Dear Villagers,
Thank you to everyone for a wonderful kickoff to our third year of Youth Ministry at St Thomas! With nearly 40 of us there last night, it was great to see so many new faces.
Our theme for the semester is 'Come and See', words Jesus spoke to the disciples when he first encountered them near Bethany. That invitation is issued to each of us at every moment! Christianity is not merely a philosophy- it is not about obligations or good works, but about an encounter with Christ.
Join us this semester at The Village as we Encounter Christ in Eucharistic Adoration and in one another. Pope John Paul II calls out to each of us- "only an encounter with Jesus can give full meaning to our lives!"

Join us next Sunday from 5-6:30 as we discuss Our Lord Jesus. Could he have been a good moral teacher but not God, as some suggest? Just who was Jesus of Nazareth- was He a Liar, a Lunatic, or Lord?
