We’ve been busy this summer!
Here’s an inside look into what summer programming has looked like for St. Ann Children’s and Youth Ministry! Most importantly its a glimpse into how Jesus has been working in the young hearts of our community :)
our middle and highschoolers have been gathering each thursday this summer to participate in mass, fellowship with games and lunch, and study the bible together! see some highlights here :) https://stann.smugmug.com/2223-High-School-Ministry/Food-for-the-Soul-Summer/
this year we had a record breaking number of kids at vbs for our stellar theme! pre-k thru 4th graders learned more about jesus’s love and how to shine his light in the world around them! they played games, sang songs, worshipped jesus, and met new friends! https://stann.smugmug.com/2223-St-Ann-Kids/VBS-2023
in april we hosted our annual spring retreat at camp sweeney! teens enjoyed outdoor activities, worship, talks, small group time, and loads of Jesus-filled fun during the weekend
Each wednesday night high schoolers have gathered with their friends at a local park to play sand volleyball, spikeball, frisbee, and have a great time with Christ-centered frinds!
over 300 middle schoolers participated in midsummer madness during june! everyone was able to get to know jesus better through worship, games, talks, adoration, and a water day to top it off! https://stann.smugmug.com/2223-Middle-School-Ministry/MIDDLE-SCHOOL-MADNESS
we travelled with 100 teens to laredo texas for a mission trip to help build homes, repair rooves, build additions to churches, and much more! the teens were able to learn more about jesus and find concrete ways to dive deeper into their faith through night sessions, worship, daily mass, and prayer with their peers! https://stann.smugmug.com/2223-High-School-Ministry/Mission-Laredo-2023
