Dear friend,

You’re amazing! 

Many of you have indicated that you are first-time group leaders, and others of you have been walking alongside teens and their families for decades.  Wherever you fall on the spectrum: thank you!  What a joyful responsibility it is to lead this next generation to a closer relationship with Christ and His Church. 

Please know that you are in my prayers each day, and that I am overwhelmingly grateful for your prayers, support, and patience as we work to make this summer’s weekend together an experience of true communion with Christ and our community.
