Also happening THIS WEEK at LifeTeen:
We will be having separate men's/women's talks and discussion on the topics of Sexuality and Chastity with our high-schoolers - what we were made for and what that means for our relationships. We'll have the chance to learn more about the Catholic perspective on dating and friendships as well as topics such as birth-control, attraction, and what a Christ-centered relationship looks like. We will have time for discussion - come ready with questions and to discuss!!

In Edge (middle school), we will review! Will be fun :)

For dinner: Nacho nite!

P.S. - Seniors of St. John Catholic Church, Knights of Columbus Scholarship applications are due TODAY. See the weekly Flocknote or bulletin for details.
