Benefit Dinner Success!!!

Wow! What a week! This past Tuesday we had our Benefit Dinner our at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Selah, WA. and it was an amazing success. The Reach Team members decorated the hall and then worked all through the evening to bring food and drink to all 180 of the people who came to support this ministry. It took the team almost 7 hours to set-up the hall and then the 3 hours for the dinner, but I have to admit that I had more fun doing that than I could have imagined. It was so amazing to see how many people walked through the doors, faces I recognized and many I did not, ready to help a ministry that has truly changed lives. I've (Shea) never been to a benefit dinner for Reach, so I was completely astounded by the musical and theatrical abilities of the lovely Sevigny girls- they were amazing! But even more so than that, I was overwhelmed by the gratitude that people showed towards me and all the other team members for our commitment to Reach. I was just so excited they wanted to support us and so grateful that they were willing to take time out of their busy schedules to come spend an evening with us. So, I guess that goes to show that when we do the work of Christ, He will bless all those involved in so many more ways than we could have ever expected. I know that's the biggest thing I've learned this year, and I could not be more grateful than I am for all those who continue to support this ministry through their sponsorship and prayers. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are truly bringing God to young people through your help, and all of us here are praying for you always. May God bring many blessings to you and your family, and may the peace of Christ reign always in your heart,

The Three Amigos/ Trinity Team

I hope this Easter season is going well for everyone. There have been some more changes for the Guad Quad. Matty Heffley returned home just before Easter, so there are just the three of us now. We've been officially dubbed the Trinity Team, or the Three Amigos and we're going to learn the dance from the movie and put it up here on the blog in the very near future. We just want to extend a huge thank you to Peter Berger, who despite not actually being on team has given up more than half a dozen weekends to help us on retreats. It's been a lifesaver to say the least!!! So, please keep us in your prayers, as well as Matty as she starts a new chapter of her life. May God bless you all!!!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

As the most Irish on my team, I have to say that this St. Patrick's Day has been awesome! Mary Berger's dad informed us that because this is a feast day we were allowed to have what we gave up for Lent, and he even managed to convince me (I don't even take Sundays off, though the church does allow us to. All that stuff about not fasting when the bridegroom is present. Makes sense, if ya think about it) when he told me that even the Missionaries of Charity take today off. And if anyone is hard core, they sure are! So, Mary and Fred got their coffee this morning and I'm going to go eat some chocolate later on today. It should be amazing!

We have gotten the new task of helping get ready for the fundraiser dinner, so we're busy making phone calls and organizing everything so that it'll be an absolutely AMAZING event! Thank you for all the prayers you have been sending us throughout this year, they've truly been appreciated. Please continue to pray for us and our ministry. You are always in our prayers! God bless and may the peace of Christ reign always in your hearts and your homes,
