Our last RE/YM Intergenerational night for the 2016-17 school year was Wednesday, April 19th. Our theme for the night was Finding God -- Following the "Signs."
We shared build your own sub sandwiches, watched a power point video of our year in review (put together by Mrs. Gretzinger aka R.E.-Gretz) and shared some experiences that could be nothing other than what some people call God Winks. These are REAL encounters with the life beyond. We see/hear/feel/touch/sense and receive glimpses that are almost like a secret code between you and someone special! It's a different way of communicating, yet we are being COMMUNICATED TO...By God, and/or sometimes our loved ones who have passed on. We "know without knowing" that things will be alright. We "know without knowing" that we are receiving a message or receiving some sort of guidance.
That "knowing without knowing" has slowly and gently been happening to me over the past year. God has been whispering and telling me (in a variety of signs and ways) that "there is another place I want you to go now." And so, it is official that I will be leaving my position here at St. Agnes Parish as your Youth Minister. I WILL be accompanying all of you to Camp Tekakwitha (Extreme Faith Camp) and to Columbus, Ohio for the S.H.I.N.E. mission trips this summer. I pray for all of you and thank you from the depths of my heart for the experiences in faith that we have shared these past 4 years. I hope by sharing some of my own stories, you will become more open to God's continuous dancing in your life!
And so....this wonderful Month of May -- SO MANY THNGS TO CELEBRATE...the month of Mary, First Eucharist & May Crowning PLUS all the small moments in~between. -- all invitations to DANCE!
Thank you for this dance!
