After hearing; “When can we do this again?” The Sisters at St. Francis of Assisi, Greenwood decided to invite the young Catholic women for another “Meet the Sisters”. Conversation between events and while eating always allows time for questions and and new discoveries about our life.
-
- School is out and our guests begin to arrive.
-
- How about some popcorn and a cold drink?
-
- Settling in for the rest of the afternoon.
-
- Franciscan joy comes in all sizes.
Time for a few games and a little mixing up! We are off on a scavenger hunt. Each group needed to find items beginning with the letters of the word; “Sisters”. With the heavy rain the groups could draw an item rather than bring it back in with them. All navigated puddles and mud to come up with interesting items for each letter.
-
- Drawing a sidewalk for the letter “s”!
-
- Demonstration of an eye for “e”.
-
- What do you mean? Sure we saw the river in the stain glass window in church!
Our fry-out was questionable because of the rain, but in the end it cleared enough for Sister Mary Ann to do the hotdogs on the grill while the young ladies enjoyed our indoor picnic around tablecloths on the floor.
-
- One really hot fire!
-
- This was a good menu choice for all.
-
- No fire ants or lady bugs at this picnic.
-
- Simple things in new surroundings make for fun and memories.
Time for s’mores !
-
- Sister Kathleen this Hershey bar is a disaster! Oh, Open here and peel!
-
- Oh, This marshmallow is so good.
-
- Lots of coals and lots of marshmallows. These look just right.
Once everyone had enough to eat Sister Elena started us out with a game of dice.
-
- Sister Elena explained the game to us.
Sister Kathleen prepared a prayer service for us. So before the parents arrive we all gather in our chapel .
-
- All had gathered in a comfortable spot.
-
- Sister Kathleen explained how we were going to pray.
-
- Lord, I love you. I lift my hands before you…
