PRAYER FOCUS...
Jesus, our savior and brother, You teach us that to serve others is to act in your name. Send your Spirit to guide us; Give us your wisdom and strength as we reach out to those who need your care. Fill us with compassion, and give us your peace so that we may be faithful witnesses of your love. AMEN

CATECHISTS & PARENTS:
If you are interested in helping me facilitate some middle school Zoom check in meetings & Zoom games with the kids, please send me an email: ChelseaW@SJTBCC.org
Zoom meetings have been working well with the high schoolers and I think it’s time to offer that for middle school students. Parents, please let me know if you have the time to support this ministry.
Another kind of cool faith formation option is to tune in to the LifeTeen LIVE broadcasts every Sunday @2pm here:
Although Life Teen is usually geared more toward high schoolers, these 40 minute youth group like sessions are great for families and middle school students too. They include a skit of some sort, a welcome message, a teaching, and a musician playing worship music they have written. They last about 40 minutes :)

Parish-Wide Zoom Gathering for Adults
Zoom Meeting:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84213069192
Meeting ID: 842 1306 9192
There is an option to phone in as well, email me at joanw@sjtbcc.org to request that information.
When you arrive at the gathering, we will break into smaller groups for better opportunity to say hi to each other. Those groups will be determined by the mass time you typically attend. You will simply tell us the time that you normally attend mass by holding up a piece of paper with your first name and the mass time on it (bold ink works best).
The gathering will begin with a check-in, then we will read the gospel of the weekend, dialogue with two questions that are provided each week, and pray.
Groups are facilitated by Kathy Wickward, Amy Bonte, Anne Fredreck, and Tammari LaSharr. Chelsea Wilde and I will be there to greet you as you arrive, as will Fr. Jim from time to time.
We hope to see you this Saturday!
Blessings in Christ,
Joan Williamson

If you like these pieces by Fr. Ron Rolheiser, it might be a good time to pull out the book that you received from the parish in January celebrating our anniversary: Prayer Our Deepest Longing .
You could even ask fellow parishioners to gather for a series of zoom meetings to break open the book together!
Access the study guide via the web. Look on the back cover of the book for information.
