Our Rose Buds are dedicating their month of October to the virtue of Truth and they are working very hard this month to truthfully bear witness to Life. During Respect Life Month, our Rose Buds will be helping with the collection during our parish "Pennies for Life" Campaign, as well as organizing a donation drive to gather items for the local Christ Child Society's layette program.
Our first October meeting was held, fittingly enough, on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary...our model for saying "yes" to life! How perfect is that?
We started our afternoon together with a beautiful coloring page to add to our binders.
The girls have been invited to gather after our October 10 Mass to collect donations for our Right to Life Committee's "Pennies for Life" drive. To prepare for the drive, the girls created prayer cards to pass out to all the parishioners as a "thank-you" for their donations. The girls worked hard to add ribbons and charms, flowers and bows to the cards to make them look like baby shower favors. They turned out so cute and will be a beautiful message to all who receive one.
After working so hard on the prayer cards, the girls were soooooo excited to see what was in the treat boxes this week! Mrs. A "wowed" us all again with her fantastic cupcakes, iced baby-blue and pink and decorated with life saver mint "binkies"! Absolutely adorable and quite a hit with all the buds!
And we ended our meeting with some fun, fun, fun (baby-themed, of course!). The girls ran a relay race of "dress the baby". Hilarious! It was a great way to end a fun afternoon dedicate to Truth and the gift of Life.
God Bless You, Rose Buds!
Heavenly Father, You created men in Your own image and You desire that not even the least among us should perish. In Your love for us, You entrusted Your only Son to the holy Virgin Mary. Now in Your love, protect those little ones to whom You have given the gift of life.
Keep planting seeds!
