So what exactly is Generations United?
It is a multigenerational ministry with the purpose of organizing various social events throughout the year for parishioners of all ages. It came about as a result of a Listening Session last fall and subsequent Steering Committee meetings.
Generations United hosts the game nights at the end of each month as well as the monthly crochet group. It prepares the monthly calendar at the church entrances to keep parishioners apprised of what’s happening. It sponsored the seed-planting and sip-and-paint evenings this spring. It organized a Christmas celebration that included crafts for kids and a cookie exchange. In July, it is planning a parking lot barbecue after Mass and an evening revolving around a firepit in August. And there’s plenty more in store for next fall and winter.

“The Chosen,” a summertime choice
While most people have heard of “The Chosen,”
not everyone has seen this historical drama based on the life of Jesus as seen through the eyes of those who knew him.
Generations United would like to correct that.
The group is proposing to show the first of seven seasons of this intimate portrayal of Jesus and his revolutionary teachings during the summer. Because the mission of this ministry is to plan events for all ages, it also has “The Chosen Adventures” DVD for children available if there is interest.
Express your interest by signing up on the Generations United bulletin board and providing the requested information so that a good day and time can be selected. Questions? Email: generationsunited2800@gmail.com
Do you no longer drive at night?
To specifically address the concerns of some of our seniors regarding nighttime driving, Generations United will attempt to link a senior in need of a ride (no children, please!) with someone who lives nearby and is coming to that same event (and carries the necessary liability insurance).
Would you like a ride to the crochet group next Wednesday, June 2, or game night on June 26? Note it on the separate signup sheet on the bulletin board – and be sure to include your contact info and town of residence. WHILE THERE ARE NO PROMISES, every attempt will be made to help those who can no longer drive at night continue to participate.
