Holy Week Schedule:

• Palm Sunday, April 10–Mass at 10 A.M.
• Good Friday, April 15–Service at 4:30 P.M.
• Easter Vigil, Saturday, April 16–Service beginning at 4:30 P.M.

Dear Friends,

As we continue our journey through the holy season of Lent, it is good to remember that this is a special time, that we should take, one day at a time, to strive to be our best selves, and the wonder of it is the fact that this practice will not only benefit all others that we meet each day, but ourselves as well!

Come; prayer with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

We continue our Lenten journey this week as the Scriptures call us to keep our lives in balance–between the good of our lives here and the ultimate good, one day, of heaven. It is good to remember throughout these Lenten Days that we are “spiritual beings” here, having a “human experience!”

Come; ponder all this with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Lent is upon us. This time means something different to each of us. Let’s listen to our hearts and follow our brother, Jesus. We are told in the readings this week to basically follow the Scriptures, which is another way of saying the same thing.

Come; pray with us this week…

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

We are called this week to consider that who we are inside, what we cultivate, will be seen in our actions, in our words. Something to ponder.

Come; pray with us this week.
