EDGE Logo Greetings!

Welcome to our first edition of the EDGE E-News.  This electronic newsletter is being sent to let you know what we covered last week, what we will be covering this week, and any special instructions needed.
Last week, we were unable to view our Rules Video, please check it out 
BibleBiblemania!!
This coming weekend we will start our study of the Bible.  Can you tell me how many books are in there?  Can you name them?  Do you know the difference between a Catholic Bible and others versions?  You will!  Bring your Bible, if you have one.   

 BibleWho's Your SuperHero?

Last week, we talked about the characteristics of a Super Hero.   We even designed our own superheroes (check them out at the EDGE Website). There are many superheroes in the Bible, David slayed a giant, Samson was super strong, and Daniel fought lions.   

Do you know that Jesus is our SuperHero?  Check out our theme song for this year
 
MonstranceCome Let Us Adore Him!
No, I am not breaking into Christmas songs already - but this is to alert you that our YOUTH Adoration Hours begin NEXT Thursday, October 15th.  Do you have one hour a week to spend with Jesus and pray for our youth?  EDGE Hour is from 2:00-3:00 PM and LIFE is from 8:00-9:00 PM EVERY Thursday.  You can come to either or both, but COME and help us - pray for our youth! 
 
Bible Parent Helpers - You are Needed!
Thank you to all of the parents who have volunteered to help with various tasks with EDGE this year.  So far, I have been able to schedule kitchen and environment crews, both needed to get our program up and running.  You should have received notification already about these schedules.  If not, please check the Crew lists.  Please, if you CANNOT make your assigned time, get a substitute.  We rely on these crews to help make our EDGE nights run smoothly, your absence is seriously missed.

I hope to use this weekly newsletter to stay in better contact with our EDGE parents and students.  I think it is important to include pertinent information, but also some fun links, educational tools, and other tidbits of information.  If you have anything you would like to share, please forward it to Mrs. Carter
