Hey <<First Name>>! We miss you.

In the past week, your Youth Ministry core team has been hard at work brainstorming innovative and effective ways to move forward given the current situation. We're excited to announce that youth ministry has gone digital, and we can't wait to see you at our upcoming events. Here's what we have in store...

Youth Adoration & Movie Night
|
|
This Friday, March 27 from 7:00 - about 10:00pm we will be having our first ever virtual youth adoration! This month, we will be meditation on the theme of "peace". Come spend an hour with Jesus and then join us for a screening of "Meet the Robinsons"! How will this work you ask?
Step 1: Before 7pm, download "Zoom" on your device. We will be using this for our movie night/social after!
Step 2: At 7pm, calm your heart and your mind, set up a little prayer station, and tune into this Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMBusENP19M. If music helps with prayer, you may also want to play the adoration playlist in the background: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6oZxuKPTW2JNKd0BUwdXmz?si=WqFor-xjTOKz1hb_6kRG2A !
Step 2: At 7:45pm, get cozy and movie ready and join our video call using this link: https://zoom.us/j/6587206728 or meeting ID: 658 720 6728
Step 3: At 8pm, sit back and enjoy the movie! Meet the Robinsons is available on Disney Plus if you wish to play it at the same time, but if not, we will share a screen so everyone can watch!
We understand that this is an unconventional and unusual way to go about our usual adoration night, but we really want to do what we can to keep gathering as one ministry! We hope to see you there!
Please note that we will be having our virtual Youth Adorations on the last Friday of every month!
