A Day in the Life of the SPIRITUS Team: Monday Edition

Hello SPIRITUS blog readers! Thank you for reading our posts throughout the year where we have given you a little insight into the beautiful ministry. We thought we would do something a little different with the blog this week and give you a little more of an understanding of what our team does each day of the week. I have decided to write a blog post for every day of the week explaining what I did that day from Monday 2/4 until Sunday 2/10. Every week on SPIRITUS is a little different and every person’s day might vary a little bit but 

here’s a glimpse of what goes on here at SPIRITUS!

Monday, February 4, 2013

Happy Monday! This chilly but beautiful Monday begins with the whole team meeting at St. Pius in Appleton for morning Mass followed by praying Morning Prayer (Liturgy of the Hours) together. After Mass and Morning Prayer we travel back to the Mount Tabor Center for breakfast and our weekly lifestyle meeting. Every week we meet together at the beginning of the week to discuss the past weekend’s retreats, go over the week’s schedule, get retreat assignments and discuss any other odds and ends. These meetings are a great time for us to gather together at the beginning of the week to make sure everyone is on the same page 

and to talk about any joys or struggles we as a team are facing.

Since it is the first Monday of the month, it is Bible study day! Every first and third Monday of the month we have our Bible studies for young adults and teens. We have Bible studies in three locations – Green Bay, Fond du Lac and here in Menasha. This night, the Bible study topic is Theology of the Body and most of the rest of the day is spent preparing for Bible study. We do take a little break to celebrate some birthdays though! Today it is actually both Robbie and Aaron’s birthday and so we celebrate by singing “Happy Birthday” and eating ice cream cake. We are so blessed to be able to celebrate with our wonderful brothers 

in Christ on their birthdays!

Finally it’s Bible study time! I stay here at Mount Tabor for the Menasha Bible study with Jared and Callie. We were also lucky enough to have Mark join us for the night. The young adult Bible study (called Inspire) is first and it’s filled with a great discussion about Theology of the Body which incorporated reading passages from the Gospel of Mark, Genesis and Tobit. Next, is our high school Bible study (Teen Disciples). Our teens that came were awesome and we had an insightful discussion followed by prayer and praise and worship. Our teens love to sing and we could continue singing praise and worship songs for hours but as it gets late we say good bye. The night ends by cleaning up, discussing how the Bible studies went and we can’t help but start planning our next one!
