Thank you for stopping by!

We loved getting to see everyone at the Ministry Fair. We had many new families who are interested in joining our group. We will be emailing all of you with our next event and  look forward to getting to know you better. 

Jen and I were next door to the parish's wonderful spiritual director, Tanda Ainsworth. She had this beautifully decorated table with a peaceful scented candle burning and faux fall leaves placed throughout that made the eyes flow over the prayer labyrinth and brochures. Then there was our table, overstimulating to say the least. Pictures, crayons, and random grapes and half-eaten cheese cubes that our kids had ditched there so they could get balloons. We joked that her "peaceful table" had the "party table" next door since our kids were running around in front of ours and crawling under it while visitors' babies were tearing our signs down. 

So there is just a little example of what goes on in our ministry - sometimes chaotic but always fun! So never hesitate to come to an event if you have busy or noisy kids. We are all in the same boat. Welcome to Family Ministry!
