Tomorrow night at Holy Spirit we will be playing a rousing good game of kickball. We will begin at 7:30 PM

Finally, our June Corporate Communion will be this Upcoming Sunday at
the 10:30 AM Mass at St. Mary’s in Muskegon. Following Mass we will
be sailing on the Boersma family boat. For more information on this

Second, Connect will be participating in Let’s Go to Bat for Kids this

up to volunteer, you can still purchase tickets for the game. Check
out the event listing at GR Now

Christ on Wednesday at 7:30 PM at Holy Spirit. Hope to see you there!
