Diary of Marie Therese Anthony
Writing down an overview/plan...of things that I have to do/have done so that I won't miss out anything:
June 3rd to June 5th
Pre Confirmation Camp

- Pray, pray, pray
June 18th

- Coordinate with parents, food, money spent, bus,

- Get posters made for the camp!

- Call Nat and ask her if she got people to help
- Call youth members and invite for festival!!!!
- Update Reverend Damian of all that is happening
Ongoing Friday Prayer Meets
- Read up each Sunday's gospel and from there, pick up a key word that can be used for the topic/session for that week (that way session is based on Sunday's Gospel, and is more fun and interactive rather than just sharing based on the passage)
- Get people to conduct the sessions and make sure they commit
- Get people who are leading to be well prepared and remind them they are leading for that week
- Run through the plan with Reverend so that all is well
August 7th
Reverend Damian's Orination

- Schedule meeting days for us to practise
- Co-ordinate the group for that day
Other ad-hoc/continuous/upcoming stuff
- Get Ralph to burn last year's and this year's Good Friday's play so that can show the rest of the group/church
- Do not just wait for Ralph to do, ask Natasha/Auntie Loo for help to burn the VCD
- Speak to Reverend about screening it to the church/getting a room to screen it and future VCDs to the youth

In other words, I am living the full life I'd always wanted, more especially with serving God
In other words, erm, its not as easy as you think, wanna be in my shoes?
In other words, need your prayers, support, encouragement, assistance, co-operation, love.
P.S. Lots of laughter too. :o)
Good night and God bless.
