R4U

COMING THIS FRIDAY! BRING A FRIEND 😊😊🌟

“Genuine love … is demanding. But its beauty lies precisely in the demands it makes. Only those able to make demands on themselves in the name of love can then demand love from others.”

R4U: A SENSE OF SELF begins tomorrow night at the Institute for Mission, from 6:30pm - 10:30pm. Join Christina Rujicica, Alicja Borciuch, and the rest of the Ycw Parramatta team as we explore our sense of "SELF" and the importance of being intentional and discerning when reflecting on the person facing us in the mirror :)

Hello fellow liberators !

Apologies for being away for a bit, our team is busily planning the next event which is the joint TCP and R4U Winter Sleep Out at the YCW house in Granville.

Unfortunately due to certain circumstances we’ve had to change the date for this event, so it won’t be happening this Friday and instead will be on August 24th !

Look forward to the great things that are coming up at Parramatta YCW!

God bless :)

You're all invited ! Please feel free to bring several friends :)

Hello R4U community !

You may be thinking, why isn’t there any news about the next R4U in June ? Well we’re here to tell you that due to the influx of uni exams and assessments coming up (that some of us have to do as well :(), we will not be having an R4U meeting in June and will recommence at the end of July.

…BUT DO NOT FRET !!

We’re also here to invite you to our annual Parramatta YCW Worth More Than Gold Retreat at the end of June (June 29th-July 1st) !! It will be held within the the beautiful area of the Blue Mountains, and is a weekend to learn more about the YCW, create actions to take collectively and more than anything, it is a time to have fun and come together as a community. Please see the attached photo for more information and if you’re interested in coming please let us know (message, or email us :)!) by the 18th of June, as we have limited spaces available!

IN OTHER YCW NEWS UPDATES:
Our next R4U will then be held on the 20th of July, but will be a little different to our usual R4U nights as we’ll be having a joint Review and collective action with our TCP (The Cardijn Project) brothers and sisters for a Winter Sleep Out, to raise awareness and funds for Youth Off The Streets.

Hope you all have a very blessed week ahead, and good luck to all those with exams or assessments coming up !

"The quality of everything we do: our physical actions, our verbal actions, and even our mental actions, depends on our motivation. That's why it's important for us to examine our motivation in our day to day life. If we cultivate respect for others and our motivation is sincere, if we develop a genuine concern for others’ well-being, then all our actions will be positive."
~ Dalai Lama

Last Friday we had our review on 'Respect' and these are the captured memories from the night ! We'd like to thank all the participants and volunteers who made it to R4U this month and those leaders who helped out on the night (Rafael Tordilla, Anthony Pope, Matthew Mitchell, Alicja Borciuch, Lucas Rujicica, Miggy, Elizabeth McFarlane, Walker Aloiai, Sean Robert Gehrig, Usufono Taefu, Franklin Fong, Joshua Regis, Father Piotr Kruk, Christina Rujicica and Marilyn Bellett (who ran the review !)).
