Saint Elizabeth Catholic Church, Milpitas

   

This weekend we hosted a group of young folks from Milpitas. There were about 80 students from 7 to 17 years old. They have a club called TNTT which promotes God as well as teaches about their culture.  They were supported by about 40 parents which worked the kitchen and assembled a stage and worship tent. This was a student lead program.

 Above is the stage they erected. the projector was behind and it was well secured for the breezy conditions. Below is a place of worship and prayer. They also had Eucharist in the tent/gazebo. 

 

Good thing I leave a milk crate in the kitchen area, when you put a 50 quart pot on it , well, stirring it can be a problem 

They ate in shifts. First the  students got a meal then the adults ate. We were concerned about the limitation of the dining quarters but their system worked well. 

They had prayer bags where you could drop off a note to someone in the the group. They originally were under the blue canopy by the worship gazebo. This is similar to PBCC having a Barnabas board for leaving encouraging notes.

Saturday AM they had different stations they went to. Skits were practiced songs were sung.
The weather changed Saturday night. The lightning was visible about 10 PM and lasted till dawn. It got close enough to add thunder about 2:30 AM into dawn  the rain started then as well. We got over 1/2" during the night, and another 1/2" between 10AM and 4 PM. Hopefully, it will help some of the trees, which are drought stressed.

 So the activities Sunday morning were in the dining pavilion. They held mass and we heard "How great thou art" being sung several times.

We had one motor home on the soccer field which make it off successfully.  This car had some challenges with street tires. Fortunately, he had some friends.
