“’Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.’ And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.” – Mark 10:13-16

CORE TEAM |
The Core Team is the team that supports the youth group in a personal way. When we break down into smaller groups the Core Team helps to facilitate fruitful discussions and drawing them towards life-impacting resolution. They are expected to lead first through the example of their christian testimony and faith and then through the direction of youth group in activities logistics.
AuguSteins |
“The AuguSteins is a group in Longmont for young adults (~20-35) focused on intellectual engagement through peer discussion, fellowship, and good drinks. We meet bi-weekly on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm at various breweries around Longmont to discuss current cultural topics through the lens of Catholic theology.
Faith formation is a lifelong process, one that requires both inquiry and community to grow, and the AuguSteins serve to provide both. Can Catholic intellectual thought provide a commentary on the MeToo movement? How should your faith influence your financial portfolio? How does one balance complete love with uncompromising truth in a relativistic society? These are the types of questions we look to discuss over a good beer (or water) with friends.
To join the Flocknote group and get updates on meeting dates, locations, and topics, (as well as occasional trivia nights), email Danielle Coon @ danielle.medearis@gmail.com.”
