As the Father has sent me, so I send you." When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit." (John 20:21-22) Adult: What important work does Jesus ask of you at this time in your life? Child: How would Jesus want you to treat your friends and family this week?

We had over 100 children at the Easter Egg Hunt and it turned out wonderful! Also thanks to 3rd Turn Brewery for allowing us to use their place of business, which is an old Church building, to film our "Louisville, Where Is The Love?" video. Have you seen St Bernard's Youth Ministry's "Louisville, Where Is the Love?" Facebook page? If you haven't, check it out! Our students are out and about being roving reporters on positive events around Kentucky! If you have something positive happening at your school, place of employment or personally, please give Kari Ogle at and the youth will be happy to report it! Kids love being on social media, so why not make it about something positive!! Are you a grade school or high school student who would like to be a news reporter for our Facebook page? Or are you the parent of a student who would like to be one? It's a great experience for the youth to practice being in front of the camera and learning about broadcasting and how to interview! I work with them ahead of time so that they can be confident when they get in front of the camera. Call or text Kari Ogle at for all the details and to sign up!! VBS NEEDS YOUR HELP!
