Hello Families,
\nCongratulations to our First Communicants; Matteo Deluca, Chloe Haddad, Lucas Miner, Jack Ostroskie and Ryan York! We look forward to seeing our families for our May Crowning celebration on Wednesday night at 5:30pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Family Prayer – Family Rosary<\/em><\/strong>
\nIn the month of May, we remember Mary, the Mother of God, in a special way.
\nA beautiful way to honor Mary is to pray a rosary. For a refresher on how to pray the
\nrosary, visit rosarycenter.org<\/p>\n

Liturgy Link<\/strong> – When Jesus begins a phrase with “Amen, amen, I say to you,” it means, “pay attention, this is important!” The word “amen” by itself means “so be it” or “I believe”. Count how many times you say the word “amen” at Mass today.<\/p>\n

Partners in Faith,

Join the Vacation Bible School Adventure: Help Bring Rainforest Falls to Life!<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe need help with the following:<\/p>\n

Coordinator<\/strong><\/span>
\nA coordinator for VBS would help prepare & guide this summer’s program (June 22-26) starting around May. This role works closely with the Faith Formation staff and includes organizing materials, supporting volunteers, and helping create a fun, faith-filled week for our parish kids.<\/p>\n

Station Leaders<\/strong><\/span>
\nStation leaders are at the heart of Rainforest Falls and they’re the ones who bring each station to life\u00ad preparing simple lessons, guiding activities, and showing children what a friendship with God looks like in everyday life.
\nWe have five stations that need adult leaders this year:
\n\u2022 Rooted Bible Adventures – Anticipate changed hearts as you guide kids in unforgettable Bible adventures!
\n\u2022 Treetop Treats – Prepare snacks that’ll have children going bananas!
\n\u2022 Imagination Station – Guide kids in spotting God’s hand … in science!
\n\u2022 Sticky Scripture – Show kids through videos that they can leap into God’s Word like never before.
\n\u2022 Wild Games – Lead games kids will be squawking about!<\/p>\n

If you enjoy working with children and feel comfortable speaking to a group, we would love to have you join us. (A background check and a Protecting God’s Children class-online or in person-are required.) All stations have a leader manual that you will get ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Crew Leaders<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe need teens from 7th grade to high school to be Crew Leaders. Crew Leaders don’t have to prepare anything; they just come each day, guide their Crew members (of 5 or 6 kids) through activities, help facilitate discussions, and generally join in the fun.<\/p>\n

Help With Decorating<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe week before VBS, we’ll be transforming the Activities Center into a rainforest! If you can climb ladders, move furniture, or help hang decorations, we’d be thrilled to have your help on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (June 16, 17 & 18) during the day.<\/p>\n

If any of these roles sound like a good fit for you, please call or email the Faith Formation office. We’d love to welcome you to our team! Ph # 734-261-5920 or email<\/strong> pchudzinski@stgenevieve.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
