Maundy
Thursday
Overnight
The
Maundy Thursday overnight will be held this year on Thursday, April 17th
beginning at 7:00 pm. We will be
going to the 7:00 pm traditional service together and then having a short break
before the Senior High planned reflection service at 8:30pm. The overnight is highly encouraged for all
youth in the Confirmation program and is open to those in 8th
grade-12th grade. Please sign up in the parish hall ASAP if you
plan to attend.
We will use the Senior High
Youth Group meeting on Sunday, April 13th to plan the Maundy
Thursday reflection service. The 9th-12th graders will put on the service, but anyone in the
parish is encouraged to attend.

Cleaning
Day
The parish is holding a cleaning day on
Saturday, April 12th from 9
am - 1 pm. All members of the parish, youth
included, are encouraged to roll up their sleeves and pitch in. Many hands make
less work and more fun.

Confirmation
The
Spring Confirmation service will be held on Sunday, May 11th at the
9 am service here at St. John’s.
A separate mailing went out to parents and sponsors of our 10th
graders with additional information. After the Maundy Thursday overnight,
Alison will be making contact with each youth to find out if s/he would like to
be confirmed this May.
The last Confirmation
meeting for the 10th graders is Sunday, April 13th at
5:00 pm. We
will be having a pizza dinner with Father Jay. This will be a time to get any
unresolved questions answered, review some of the things we learned, and enjoy
some time together.

Erik
and
Kelly
Update
Our friends, Erik and Kelly, from the Great Northern TEC
community are recovering very well from their car accident last month. Erik
goes back to the Doctor in a few weeks to find out how the surgery went and to
see when he can start getting around without the walker. Kelly’s head scan came
back fine and just needs to stick with the neck brace until her neck heals. A special thank-you goes out to the Junior
High Youth Group who made get well cards for both of them. They were very
touched. Please keep them in your prayers.

For
The
Month
“If you see good in people, you radiate a harmonious
loving energy which uplifts those who are around you. If you can maintain this
habit, this energy will turn into a steady flow of love.”

The mission trip details are all ironed out. We will be

is May 1st. Youth from other parishes are welcome to join us,
but they must also register by May 1st. We will be leaving for Camp the morning of June 11th
and returning on June 15th in the evening. We will be preparing the
