Thứ Bẩy Đầu Tháng (3/7/15)

On March 7 Torrance had the honors of hosting Thứ Bẩy Đầu Tháng (TBDT). Every first Saturday of the month one doàn hosts TBDT and organizes activities in order for one another to bond and grow spiritually with one another. We also bring our "Passports to God" in order to collect stickers to possibly win a mini iPad! For every three stars, we receive raffle tickets in order to win this amazing prize.

We first started our day early in the morning at 8:30 a.m. to prepare the annex for mass, and decorations. Ngành Thiếu helped decorate our statue Mary with beautifully made paper flower assortments. By 10 a.m. we began mass with Cha Long and followed up with praying the Rosary. While praying the rosary a few Nghĩa members helped read each of the sorrowful mysteries in spirit of Easter. We prayed the sorrowful mysteries in order to follow along the pain and sufferings Mary went through seeing her only son die on the cross. After the Rosary, we began to play icebreakers and games such as "barnyard animals" and "bird and perch." We ended TBDT with delicious tacos and a a mini "karaoke session" singing along to music. 

Although the weather was extremely hot we enjoyed each others company nonetheless! Great thanks 
to everyone who came out on this special day to dedicate a small part of our day to Mary and to as well
create great memories with one another. Till next month!
