Sacred Heart Faith Formation Board (FFB) Notes
Tuesday, March 5, 2019
Present: Tammy Barry, Linda Heidenreich, Jane Hommel, Mary Johnson, Laura Lavine, Sue McNamara, Diane Miller, Jon Parrish, Theresa Paul.
Youth Group (YG) Report: Hally – It was a busy month:
CYC in Spokane with 8 teens plus adults Daniel & Linea Johnson was a blast and Hally has received all positive feedback. It was put on very well.
7 & 8th grade attendance has been very sparse lately. None came on March 3! Factors? Weather; some kids’ families’ don’t have cars…could we set up ‘parent rideshares’? Tammy is happy to pick up one or two. Johnston & Dreewes families might be an option. If in different grades, it is a problem to have the teens wait around. Two kids in car with one adult is fine as long as one of them is your own. Hally will call parents to work out a car pool pickup.
Bowling 6th (so they can have a ‘taste’ of next year)-12th grades, at Zeppoz, 1 pm on Mar. 24. $10/kid. Parents will transport.
Mission Trip Fundraisers: With the KCs help with the Pancake Breakfast, YG raised $900 & KCs matched to $500 = $1400!!! Hally submitted a grant to the Catholic Foundation to pay for the adults & to sponsor one teen. ‘Little’ fundraisers will include ‘Little Bags of Hope’ and the teens really have fun putting them together. Hally will ask Caritas, CDA & Social Justice Ministry to sponsor the cost of the materials (~ $200-$250 last year). KCs will do another breakfast if needed.
No YG on March 31 because of Spring Break, it will meet April 7.
Future: Coffee & Donuts, Prayer, Bread & Soup and the Easter Story. Theresa will visit YG to ask them to participate in the Easter Story.
Fatih Formation Report: Theresa
Catechist Meeting: Shared resources for Lent. Next year teachers want to do more Bible Buddies, centers, and mixing/merging-of-the-grades activities. This year many of the WSU student volunteers are struggling to be able to attend. In a couple of classes parents help out because there is only one teacher.
Vacation Bible School had its first meeting earlier today. It is at Trinity Lutheran this year, and it is a transition year because of some of the experienced people have to step back. It’s a good opportunity for some of newer committee people to learn from the long-timers.
RCIA: There are six (now seven) who will be baptized and three who will make a Profession of Faith and be confirmed. This year some will go to the Spokane Cathedral for the Rite of Election with Bishop Daly. Mary will do a Rite of Sending for those who missed it.
Tammy will facilitate a Lenten Bible Study this Sunday, March 10 for three sessions in the back room of the parish office, from 9:45-10:45. The Men’s Prayer group will also do it with Jim Evermann. It is more about discussing and sharing than a typical Bible Study.
Fr. Steve will present another Disciples in Dialogue after Easter on Creation/Genesis. Dates will be published soon.
On March 21, at 6 pm, there is a free dinner & discussion in the social hall, Caring for God’s Creation, explaining how Catholic and indigenous people (Nimiipuu) can work together to support the environment.
Past Business: Teacher Appreciation Brunch: Sue will be gone & Theresa would like help with ideas, planning, serving & cleaning up on Sunday April 28 during the 11 am Mass. It’s a breakfast buffet party for 12-15 people. Theme? Menu? Fruits & sweets? Suggestions: crepes, muffin tin eggs, pigs in a blanket, mini-quiches…
Anything Else : Tammy said the ‘Marketing Committee’ is trying to make connections with all of the groups. Meg Gollnick is doing an excellent job on the social media. They are working on a 30 second video, and trying to make all publicity a little bit better and take it to the next level.
Next meeting is Tues., April 2 at 7 pm, St. Charles room. Opening prayer: Sue; Closing prayer: Penny ; Provide refreshments: Tammy. [Neither Linda nor Laura will be able to attend next month]
