• Connect Service Project at The Franciscan Life Process Center
• 1:00pm-4:00pm
• 11650 Downes St. NE  Lowell, MI 49331

Looking to lend a hand on a Saturday afternoon? We will be helping out at the Franciscan Life Process Center. The service project will be modeled after one of their work days and they usually have a variety of chores that need to be done around the farm and can vary from very labor intensive to very low key. Sara Heckman, our service officer, is working to get some details on what the actual jobs will be. So more to come. Here’s their website if you’d like to check it out: http://www.lifeprocesscenter.org/.

• Theology on Tap with Fr. Dave Gross!
• 7:00 pm
• Derby Station – 2237 Wealthy St. SE Grand Rapids, MI 49506 (back room behind the bar)

We’ll be having our first TOT of 2014!  Fr. Dave Gross, priest at St. Mary’s in Marne, will be speaking to the young adults of the Diocese of Grand Rapids regarding “Catholic marriage requirements and are annulments just Catholic divorces.” He will start speaking promptly at 7:30, but we recommend coming a little early to get a seat, order food and socialize, then we’re all seated and ready by 7:30.  Please feel free to invite any friends/family/young adults you think might be interested in the topic or learning more about our group.  For those of you who have not been to a TOT before, it is an opportunity to get together and listen to a speaker at a local restaurant/bar, outside of the normal Connect room atmosphere so it’s a little more laid back and fun.

Please check out the Facebook event and RSVP so we have an idea of how many to expect.

• Ash Wednesday Mass/Vision Meeting
• 7:00 pm
• Holy Spirit Church

Instead of our usual Vision Meeting and Adoration/Confession the first Wednesday of the month, this week we will be attending Ash Wednesday Mass together as a group.  We will meet in the church narthex at 6:45 pm so we can all find each other and sit together.  After Mass, we’ll find an open meeting room and have our monthly Vision Meeting to discuss upcoming ideas and events for the group.  And because it is a day of fasting, we will not be going out to Applebees afterwards.
