The Wellness Event on Saturday, 9/22 was a huge success in many ways! 70 people attended and we heard nothing but positive remarks from those we spoke with afterward. My husband and I attended the Tai Chi and Mindfulness Meditation sessions and we thoroughly enjoyed both. (It was great to see a few men joining in!) The morning started with our speaker, Julie Neraas whose topic was Finding Joy Through Living Well and from watching attendees, JOY was what they were feeling! Two of our Boomer & Beyond members, Terry Lubbers and Cindy Lybeck assisted in organizing and detailing this event from the beginning to end along with others from the Care and Support Ministry. Thank you to all of you for a wonderful experience!
This week when we received our Eden Prairie Current Newspaper I was thrilled to see that Pax Christi made the front page!! It spoke of the Bible Camp held at Pax this summer in July and told how the events were a huge success. The camp featured a wealth of typical youth activities but a significant part of the focus was around last year’s parish mission: “Disciples on a Mission”. One of the projects was to collect housekeeping items and fill baskets to bring to Youth Link’s newly constructed apartment complex in Minneapolis to help young people going out on their own for the first time. Our Boomer and Beyond members (along with other ministries at Pax) participated by purchasing some needed items. Camp staff and volunteers helped the children fill each basket with all the donated items! Together we worked as Disciples to bring JOY to others. Thanks to all who participated in any way and to teach our children what a wonderful gift it is to give to others.
