Bulletin – 2nd Sunday of Advent

/ kredig

Dear Friends,

As we move through this season of love; we are challenged to open our hearts wide to find the ways that we can enter our world with the gentleness of a child, yet the strength of a mature follower of our brother Jesus.  We need to reflect on the simplicity of his coming among us in order to keep our focus on the neediest in our midst and affect our present day world as he did his!

Come; celebrate with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Bulletin – 1st Sunday of Advent

/ kredig

Dear Friends,

This Sunday begins the holy season of Advent—a time of expectant waiting for Jesus, Emmanuel—God-with-us to come into our lives in a special way.  It is also a time to seek Jesus, our brother and friend, out—a time to begin again, a new Church Year, and hopefully, a new beginning in our lives, to be all that we can be.

Come; celebrate with us this week! This is also the last Sunday for the November Food Collection for Winona Volunteer Services—please be generous! Thank you!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

 

Readings:

  • Jeremiah 33: 14-16

Bulletin – Feast of Jesus, Our Brother and Friend

/ kredig

Dear Friends,

With today’s feast, we complete our Church Year—next Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent.  Traditionally, this has been named the Feast of Christ, the King.  Jesus our brother was really more about servant-leadership than he was about being a king.  He was really more about establishing a kin-dom than he was about setting up a kingdom.

Come; let us ponder these truths on Saturday at the 4:30 P.M. Mass.  We will be having a pot-luck supper to celebrate Thanksgiving as a community immediately afterward. We would love for you to join us—let me know if you can come and what you will bring.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

 

 

Readings:

  •  Daniel 7: 13-14

Bulletin – 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

/ kredig

Dear Friends,

This weekend marks the end of Ordinary Time with the following weekend being the feast of Jesus, as King, but more so, our brother and friend.  There is much terminology about “end times” and “the end of time”—terms we must understand in their context.  Our life of faith and action should bring us hope and not fear as we ponder these mysteries.

Come; be with us this Sunday!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

P.S. Final call to participate in next Saturday’s (11-21) potluck after the 4:30 P.M. Mass.

Readings:

  • Daniel 12: 1-3
  • Hebrews 10: 11-14, 18
  • Mark 13: 24-32

 

Bulletin – 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

/ kredig

Dear Friends,

We are called on once again this week to consider what we truly need in life and we might consider as my dear deceased mother-in-law, Margaret used to ask, “How much do I need and how much do I want?”  The prophet Elijah encourages us to, “not be afraid.” Come; join the All Are One community this week to ponder and pray over our needs and our wants.

Robert and I won’t be with you this week—we will be attending the Call to Action conference in Milwaukee.  For those who may not know CTA’s history—this was a gathering originally called in 1976 by the bishops to get the laity more involved in the Church. The bishops today have all but disavowed themselves from this group, because the laity truly took them at their word!

Dick Dahl will be with you this Sunday. Thanks Dick!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

P.S. Just a couple weeks until our Thanksgiving pot-luck—sign up soon if you haven’t!

Readings:

  • 1 Kings 17: 10-16
