Dear Cathedral Parents,

Immunizations for high school students were updated at the end of the last school year. It is very important that your children receive these new shots. They are:

Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis booster Meningococcal vaccine 2 doses of the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine (Tdap is needed) 2 MMR (measles, mumps, rubella)

Although I have not yet announced a date by which these immunizations must be completed, I will be doing so in the future. Please be sure to have these immunizations up-to-date and send a copy of your child’s shots to our Registrar, Susie Thornburg (sthornburg@cathedral-irish.org).

A list of clinics for these immunizations is included in this document on pages 9 and 10.

The Cathedral Connection Meeting held on Monday, September 13th provided many questions for our administration to answer. These responses are on pages 3 – 7 of this parent email.

Homecoming is a very special week for our Cathedral students and will be from Monday, September 27 – Friday, October 1st. Our students do dress up in theme costumes (as do some teachers), and points are earned through the costumes, hall decorating, and Walk-a-thon towards winning “The Spirit Stick!” More information on this week is included in this document.

September Insight: http://www.cathedral-irish.org/page.cfm?p=1162Remember to read the Insight, since it carries some different information than the parent email does.

~~~~~Cathedral Connection/Mothers’ Club Freshmen/Sophomore Meeting was held on Monday, September 13th. The moderators turned all unanswered questions over to us so that our administrators could answer them for you. The questions and answers are printed here:

Academics:

What is the first step in addressing a poor grade? How long should a parent wait before approaching a teacher about an at risk grade?

The first thing a parent should do in this situation is to discuss the grade with the student. If a student isn’t studying or doing homework, then the parent can correct that situation. If the student is working hard and still struggling, the parent should contact the teacher.

As a parent, I wanted my child placed in French 2. Parent received no assistance and student remains in French 1. What is the next? Why is there a cost associated with testing out? Seems like we have to pay for everything. Why can’t a parent make the determination regarding appropriate entry level? Don’t wants kids to get bored with classes. A better explanation of the testing out process for a foreign language is needed. Why is there no oral component? Why is there only a written exam?

At this point in the quarter, the student should be working as hard as he can in French I, so that he/she can achieve at the highest possible level. The proficiency testing fee offsets the cost of proctoring and grading the exam. It also helps to offset the expense associated with writing and revising the exams. While no one knows a student better than his/her parents do, most parents are not curricular experts. The goal of the math and world language departments is to use the

proficiency tests to best place students in the level that will challenge them and will best prepare them for the next level. It is not unusual for some students to experience a feeling of “I know all of this already” at times during the first semester. However, the second-semester material is foreign to them. To initially place students in the next level without their having mastered the second-semester material is placing them in jeopardy of experiencing future struggles. There is nothing as valuable to a junior or senior in advanced classes than having a firm grasp of the prerequisites. There is no oral component to

the test for two reasons. One is logistical . . . there are so many students taking the test at so many different times that it is difficult to find enough time/space/proctors to spend ten minutes or so with each one in direct conversation. The main reason, however, is that our world language teachers have noticed that the greatest deficiencies with which students are coming to us are in the areas of grammar, reading, and writing.

State is now offering PE credit for participating in a sport or band. Will Cathedral move toward this in the future?

At this time, Cathedral’s PE program is curricular. That is, the students are exposed to wellness, physiology, first aid, etc., as well as to getting physical activity. Furthermore, PE aids in helping students build social skills with students with whom they may not ordinarily socialize, and PE exposes the students to “lifelong activities” as well as various activities in which their friends participate. Currently, there are no plans to change Cathedral’s two-semester PE requirement.

NHS offers tutoring: How is this tutoring program set up. Is there a sign up form? Please explain the process. Another parent attendee explained that forms are in the library and students can identify their area of need and tutoring is scheduled. Wondered whether an appointment is scheduled or if the student just shows up and hopes to find a tutor in that subject.

NHS tutoring is available before/after school in the library on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This tutoring is free of charge, and it is available on a walk-in basis. The student would merely approach the table with a sign saying “tutoring” on it and speak to the NHS students. No appointment is necessary. Students who desire help should bring their book, notes, homework papers, quizzes, etc., when they come for help. If a student has visited the library tutors several times and feels that he/she needs more extensive help, he should immediately contact his counselor.

Could a student be allowed to have the same counselor for all four years, unless the counselor leaves CHS? Having the same counselor would promote continuity and familiarity and trust.

Cathedral’s current counseling structure gives students the opportunity to benefit from our counselors’ expertise. College advising is a specialty, and we have these specialists to counsel our juniors and seniors through their college search and application process. Academic advising is also a specialty, so we have counselors who specialize in working with young students in the transition to high school, in four-year planning, etc. The college advisors work closely with the academic advisors, so the “hand off” of students after sophomore year is generally seamless. Any parent who has concerns about this process should contact his child’s counselor or Mr. Mike Jaskoski, the Director of Guidance.

Is it policy for a student to choose the SLC or the library for the entire semester for their resource time? Can students make library vs SLC on day to day basis? Are freshmen still required to attend resource. (This parent’s child did not have resource presently). Further explanation of what is covered during the resource period. Parent wanted to know whether she could require her student attend resource in library if she didn’t want the student to be in SLC at all. Another parent explained that the teacher assigned to the resource period will have the student stay in the library or authorize the student to student go to the SLC.

Resource- Only freshmen are required to be in a regular classroom for resource the first quarter. During this time they receive information about the school through a program called Extended Orientation which is conducted by 8 different staff members. Also during this time period they will receive three days a week for 10-15 minutes some tips on study skills, organizations to be help them prepare for their academics. During the second quarter they will be released two days per week to the SLC and the other days they will have Organizational skills review and some further Extended Orientation. During the second semester all students will go to the SLC or Media Center except those who are not academically eligible (that is a GPA of 2.0 or below) or if they wish to remain in a quiet study resource they may do so by request from their parent or themselves. Part of resource is to set students together with other students in a social setting.

A parent complained of the confusion between this meeting and the sophomore parent meeting that covered PSAT, counseling. Are there minutes from the most recent sophomore parenting ACT/SAT meeting. Are there any handouts available? Where are the above handouts located on the website? Or can they be made available on the website? The above info would be more accessible if published on the website.

The PowerPoint presentation from that evening is posted on our guidance website. It is under the Freshman/Sophomore Advising section. The first topic is the “PSAT for Sophomores” heading. Where it says “click here for more information,” that is the link. If a parent or student has further questions regarding this, he/she should contact Mr. Mike Jaskoski, Director of Guidance.

4

The same parent wondered if the school could describe the contents of the meetings more fully so parents will understand the content. This parent was very upset that no answers could be provided at this meeting and would not have come if he had known the content was so limited.

The very top of the parent email for Wednesday, September 8th included this information (below). We do our best to try to keep our parents informed.

Freshman and Sophomore Parents: Cathedral Connection is a group of parents working together with the Mothers’ Club to keep good communication between CHS parents and the school. When these meetings are scheduled, only parents attend unless there is previous notification, when administrators come for a question and answer session. This is the ideal time to voice a question that you have been hesitant to ask or to speak a concern to see if others share your same concern. The group leaders will then handle any questions they can, which are many since they are all CHS parents. If there are questions or concerns that they cannot answer or which need to be brought to the administration for responses, this is done anonymously. Responses to these questions will be announced in later parent emails.

Social:

Are you going to enforce the “belt” rule for uniform pants as listed as the handbook? The handbook says that belts are required and if it’s no longer enforced, please let students know.

Uniforms- We do not have a belt rule for Cathedral students at this time.

Why is the homecoming dance on a Thursday night this year? What is the appropriate attire for this dance?

Homecoming dance- This year the dance is held on Thursday of Homecoming week so that there are more activities before the actual homecoming game. It is also a part of the opportunity to earn spirit points for a class. The dance will end earlier than the normal Friday night midnight hour and gets students home earlier. The dance is from 7:30- 10:30. There is a theme: Cowboy- Cowgirls so dress up in the theme or wear nice shirt and or dress. One reason for moving the dance was students came from the football game which could be wet or dirty and this allows for a more dressy opportunity.

Are students from other schools allowed to attend CHS dances and/or social events? A parent indicated they could come as long as permission slip is signed by student’s principal and parents.

Students from other schools may attend the dance as long as the permission slip is completed and returned prior to the dance. These are available in the front office. The staff does monitor the type of dancing as best it can and the DJ is instructed not to play music that is reflective of grinding type dancing. We invite any parent who would like to help us monitor the dance area to please call or email Mr. Greer and you will be assigned to an area. This always helps us when there are more eyes.

Is the Christian modesty attire required for all dances and/or events. Is there any way to enforce a dress code when the students are off premises, such as football games? A few parents complained about the attire at the recent football games. When students are wearing tailgate shirts, they should not be torn or shredded and neon sports bras were way too visible. Parents were in favor of warning about attire and then approaching the kids at the games/events if they are dressed inappropriately. Two other parents agreed that they were troubled by the dress of the upperclassmen at these events.

Concerning dress at games. The issue of modesty in attire has been addressed. All should dress in a way that is reflective of Christian values.

5

Does the staff try to monitor “grinding” actions at the dances? This was listed on the notecards that we left for parents to write questions.

Yes, faculty and administrators are at every dance as well as parent chaperones and volunteers. They walk through the crowd, through the dance floor, and when we see inappropriate dancing styles, we take immediate action. In the past, we have asked students to leave who refuse to stop such dancing. Also, parent volunteers for the dances are always welcome.

Athletics:

With all that has occurred, will CHS be requiring their coaches to be in the “back of the bus” when traveling to off premises sports venues? Most parents had kids who played sports and this was the only comment made during this section.

Yes, our monitoring of our students on the team busses is currently in effect. At the beginning of the school year, it has been stated that it is a requirement that all coaches who travel with their teams have a coach at the front, in the middle, and in the back of the vans or busses.

Spiritual:

Please get the students more involved in the school Masses. They aren’t participating even though Father Munshower tries to involve them.

Just as in your parishes, the priest can ask for participation, but cannot demand it. All students are invited to be a part of the ministries of the liturgy. We are always trying to come up with ideas to engage the students to participate. I welcome any suggestions!

Any advice or tips for daily time management in order to fulfill the service hour requirements. Parents thought the school should encourage students to get hours in the summer especially as incoming freshmen. One parent complained of inability to locate the forms and projects in the email and another parent contacted the coordinator of the project over summer and her student was able to get hours before coming to CHS.

Service Hours: Each student is required 25 hours per year which is reflected as a “S” on the final report card of the year if completed. If they fail to complete the 25 hours there is an “Unsatisfactory” on the card. So yes, 25 is required but if for some reason they are short students are not “held back” but can complete in the future as long as 100 hours are completed before graduation. Of course this is not ideal and causes problems, so a gradual approach to service by using summer opportunities in the neighborhood. Joining the class project is an excellent opportunity. One objective of service hours is to diversify experiences so doing several types of service is optimal. Using the parent email as a way to see what options are available is a good way to see where a student can obtain service hours. Normally there are several pages devoted to this as well as some specific items. Students also receive information through their email on specific events that come about through the year. The idea to provide a freshmen service opportunity over the summer will be considered.

Please confirm service hour requirements. One parent insisted that there was 25 per year strict requirement and another parent insisted that there was 100 hour requirement before graduation. Guideline vs. rule? We told parents we would ask for clarification.

This response is included in the previous answer.

6

Parents suggested that there be a big project over the summer that freshman can work with before coming to CHS where they can 5 hours, get to know the other incoming freshman and get to know the school. This would be another way for kids who are not in band, sports or summer school to get to know other incoming freshman.

The idea to provide a freshman service opportunity will be considered.

General:

A mom suggested that since the newsletter is so large, special attention could be drawn to the important freshmen items by color coding those items or noting in a different color those items or tips that will be helpful to freshmen.

I do use color-coding to indicate new (red) versus previously printed (black) information. Since so many high school activities span across school class lines, it is not possible to have just “freshman” or just “sophomore” information in special colors. Also, it would appear to me that a freshman parent would want to read it each week so that you are aware of what will be available (eventually) for your child. If you do read it weekly, then you only need to read the red type each week.

Another parent complained that she didn’t understand what this meeting was about from the content listed here. Another parent chimed in that the dates of the meetings have been listed wrong or inconsistently.

We are working diligently to be clear in when meetings are listed. We will continue to work to make these accurate in all mailings.

I would like to thank the Cathedral Connection moderators and all the freshmen and sophomore parents who attended this meeting, left questions, and helped provide responses for others.

~~~~~Homecoming Week: Sept. 26- October 1Each year the students participate in Homecoming, one of the most exciting weeks of the year. Each class earns points toward the “spirit stick” by participating in different events. The “stick” represents years of tradition and is given or “won” in memory of several students who lost their lives in the mid 1980’s. Thank you to the Student Council for organizing this week.

The week begins with Powder Puff football on Sunday, September 26th, at the activity field at 5:00PM. Games will be played that evening at 6:30. Teams are being formed and if you wish to participate then email grace gibbons at ggibbons@cathedral-irish.org. the championship games will be played on Wednesday night of that week at 6:15PM. All are welcome to come and watch.

Each day has a special them and the students earn points by dressing up.

9

The theme for Monday is “As Seen on TV”- Dress up as a character from your favorite cartoon or TV show. Jeans are permitted this day.

Tuesday- “Out of this world” – Take a trip to outer space- Dress as an astronaut or extraterrestrial.o Tuesday- Magazine Collection Day. Money collected by this day will be used to

determine who wins a spirit point as Magazine Champions. Get your orders in by this day to help your class win the spirit point for Magazine Sales.

o Tuesday is Hall decorating- Students bring items and decorate their assigned hall to the themes for each day. Halls are judges that evening for a spirit point. This year new hallways are being decorated so that they can remain up longer.

Wednesday- “Wonderful World of Disney”- Dress up like Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, or any of your favorite Disney characters. Shorts and jeans ok. No short shorts

Thursday- “Littler Bit County”- Dress in your best cowboy or cowgirl gear. Hats, boots, jeans. No short shorts. Normal shorts are okay.

o Thursday- Homecoming Dance- 7:30-10:30PM . The theme is Homecoming Barnyard Hoedown. The cost is $5.00 for everyone at the door; seniors have some perks (free stuff). A spirit point is given for each person who attends the dance. To earn a spirit [point for your class you must be at the dance from 8:30 to 10:00PM. Since there are some other school activities that evening attendance at any of those events count toward a spirit point. The dance will be held in the cafeteria. If a student wishes to

bring one guest they may do so but a form obtained from the front office must be signed by the visitor’s school and host parent. The Dance has been moved to Thursday so that it is actually part of the week. Poor weather during or after football games, and the lateness of the games were factors in moving the dance. There are no classes on Friday. Students now can dress up more for the dance than they could go to the football game. Attire for the evening- Dress to impress wear

your best cowboy and cowgirl attire

Friday- White, Gold, Green, Blue Dayo Friday- School begins at 8:30 a.m. No classes. We do the annual Walk-a-thon for

charities. We start with a prayer assembly, and the walk down Fall Creek. o School will be dismissed about 1:00 p.m. on Friday, after the assembly.

During Homecoming: Students earn a point for their class toward the spirit stick by donating $5.00 to charity as part of the walk.

Students are to turn in their money before Friday. We are hopeful for a great week with friendly competition and then everyone gather at Arlington to watch

the football team defeat Cincinnati Moeller. Game is free with student ID.

As we continue with our possible affiliation with the Brothers of Holy Cross, we wish to announce that Blessed Brother Andre is to be Canonized in Rome by Pope Benedit XVI on October 17th. There is also a large banner that is

hanging in front of the Media Center, facing the Courtyard, for all to enjoy!

Andre’, born Alfred Bessette, has already been recognized by the Catholic Church for his healing powers. In 1978 he was declare venerable. He was beatified in 1982. The man most people associate with the massive St. Joseph’s Oratory on the flank of Mount Royal in Montreal was born on August 9, 1845, in St. Gregoire d’Iberville, southeast of the city.

Andre’ was a frail child, orphaned at the age of 10. He worked on farms and in mills in New England before returning to Quebec in 1867. In 1870 he took a job as custodian at College Notre Dame, run by the Congregation of Holy Cross in Montreal.

He entered the Congregation of Holy Cross as a lay brother in 1870, and in his capacity as the porter of the school for 40 years, counseled many parents of pupils. With those who had fallen ill,

he prayer to St. Joseph.So many sick people began to visit his humble room in College Notre Dame, there was a fear of spreading disease

through the school. Andre’ gained a reputation as a healer, and a man who could perform miracles.When the congregation purchased land across the street, Andre’ was instrumental in getting a small chapel built in

1904. There, he met with the sick, who left their crutches and canes behind when healed.A church seating 1,000 was built in 1917 and in 1924 construction began on the current oratory, stopping only

during the Depression.When Andre’ died at age 91 in 1937, an estimated one million people came to pay their respects.

~~~~~Whatever happened to Kofi Hughes (’10)?Kofi Hughes (’10) - IU wide receiver Hughes gets thumbs up - HERALD-TIMES, BLOOMINGTON, IND. | DUSTIN DOPIRAK | Wed, Sep 15, 3:34 AMKofi Hughes' teammates can't make any sense of it.

The Cathedral graduate's rise up the wide receiver depth chart has been impressive enough on the surface, considering that he's a true freshman trying to make it at the strongest position on the Indiana football team despite playing quarterback in high school. But you wouldn't call that shocking. There are precocious freshmen everywhere and few players can adjust to a position change quicker than an athletic, dual-threat quarterback like Hughes . What's shocking is that he's doing it with one hand.

OK, maybe one hand is stretching the truth. But he is doing it with just one fully operational thumb. Hughes tore ligaments in his right thumb during the first week of practice. It needed surgery, but about a week after that he was back out on the field wearing a cast from his forearm down with the thumb immobilized. Somehow, he's still managed to catch passes with it, which is part of the reason why he's one of just two true freshmen practicing with IU's first and second teams.

"A lot of people were laughing when I came out with the big club on," Hughes said. "Like, 'What the heck are you gonna do out there?' But I didn't care if I was going to drop (passes) or not. The main thing was like, I don't want to sit out just because something's wrong with my hand. There's so many other things you can do besides just catching the ball at receiver. I think with that mindset, that's what allowed me to get through camp and get where I am right now and not be down in the dumps just because my hand's messed up."

12

That's a pretty mature approach to injury for an 18-year-old who has been in Division I for just over a month, and that, Lynch said, is one of the most impressive things about Hughes. The articulate Hughes's dissertations on college football, what he has already learned and what he needs to learn about the position of wide receiver, sound academic. That's why, Lynch said, some of his teammates have taken to calling him, "Professor Hughes."

"He's such an impressive kid, just in general," Lynch said. "He's a very focused, very serious kid. Not that he doesn't have a great sense of humor, but he's just locked in. And a lot of times with freshman, no matter how talented they are, if they don't have that focus, they don't have a chance. . Then talent wise, there's no question that within the first few days, you saw, 'Oh gosh, this kid's just a little different.'"There's that maturity again. Almost as impressive as catching footballs one-handed!

Service Outreach News:

15

Our beginning of school year offers inspirational service opportunities for our Cathedral students.

Class Service Projects As an insight regarding the good works that we can accomplish this year, ponder this scripture: “A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good; for from the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45. And as we perform simple acts of giving, and sharing fellowship with others, we ask God to sow his word once more in our hearts today until patiently the soil of our souls brings forth a rich harvest. In October, you may join our outreach on Saturday, October 9, 10:15-1:30, when juniors will be serving up a fabulous lunch for the Saturday noon meal at the Cathedral Soup Kitchen. Or, the sophomores will be serving spaghetti dinner for the special community of English second language families at the Lord’s Pantry on Wednesday, October 13, 3:30-7:15 (the 2 nd Wed of each month.) Details on all of these on-going class service projects are noted below in Service Opportunities as wonderful expressions of giving and grace.

Mentoring Magic Over eighty Cathedral students have joined Mentoring Magic, completed their training and commence their one-on- one mentoring relationships this week and next at IPS #58 on Mondays, IPS#106 on Tuesdays, Belzer Middle School on Wednesdays, and East 10th United Methodist Church on Thursdays. Should you be interested in joining, but missed the initial start-up due to sports, you are still welcome to join. Come to Mrs. Halstead’s office for a packet. We are excited to see the impact and positive contribution we can make in the lives of these younger students. Our programs will emphasize reading this year as a special focus, in addition to a wide variety of activities to encourage academic responsibility, develop good self-control and reinforce positive self-esteem.

Joint Service Outreach With Other High School Students and Herron High School Would you like to help plan a joint service outreach with other high students for IPS middle school students in our community? We are proposing a special day of events combining reading, athletics and other passions such as art, music and dance. The theme is “MAKE IT MINE”. We have already submitted one grant application and are doing more planning regarding our Saturday, Dec 4 2010 and Saturday, Feb 26, 2011 events. Our next meeting is Sunday, Sep 26 at 12:30 PM in room 3304 (Mr. Payne’s room). Please email Jasmine Whitaker, Imani Parker-Robinson, Haley Roach or Mrs. Halstead (chalstead@cathedral-irish.org) with your interest. Many juniors and sophomores are involved in this project. Our outreach dates are Saturday, Dec 4 (IPS #106) and Feb 26, 2010 (University of Indianapolis, 9:30-2:30 PM. It is our goal to present this day to 200 IPS middle school students in February. The December event is a small test of the program for about 50 students. We were just awarded one grant of $1500 for this program from the America’s Promise foundation. We have planning to complete for these events targeted for IPS middle school students to help them commit to their academics, high school graduation and greater successes in life.

Fall Mission Trip to New Orleans: We will be returning to help rebuild and assist in the post Katrina restoration efforts in the New Orleans. This trip will also provide an opportunity to be informed firsthand about the recovery from the oil spill and its toll upon the economy and ecology of the Gulf area. Departure dates will be Wed, October 27 after school and we will return on Monday, Nov 1. See Mrs. Halstead for the mission trip sign up signup form or download it here. This will be our third fall trip to the Gulf region to assist with post Katrina rebuilding and it will be an invigorating help mission squeezed into the fall weekend. Family members are invited to join us as well. Our next and last meeting will be Tuesday, Oct 12, 6:45 PM, SLC Commons. Please complete all forms and signups by October 1. They may be picked up outside Mrs. Halstead’s office.

Leadership Students are invited to apply for the Youth Leadership Initiative with United Way to work on boards or committees of nonprofit agencies. Application must be made by freshmen, sophomores or juniors by Monday, Nov 1. Applications may be downloaded from www.uwci.org/yli. Except for your November application and interview, this will take place during the second semester of the school year. You will join students from other high school in this endeavor. Questions, contact Paul Shepley at 920 2562.

Service Hours on Power School Service hours may be viewed on Power School/ and are current for all hours received since the start of school. There is a small button in the upper right hand corner to view the service hours. For the 2010-11 academic year, service hours for seniors are due December 1, 2010 to meet their total

16

graduation requirement. The status of service hours for seniors will be shown as satisfactory or unsatisfactory on their second quarter report card. For the academic year of 2010-11, freshmen, sophomore and junior hours are due March 1, 2011. The status of service hours for these underclassmen will be shown as satisfactory or unsatisfactory on the third quarter report card. If the hours for last year were completed, hours earned after April 23, 2010 may be credited to the current year’s requirement. We are accepting service on a project basis as well. Hours will not be accepted more than sixty days after the date of service performance after Sep 1. Service hours are very current as you receive this.

Meditation: Luke 9:1-6

“Take nothing for the journey.” (Luke 9:3)

Jesus was not naïve about the hardships of traveling. Having walked many miles proclaiming God’s kingdom, he understood perfectly well what was needed for long journeys. Yet as he sent the apostles out, Jesus told them not to bother about the very things that made traveling possible. They were to take “nothing” for their journey: “neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money” (Luke 9:3). There is an inconsistency here that just doesn’t make sense! Why would Jesus tell them to take nothing with them when he knew how demanding the journey would be?

When you think about it, though, what sense does it make at all for Almighty God to work his miraculous, healing power through mere human beings? Why would he depend on us to preach his kingdom and do his supernatural work? Because in the end, it’s not really us doing the work at all—just as it wasn’t their reliance on walking sticks, food, or money that sustained the disciples in their missionary work. Jesus wants us to learn how to depend not only on our earthly skills and possessions but also—and even more so—on his power and grace.

Incredible as it seems, God wants to make you an instrument through which his power is manifested to the world. Your part is to respond with the kind of faith that allows him to work. Jesus promised: “Whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these” (John 14:12). As Jesus told the apostles before sending them out, it is trust in God that makes this possible. When we look to our heavenly Father, he supplies everything we need.

25

So have confidence in God! When someone tells you about an illness, pray in faith that they will be healed. If family relationships are strained, pray and expect miracles in Jesus’ name! God wants his wonders to be a normal part of life. If you do, too, then start praying with anticipation and watch for God to work. The journey of life can be very hard at times, but Jesus wants us to know that he is with us to help us along the way.

“Holy Spirit, empower all your people to be witnesses to the kingdom. Help us to take you at your word and to receive all the grace you offer. Make us ambassadors of your love.”
