BUT.....we have the internet......

Meeting Sunday March 29,2020

We will be having a virtual meeting .... details were sent via email to all the emails we have of the Youth Group.
If you did not recieve an e-mail with the link to "Zoom"
which is the only way to get on
...email either Karen or Jason at Youthgroup@marymotherofgod.org

if you did not get the e-mail or need help getting on or call us, since you all have our numbers but can't post them here.  
See you all tomorrow night!!!
 

  Last night, over 10,000 teens, parents, and youth ministers gathered together virtually for worship, teaching, and fellowship. If you ever needed proof that God is still with us during crisis, this is it.  What a beautiful night!
If you (and your teens) were there, we want to say a HUGE thank you for joining us. You are such a rockstar for loving your teens and Jesus so much that you won't let social distancing stop your ministry! Thank you for your  time, for your  generosity, for your  support, and for just being  YOU!
If you weren't able to make it last night – we hope to see you and your students next weekend!
A lot of people have asked about a replay – especially to send out to the parents in their ministry, and we've heard you...
At the bottom of this email is a URL that you can send out to all of your families so they can access a replay of the night. The replay page also includes a parent guide that parents of your teens can use to encourage family conversation and prayer based on the content of that broadcast. ( You can watch the replay here too.)
We've even included a pre-written email so you can get that replay out to the families at your parish quickly and easily (it's also at the bottom of this email). Just copy, paste, and send! (Feel free to add your own thoughts about the night too!)
Honestly, we never thought this program would grow this big. We just set out to serve our favorite people in the world (youth ministers like you) during this crazy time. We do it to take at least one thing off your overfilled plate – and because we believe in investing in this incredible generation of young people.
We love doing ProjectYM Live, but we really do need your help. Several of you have already donated to this program – y'all are awesome –but we need more parishes to step forward to help offset our costs. If every parish that signed up just donated their snack budget for the month, we could run ProjectYM Live every week for the rest of the school year. If you can do that,  HEAD TO THE RESOURCES PAGE and fill out the donate info at the bottom of the page. 
Speaking of the resources page, later this evening we'll be adding promo graphics for next weekend's ProjectYM Live – featuring the amazing Katie Prejean McGrady and worship led by Jeremy Rodriguez!
Remember, the ministry you do is IMPORTANT. And YOU MATTER. 
We love you!
- Michael and Crystal -
Ps. If there's anything else we can do to serve you and your community, don't hesitate to ask.

THE PARENT EMAIL:
Last night was the BIGGEST CATHOLIC YOUTH NIGHT EVER! It was an amazing experience being able to gather and worship with over 10,000 teens, parents, and youth workers from all over the country!
In case you (or your student) missed it last night, I wanted to send you the link to the replay. If you have a few minutes (sixty actually), click the link below to learn, worship, and pray along with us.
The link below also has a PDF you can print out with some discussion questions and prayer to encourage family conversation and prayer based on the content from last night. I hope you take advantage of this opportunity to faith share and grow closer together as a family spiritually.
We'll be meeting again next week to worship with Jeremy Rodriguez and learn from Katie Prejean McGrady. Don't forget to join us at 7PM Central!
Remember that even tho we are apart physically, I am still here for your teen and your family. Please reach out with prayer requests, concerns, just to say HI!, or to share funny stories.
Praying for your whole family!
