to them, give them a present, and read from the day's 2nd Reading.
This thursday, December 21 we will be decorating the Church at 5pm and having stations of the Cross, and I think, pizza. Hope to see you all there.

Enjoy the last week of Advent.


Heres what Fr. Al had to say about the Youth group's efforts this past weekend:

Hi,

Feed back from your visit with the elderly is tremendous! I can’t describe the impact you made except to say that is was something most had never experienced before – especially your strong SPTITUALITY! Music to my ears…

I look forward to your helping with the church decorating – nativity set and flowers – some ribbons – some lights …

Fr. Al

YOU ARE ALL V E R Y SPECTACULAR! IT WAS A STUPENDOUS PARY – THE THINGS THAT YOU DO NOT ONLY RESULT IN TREMENDOUR GRACE FOR YOUR PERSONAL INTENTIONS – BUT FOR THE WHOLE PARISH AS WELL!

I LOVE YOU ALL.

Fr. Al Merry Christmas…

Christmas Mass and party

Sunday the youth group held a Christmas mass in the Sacristy for its members, parents, and anyone else who wanted to attend. It was a great spiritual experience that brought the group closer in Christ. Afterwards we went to Two Steps for dinner. I think I can speak on behalf of everyone and say that everyone had a killer time. Thanks alot to Fr. Al for celebrating mass for us and to Mrs. Barlow Hansen for the gifts and for dinner.


This saturday is the kid's Christmas party for the little kiddies. Be in the parish hall at 11am. The party starts at 1 but we gotta set up.

See everyone then
