      2.   Make a Little Go a Long Way 

Take $25 dollars and see what good you can do with it! Buy seeds and grow veggies for the food pantry; buy individual flowers and hand them out to shoppers at Walmart; purchase fabric and make tie blankets for the Children’s Hospital or Project Linus; ask a nursing home what small donations they would like to offer as prizes for their residents when they play Bingo or other games.  Need some inspiration- read about ideas here!  

       3.  Pick 5!

Choose 5 Father Mike Schmitz Videos to watch and write about what you learned below (make sure you include which videos you choose, why, and two things you learned from each video). https://media.ascensionpress.com/category/ascension-presents/fr-mike-schmitz/  

      4.   Attend Holy Week (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil) 

Come celebrate the holiest time of the church year. Go to each of the Holy Week Masses and participate fully! Then share two take aways from each Mass being very specific- Examples: what did you hear that was different from a normal Sunday Mass, what did you see that was inspiring, or where did you feel God speaking to you?
