This week is about Doubting Thomas. There are worksheets available at the link below this video which you can print and use with your kids. A special thanks to the Rundman Family and Sparkhouse for providing this great resource! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmo5MOJXypM&feature=youtu.be

In need of a face mask? Please contact Becky Reinhardt. 

Becky has been busy making face masks and donating them where they are needed for essential workers and other businesses. But upon receiving a new supply of elastic, she is feeling more confident with the idea to offer to make masks for any members of Lord of Love who might have a need, and especially those whose health or occupations, put them in the high risk category. If you would like to take her up on her kind offer, please call her at 402-680-7221 or email her at   sewmuchlovebybecky@gmail.com   and she would be happy to help you out. (I know she does have kid masks available too, if needed.) Here's a picture of some of the masks she has done and ready to go when she receives a request. When those are out, she will make more, so print availability may vary.

Contemplation on the Sacraments

Adult Study, Animate:Practices-Zoom Discussion--Thursday 7pm

Before Holy Week, I had offered up some videos for contemplation and consideration, regarding ways people practice their faith. This week's video by the late, Phyllis Tickle is titled, "Sacraments| A Tapestry of Tradition." In this conversation, she talks about how these came to be and what they are. Here is the link to this video: https://vimeo.com/320834458

After you have watched this video, I invite you to consider the questions listed in the journal that we would have discussed, if we got to be together. There are also pages for you to journal on throughout the week if you would so choose.

We will start a discussion via Zoom Meeting on Thursday nights at 7pm:

Mentor/Mentee Time Still Happened!

This past Wednesday was supposed to be Mentor Night. All of our mentors, when asked to do so on Wednesday morning, agreed to call their mentees and do a lesson that was sent to them on Wednesday afternoon. Thanks to all for their willingness to still make this happen, despite the social distancing! Here's a picture Brandon Zalesky took of his mini-Zoom meeting with Avah, Evan, and Shawn discussing the action words of the Lord's Prayer.
