Letters from God

Good Monday morning everyone,

OYYAM is attempting to gleen interest for the idea of a movie night for youth groups and young adults and entire parish communities. Below is a letter from folks involved in the release and promotion of "Letters to God" an inspirational movie to be released in theatres on April 9.

OYYAM is willing to rent a theater in Burlington or some other midpoint if we can get a solid commitment from parishes to bring their teens/invite families or even young adults.
Please let me know if you are interested in bringing youth and I will find a theater in the center of the interested groups for the gathering.

Blessings,

Bridget


Dear Friends,It is not often that we see excitement build for a movie the way that we've seen the movie LETTERS TO GOD gain momentum. Unlike most Hollywood movies where the experience of a movie is what's anticipated, we’re finding that many are excited about LETTERS TO GOD because of the anticipation of the hope that the movie stirs inside our hearts.The release of LETTERS TO GOD is less than one month away. April 9th brings this emotionally gripping and spiritually uplifting movie to your neighborhood cinema. The movie chronicles letters written to God by a young boy who struggles with cancer. Please spread the word about the hope found in the movie to your circle of influence. Whether it's telling struggling families whom you know about the movie or blogging about it or emailing your friends, LETTERS TO GOD is a movie that so many suffering families need to hear about.To access the official movie website, Facebook page or You Tube clips, go to the official website at http://www.letterstogodthemovie.com/To see the discussion guides and other resources available for use in your parish or study groups you can go to www.worthawarenessmarketing.com.God calls us to commend the good and this movie advances the good in our world. Please take a moment and spread hope by spreading the word about LETTERS TO GOD.Thank you and God bless,Tom Allen, Exec. Producer, Champions of FaithTed Baehr, Publisher, Movieguide

ACCY 2010-2011

Now that both Deaneries in Region I have gathered their youth leadership, the Archdiocese is planning a commissioning for the next year's ACCY youth. On June 5th every parish is invited to send 2-3 youth and 1-2 adults to this large gathering of ACCY.

We are planning a one day retreat and commissioning for those interested in ACCY for 2010-2011.

Those wanting to serve as Archdiocesan Delegates are also highly encouraged to attend Ascend/Ascend HD.

For questions about ACCY or anything our Region is planning contact me at bridget.harris@seattlearch.org.

Thank you to all of our youth ministers who make Region I so wonderful to work in.
