Hey Y'all,
Welcome to summer!
June is a busy month for Mary Cat and Our Saviour's Youth going from one Mission Trip to the next!
On Friday, June 12, Middle Schooler's from Our Saviour will head off to Augusta, Georgia where we'll join 90 Middle Schoolers from 8 other parishes to participate in Homeworks Jr. High Youth Mission Trip. This is the third year we have joined up with the Church of the Good Shepherd and the other groups to serve Christ by serving the needs of others in the Augusta area. We can look forward to painting, cleaning, and all kinds of hands on work that will show others our care for God's people in the world, and amaze even ourselves with all the Middle School youth are capable of!
On Monday, June 22, our Senior High Youth will gather with 35 other participants form the diocese, and members of 20 other diocese of the province to put our hands and hearts to work at Mission on the Bay, Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, providing continuing Gulf Coast relief work. Watch this blog for pictures, stories and updates on our travels.
Soon it will be July - and that means the next phase of our Summer of Service opportunities will begin! Summer of Service is a weekly service-learning program that gives youth from our community a look at the needs to be met and the organizations seeking to help meet those needs right here in the Rock Hill area. Check out upcoming dates for service sites, and sign up with Mary Cat for S.O.S. Summer of Service 2009: God's work, our hands!
Peace, MCY
YOUTH FELLOWSHIP EVENT!!!
Hey y'all,
Sunday, March 29 has crept up on us - and do you know what that means?
We've got a gathering planned to just hang out and have fun together! So relax! No fund-raising, no projects to get done, just an afternoon of hanging out with Our Saviour's awesome youth, and working on your bowling game!
RSVP by contacting Mary Cat - and plan to meet at church at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. We'll have snacks, drinks, laughs, and rental shoes! Should be a blast!
We return at 4:30 p.m.
Youth who have helped with our fundraisers & youth service days this year will get a $5 discount, for everyone else the cost is $10 per person.
Hope to see you all on Sunday!
Peace,
MC+

More pictures from the Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Fundraiser!
First we cut the bread dough....
Lots, and lots of bread dough....
Then we roll it in cinnamon - mmm mmm!
Then we make the yummy, butter, sugar, cinnamon and other good stuff goop...
And dress the cinnamon rolls....
Don't forget the coffee....
Or to let the dough rise overnight...And you've got a delicious youth fundraiser on your hands! Oh boy!
Cinnamon Roll Breakfast a huge success!
Hey everyone -- we had a huge success on Sunday!
Our first ever youth-mission cinnamon roll breakfast fundraiser we served over 200 Cinnamon rolls, and raised over $450!
Not only that - but we took in several additional orders for dozens to go! That means that we do still have some work to do...
So, for those youth (and friendly helpful parental kitchen volunteers) please join with Mary Cat on Tuesday, November 25 at 6 p.m. for a follow-up cinnamon roll making party. It won't take long to prep. our pre-order pans, and for those who can stick around we'll have pizza for dinner. We should be done by 7:30 p.m. at the latest!
Hope you can be here Tuesday night we finish off the fundraiser wares -- and I hope you're looking forward to a repeat performance on Saturday, February 21-22 when we have our next Sr. High Youth lock-in and Cinnamon Roll breakfast fundraiser for youth mission!
Hey Everybody!
Grace and Peace to you in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
We’ve got quite a few things coming up in the next week – so take a peek below, and be in touch with me about what events I can expect your participation in. I look forward to seeing you all soon, especially now that we’re back in the beautifully restored church! See you in church! -MC
