Generations of Faith: The 2016-2017 theme of Mass to Mission concludes with our final session focusing on...
"The High Holy Days of the Easter Triduum."
The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum-from the evening of Holy Thursday to the evening of Easter Sunday. These are the holy days, which make up Holy Week. Although chronologically three days, they are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ's Paschal Mystery. The single celebration of the Triduum marks the end of the Lenten season, and leads to the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil. Join the learning community of SKD as we walk through the rituals of and explain the meaning behind the oils, washing, veneration, candles and readings of the Triduum.
CHANGE IN SCHEDULE: There is only the Wednesday March 22 session of GOF; there will not be a Sunday session. The 5:15 pm meal is sub-sandwiches. Families may sign up online or in back of church. Your signing up early helps with the preparations for the night, especially preparing for the meal.

During Lent we are called to spend more time in prayer. One of the options for prayer is to participate in the Stations of the Cross. We pray the Stations every Friday night during Lent at 7:00 PM. Each week we use a different prayer version of the Stations.
Living Station of the Cross
Friday, April 7, 2017 at 7pm in the SKD worship space.
A silhouette presentation by high school and middle school youth is most attended Friday night Lenten Station of the Cross-at SKD. Parents and Grandparents remember station devotions of their youth. While younger brothers and sisters are introduced to this powerful devotion of Jesus passion.
Students May register for parts and the March 31 practice outside Mike office.

March Food Drive
March is Minnesota FoodShare Month. That means that the food shelves that participate in it can get bonus donations based on the donations they receive during March. Our monthly food drive for March is the weekend of March 18 and 19. The drive will be for ACBC, the food shelf in Anoka. Non-perishable food items and cash donations are needed. Cash donations are very beneficial since ACBC can purchase the food items through the food shelf provider for a fraction of what we can purchase the same items in grocery stores. Donation checks should be made payable to ACBC.
March Food Packing
Our next food packing for Feed My Starving Children is Saturday, March 18. We have our usual 10 volunteer spots for the 9:00-11:00 shift. You can sign up by going to the Feed My Starving Children website, http://volunteer.fmsc.org/register/ select "Join a Group" and then either enter SKD for the Group Name or the Join Code 915694 . You can also contact Deacon Randy to sign up, randy@sjtw.net, 763-400-7203 (work) or 763-205-1528 (home).

Using Scrip is Easy . . . and it Helps SKD
All of us do some shopping. Why not do it with Scrip cards? Many of the places we shop have scrip cards available. There are even hotels, airlines, cruises and car rental cards available for your travels. You can order your cards at the Scrip Table after our 4:30 mass and between our 9:00 and 11:00 masses. Cards are ordered each week and are available for pick up the following weekend. Shopping with scrip does not cost you anything extra. You simply pay the face value for the scrip card. SKD purchases he cards at a discount and that is how the parish can generate a little extra revenue to support our ministries. We do stock cards for some local merchants - Coborn's, County Market, Cub, Bill's and Green Valley Nursery. You can also set up an online account and get electronic scrip cards instantly or reload scrip cards you purchased earlier. If you have any questions or want to know more about how you can use scrip and benefit the parish, stop by the Scrip Table in the hospitality room.
