October Week 4!
Thank you to everyone who logged on to our lessons this past month! I have been thrilled to see so many of you! Special thanks to Laurie Witt for our spiritually guided yoga last weekend as well. My old man back is feeling more flexible already!
We do not have a Zoom meeting this weekend, but I do have a couple reminders for you.
Next weekend we have the diocesan Witness event! The diocese has put together an event with plenty of music, speakers, and festivities to be shared virtually on November 1st. This will be our formation lesson for that evening. The virtual event will take place from 7-9pm on November 1st. Next Friday I will include a link to that event in the weekly Flocknote.
You still have time to join the Y2Y and Outreach teams! We are looking for first timers as well as experienced people. If you are interested, please contact me and I will walk you through the process!
Wreath Orders and Advent Wreath dates!
Outreach is selling wreaths this year via email and online orders only!
The order form is provided below.
All orders can be sent to Justin Rose at justinr@blessed-midland.org
Community & Family Building Activities!
Last week I included some family bonding activities. If you didn't get a chance to cook together or listen to the podcast, you can find the video and podcast links right here!
Journal week 4:
All high school students received a journal in your family packet. These journals are for you to use over the next 3 months. Each week you will receive a thought provoking question that has to do with the themes for the month. This month, the themes are Clothe the Naked and, the Catholic Social Teaching, Dignity of the Human Person.
Use your journal to privately respond to the question. You may also find it beneficial to have your journal handy for the Sunday Night Zoom meetings.
The question for this week is:
- How would you describe your view of God? Jesus? Is He a reality to you or more of a vague concept?
Forms for Y2Y and Outreach!

We now have separate Y2Y and Outreach Flocknote groups! Starting in November, the links to those meetings will be included only in those group notes.
Upcoming parish events!
We are also going to host a Trunk-or-Treat on October 31st! The event will take place after 4:00 Mass. Register your car here!
God bless. Stay safe.
