Young Adult Brainstorming
Session
St. Ladislas (Westlake) cares
about our missing generation and really wants to DO
SOMETHING to bring Young Adults back to an active and
awesomely vibrant participation in their faith and their
church. We have ideas - we have motivation - we have
some financial backing - but we don't have your
brilliance.
Please come to a
brainstorming session, a gathering of friends, and help
us to get some direction.
You have the kind of faith
that most other young adults are longing for. How can
we help support and nurture that? and How can we help
to make this possible for others?
Please come to a
(non-committal) meeting on Wednesday, February 8 at
7pm at St. Lad's.
And please share this
invitation with any and all of your friends who may also
be interested in getting something new started. |
