Everyone remember that the Mass schedule is different this week! We have a bunch of Christmas Eve Masses and only the 9 o'clock mass on Sunday, Christmas Day. Have a blessed Christmas and I'll see everyone in the new year!

I know its been a while since I posted anything...November has been SO BUSY...I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and is ready to enjoy our last few weeks of the year. We will be meeting for youth group this coming Sunday December 4th and we will be having adoration night with the 8th-12th grade students! Also the t-shirts have come in and they look great! They will be available for pick up Sunday night in my office immediately following youth ministry. ($16.00)
Also we have a few events coming up that I'm excited to place up here on the blog.
- This coming Saturday the High School Youth Ministry will be meeting at the Sharing Center in Cocoa for a day of service starting at 9:30 am and we'll be finishing up around 2:00 pm. Please email me if you plan on attending and if you have any questions.
- We also have our Java with Jesus Bible Study tomorrow Thursday, December 1st at Panera Bread from 5:30 until 7 pm. Just bring a bible and we'll all sit and eat and discuss a lesson. It's a lot of fun and gives everyone a chance to socialize, eat awesome food and learn a little bit about their faith.
- This coming Sunday we will be celebrating adoration in the church with Father Peter. Our last adoration was spectacular and I'm excited to offer it again for our teens and parish at large.
- Also on December 16th (Friday) the youth ministry will be volunteering for our first ever parents night out. This will give parents of young children the opportunity to have a night to drop off their kids with us for a fun night so they can take care of last minute shopping or just have a nice night to themselves! We will need lots of teens to assist in this fun night with our young Catholics!
- On a final note, our annual spaghetti dinner fundraiser will take place on Sunday December 18th from 1-4 pm. We will need lots of volunteers for this as well. We will be cooking serving cleaning and interacting with parishioners who come out to support our ministry!

We had such an awesome time last friday with the Trunk or Treat Haunted House! I know that we had over 250 kids pass through our ghostly exhibit and whether I wanted to admit it or not...even I got a little scared walking through it once or twice! If you check out the photo gallery inside the St. John's Webpage they have even higher resolution larger copies of these pictures, plus some of the amazing trunks that were decorated for the little ones!

Just found this video on the writing of "Our God" by Chris Tomlin and Matt Maher and thought it was cool. You should check it out.
