While our YMO youth prepare for their second semester finals, they continue their spiritual preparation with equal energy for their first mission in just 16 days!
At last week’s services, Fr. Chris discussed the importance of “wrapping our team with prayer” for their important mission journey. We are aiming for 24-hour prayer coverage each day. The prayer team list will be in the parish hall again this Sunday, and we are asking you to fill in a time slot during which you will say a prayer for the mission team. You may also contact Sara Clarkson (630) 789-0727 or saraclarkson@yahoo.com to be added to the prayer team. Please know that we welcome anyone to pray, more than one person may sign-up at the same time!
On Sunday, June 2nd, we will commission our team for their journey at the 10:00 a.m. service. We are honored to have as our Navajo guest that morning D’Wayne Begay. D’Wayne is also a nationally ranked tennis player who uses his skills as a teacher to provide opportunities for American Indian students not only to have fun learning tennis, but also to improve their academic, social, and physical achievements.
D'Wayne will speak at 9:00 a.m. in the Guild Room, explaining Navajo traditions and cultural sensitivity. He will also share some reflections at the 10:00 a.m. service and introduce us to some traditional Navajo food after the service. In addition, some of the music this morning will be provided by Native American flutes.
We hope you will join us for this informative and exciting morning!
-The YMO Team
