Dear Villagers, Great to see so many of you for our second Village of the year! Also, it was lots of fun to hit each other with the giant newspaper, and the sardines were fun too. :)The word of the week is LIFE! As Catholics we are called to stand as a witness for the unborn, those who are so vulnerable of being aborted. Of course being pro-life includes so many other LIFE issues- such as embryonic stem cell research, end of life issues, birth control, and so much more. Thanks to your feedback this past week we will be developing a great plan for our "Respect Life" Village this Sunday.
But wait, there's more! In addition to discussing these issues in the safety and comfort of our church building- join us beforehand as we step out as activists in Ann Arbor at the corner of Washtenaw and Huron Parkway! This Sunday from 2-3:30pm is the annual Life Chain, a peaceful and prayerful witness of pro-lifers standing together for the unborn. This event is hosted by area churches, last year there were nearly 150 children, families and teens! Even Father Jeff came out last year and led us in the Rosary. Don't miss this annual event to pray and stand as a witness for LIFE!
God Bless You All!

Grown Up Soda
When you volunteer with GUS you become a Christian Role Model to young Catholics. GUS is such an important ministry! Due to the sensitive nature of volunteering with Middle School students, there is some paperwork to be done! All GUS Volunteers must fill out Responding to Grace, as well as the Diocesan Code of Conduct ASAP.

As usual, great Village :-)
I really liked the talk!
Hope to see a TON of people at the Life Chain!
Hello Beth,
This is Lowell Stoltzfus, the doc in Varanasi. Thank you for your kind note on my blog. I have been scratching my head how you heard about it... one of those "degrees of separation" things.
I enjoyed (and share) your insights into India, the extremes are so mind boggling sometimes.
Again, thanks for your note. Look us up on Facebook sometime.
Blessings!
Lowell
