Homeless Teens, The Passion Play, & Confirmation

Did you know that 13 teens die on the streets every day? That these teens are out there surviving only by stealing, begging, selling drugs or by prostituting. The reasons they are there usually mean that where they came from was worse than living on the street. StandUp for Kids is an organization created to help homeless and street kids by actually going out finding them and ministering to their needs.

Becca Orchard came to this past Sunday to open our eyes to this very real problem and has given us a chance to take an active role in living out our responsibilities as followers of Christ.

Diana, Brian, Kitty and Tim put faces to the homeless teens. They told the actual stories of what happened to them and why they are out there fighting every day for their lives. If you are interested in helping out in any way please contact Cassi. You can also visit the StandUp for Kids website and check out the different ways you can contribute (http://www.standupforkids.org/).

Here's a little video from the lifenite playing musical chairs.


What is this Friday? That's right it's Good Friday!!! Come Friday night at 7pm to watch the Passion acted out by some of your very own. Remember the death that brought us all life.

This weekend is Easter so there is not a Lifenite on Sunday. Everyone have a wonderful time spending it with your families.

Confirmation is next Tuesday April 18th at 7:30pm. That is the time it will actually start not the time you need to show up there if you're being confirmed. We invite everyone to come meet the Archbishop and support all those confirming their Catholic faith.

Have a wonderful week!
God Bless
Eric
