All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one's need. Acts 2: 44-45
After reading the first two chapters from the Book of Acts, we extended the last few verses by first celebrating the "Eucharist" together and then we focused on community life. A while back the middle school youth group, Ignite, did a service project of bringing in items for our parish Social Ministries and for Catholic Charities. The latter has a project called Carry Hope: they give out purple reusable bags with a list of items they are to be filled with, and when they are returned, they give them to individuals and families in need of basic necessities (hygiene products and food). We didn't complete all the bags, so the WND group each brought in 5 items that were needed to finish the bags. We worked on that and also putting together simple hygiene kits for the first part of the night - after we had praise and worship with Br. Ron!
During the second part we watched the Josh Hamilton I Am Second video (it came up in discussion while filling the bags). We talked about I Am Second and a few other things, such as the artwork in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome (it was kind of a random night!). We closed out the night by reading the gospel for the upcoming Sunday and briefly reflecting on it.
