It was a beautiful day to reflect on all the ways God shows his love for us! Hiking in nature at Great Bear on this beautiful Autumn day was certainly a terrific way to see God's Glory and Love!

Every year, Margaret Woodruff does a great job of telling the history of how Roe vs. Wade came about. This year we finally recorded her talk! Here is the first video...look for additional videos for the rest of the story! So interesting...

If you've ever wanted to give a gift to share your faith, without saying much...and know that it's something EVERYONE would LOVE...Team Awesomeness has just the thing!

We'll be selling our Starlight Cookies for just $12 each at Holy Trinity church in Fulton on Saturday, November 12th during the Harvest Dinner...and then also at St Stephens church in Phoenix on Sunday, November 20th during the Altar Rosary Craft & Bake Sale.

Here's the story and ingredients in the jars:

- Chopped Nuts to represent the rocky road the little family traveled on.
- White chocolate chips for the stars in the sky.
- Dried cranberries whose tartness symbolize the doors shut to Mary and Joseph.
- Sugar to represent the snow.
- Brown sugar for the brown hills of Bethlehem.
- Rolled oats to symbolize the animals in the stable where they found shelter.
- Flour for the simple goodness of the shepherds in the fields they passed.

What a great 1st day we had for Youth Group on Sunday! Our 7th and 8th graders got to know each other and begin to understand what youth group is all about...Friends, Faith, Food and Fun! We set the ground rules on how to make the most of our time together. We learned how Saint Teresa Avila viewed prayer as a castle...with God and our Soul talking to each other in the inner-most room. And then we learned about our Guardian Angel, and how to ask for their help.

Next youth group will be Sunday, Oct 16th from 11:30-1:30 at St. Stephens Church in Phoenix NY. Hope to see y'all again...and bring a friend or two. All 7th and 8th graders are welcome!
