Thirty Years of Youth Group Memories
Denise Gruender and Lisa Gilkey have led our grades 4-8 Youth Group for an incredible 50 combined years! Denise jumped in as a young adult, well before she became a parent. Literally thousands of great memories have been made and hundreds of families have been blessed by Denise and Lisa’s gifts, energy, creativity, and love of Jesus. Join us in offering a prayer of thanksgiving for them as they retire from Youth Group. We look forward to seeing them on our Children’s Liturgy videos and around St. Gabriel!

A Poem from Ms. Denise and Ms. Lisa
The time has come to say “goodbye,”
a combined 50 years of service to our
youth just flew right by!
And so we leave with a great big sigh.
Over the years, we’ve watched you kids grow
from tiny little ones to those
of you now making the big dough!
Corn mazes, summer theatre,
mystery dinners and more...
especially teaching kids to serve the poor.
We just hope you’ll continue the
fellowship and fun.
Just promise to make God
and Gabe’s your number one.
Meeting your parents was always a pleasure.
Tell them thanks for trusting us
with their biggest treasure.
Tell them their patience we really did appreciate...
especially when we returned
from events oh so very late!
But don’t you worry, Ms. Denise and Ms. Lisa
will still be around Gabe’s,
especially on Sundays, taking care of our little babes.
It’s been quite a ride with the kids
and the crew—all of you
But it’s now time to turn over the reins.
Good luck to all of you!
We love you and we’ll miss you!
