News for GLVN Volunteers (Thông Tin cho Thầy Cô GLVN)
May 18, 2017
First off -- THANK YOU to everyone for the patience, flexibility and teamwork last Sunday. Despite the short notice on change of plans, we were still able to have a great day doing many different things to serve the church and show our love to others.
And now -- this is it! Our last Sunday of GLVN for this year.
Words cannot express how grateful I am to have had this opportunity to serve with you this year. Countless blessings experienced, and so many seeds planted that I am certain will grow into something beautiful because you planted it with so much love and care this year.
I hope that you can all join us to relax and celebrate this Sunday after Mass for the Appreciation Reception. A wonderful dinner and program is being prepared for us!
Please read the rest of this bulletin for some final details about our last day together. It's going to be fun :-)
In Christ,
Chi

Morning Prayer Together
Don't forget to join us exactly at 9:45 a.m. each Sunday morning in the Teacher's Lounge for morning prayer together. It will be brief (2-3 minutes) so that you can get to your classrooms before 10. Whether there are 30 of us or just 2 of us -- this brief prayer time will take place every Sunday, so please join in to offer up our day to Jesus!
