Wednesday evening is an event called four corners. In each corner of the room, you can pray for faith, gratitude, hope, & reconciliation. The priests handle the reconciliation but the chaperones (who chose to) sit with a candle as an invitation for the teens to join them. Chaperones sit in the area they are most comfortable with. Depending on what the teen wants to pray for, they choose a chaperone in that area. (Not sure if that made sense)
We started outside but a front came though and we moved inside.
It is a very moving experience. Afterwards we spent some time as a parish sharing what we were thankful for.
Erin sent a text to Jacob that he read to the group at the end of the session. It was definitely an emotional night. The seniors ending a stage in their life. The chaperones (new and old) seeing all of these kids serving God in amazing ways. We are all so proud of each and every teen. All of the teens (but I think especially the girls) missing Erin.
Prayerfully yours,
Brenda

Ahhhhh...so THAT'S what Four Corners is. I'm anxious to hear what my guys have to say about the experience. Thanks for the update Brenda!
