Well welcome back to all of those who spent their March Break doing something fun and in the sun and to those who were like me and just hung out with friends and family!  It was so good to see you all again last night.  And what a night it was!

 Our night started off with an awesome Mass with Father Owen.  We then moved into the Hall to play a fun game in which at the moment I can’t recall the name BUT it involved us taking 20 seconds to find the people in the room that we had something in common.  So for example, if Chris said ‘Find the people who ate the same thing for breakfast as you did’ you had to find people who, well duh ate the same thing you did.  I must say, there was a huge group of teens AND Core members who didn’t eat breakfast yesterday.  Now I don’t know if this is because they slept in and by the time they woke up it was lunch time or what???  Anyway, we managed to get enough points playing that game that we will have a special treat on Palm Sunday.

We then got into what the night was all about with a talk from Justin.  He gave us an amazing talk about our faith life and our relationship with God.  Check out Justin’s Talk on Signal Strength.  We then filled out a sheet that examined out prayer life over in the Church and spend some good quality time with Jesus in Adoration.

Here’s a few reminders for you…
