Thanks to everyone for coming to LifeNight last night ANNNND if you couldn't make it we missed you! We had a special guest last night, Gabri! She is a OLG youth ministry Alum, AND was even our intern for a year! She came to share her vocation story with us- it was amazing.
"My name is Gabri MacInnes. I grew up in Minnesota, but my family recently moved to Florida. I am the youngest of three daughters and I grew up in a Catholic family. We went to Mass every Sunday and my mom taught us everything she knew about the faith. I attended a private Catholic school from kindergarten through eighth grade and attended a public high school. I then went to a Catholic college." to read more about her story go here AND more importantly how to help her go here!
Don't forget! Next week is MEA sooooo no LifeNight- we start up again on 24th! See you then!
LifeNight
LifeNight's are a mixture of faith and fun, and are open to everyone who is in high school! Each LifeNight has a fun game, a testimony or teaching about a different topic of our faith, discussion, and closing prayer.
At LifeNights you will be able to talk about a variety of issues and experiences with friends and young adult leaders so that together you can grow in faith and discover how a relationship with God will help you have the best life possible! This is an incredible time to connect with friends and God in the midst of our busy lives. See more.....

LifeNight Wrap-up! October 3rd
Last night was our SECOND LifeNight of the year! We opened up the night by playing one of our favorite games- Word Smoothie! You can see all of the fun we had above! We then entered into prayer with Lectio Divina using Ecclesiastes 3:1-9 "Everything Has Its Time". We then watched a video from Father Mike about what it means to LIVE in the present moment. During small group we really went into what it means for us to live in the right now. Check out our questions below!
- What stage of life/season do you wish you were in? Why?
- What stage of life/season are you in RIGHT now?
-What is it like for you to be patient? Is it easy, hard, don't really notice it? Why or why not?
- What is your work of the day? What does God want you to work on RIGHT now?
- What do you think about the "Sacrament of the Present" moment?
Ecclesiastes 3:1-9 Everything Has Its Time
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate;a time for war, and a time for peace
