Handmaids
Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. LK 1:38
May the beauty of this Fall Season be a sense of vitality and God's presence in our lives.
After nearly three and one-half years, what seemed to be an unattainable task was fulfilled in our parish. From ashes an elegant church was blessed on March 19th. A proud, welcoming structure was the reward of many parishioners dedication and support. As the cross was being raised to the peak of the roof on a cold blustery day a hundred plus school children and many adults watched and in our hearts we heard God say, "Well done good and faithful friends."
Now as we continue to move into the future we will need to maintain and care for our Church
Groups of men & women have for years stepped forward to clean and maintain the interior of the Church in the past. We want to keep this tradition alive. We would like to form at least eight groups of about five people in each group. The groups would only work every 6-8 weeks and the time commitment is about an hour per week. Your group can adjust the time as necessary. Groups will meet on Thursday morning or night or Friday until noon.
Individuals and Groups Welcome
Do you have a group of friends, like a book club or sport-parents who would like to do something meaningful together? This is a great opportunity for you!
Are you an individual looking to join a group? We'll help you out!
Would you Help?
Please consider volunteering. It can be a thank-you message to God for his guidance and special graces that he gave to us while the church was being built. Please contact me at the info below between September 30th-October 15th.
