At Better Together Tuesdays we come together as a community of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders to grow in our Catholic faith and personal relationships with Jesus and each other. We know that we're better together and none of us have to try and grow in our faith alone.
So, what do we do? We share a meal, do an activity or game together, and prayerfully learn about our faith and important topics that help us live it out. We hope to grow by intentionally praying together and talking about a particular aspect of the faith, and whatever it is we know we want to understand better. Contact Evan at e.collins@stephen.org or 402-861-4509 for more information or if you would like to help in youth ministry.
