Last Sunday for groceries for the Winona Food Shelf collection this month–as always, please be generous! Thank you!
We continue our Easter alleluias as we journey with our brother Jesus toward resurrected life. We remember the call of last week that we ponder what needs to be resurrected in us to be his true followers.
Come; be with us this week!
Peace and love,
Pastor Kathy

We are in the season of “Alleluia” –we are in fact Alleluia people, if we choose to be! Jesus is risen and in that knowledge; we have hope. Jesus is our way, our truth, and our life.
Come; celebrate with us this week!
Peace and love,

Dear Friends,
We are meeting on Saturday, today, for our Easter celebration as it is the 3rd Saturday of the month and we regularly meet then for Mass. Given that, it allows us to partake in the very rich and meaningful, Easter Vigil liturgy. This service incorporates the story of our faith, from our fore parents and prophets on through to the coming of our brother, Jesus, the Christ of whom we celebrate in completeness this weekend.
The Easter Vigil is rich in ritual–the lighting of the new fire, the blessing of the new water, a renewal of our baptismal promises and the Eucharist.
Come; be with us and celebrate these beautiful tenets of our faith. If you can’t be with us, know that our community will be praying for you and your families this night–a special blessing be upon those who are traveling to get there and back, safely.
Peace and love, Happy Easter!
Pastor Kathy
P.S. It was announced at our Good Friday service that the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship had invited us to a special service on this Sunday. This was in error–the service is on April 23rd instead. Sorry for the confusion.

Dear Friends,
Good Friday Services, today at 4:30 p.m.
If you can’t be with us, here are the Scriptures for your reflection:
This is a beautiful, solemn service when we will have the opportunity to reflect on the Scriptures, pray for our Church and world, reverence the cross, and receive the Eucharist. Come; be with us to remember with gratitude and love the great love and compassion of our God for us.
Peace and love,
Pastor Kathy
Dear Friends,
Mass on Sunday, April 9, 2017, 10 A.M.
With this Sunday, we begin our observance of the holiest week of the Church Year. We are invited to walk with our brother Jesus through the completion of his earthly life, death and resurrection, pondering what that was for him and ultimately, what it means for us too. Hopefully, you will carve out some time for yourself this next week to reflect on all that these events can teach us–Jesus was human and he was God. In his humanity, he suffered loneliness, discouragement, lack of faith, as do we, but he also strove after what was best in him–faith in a God who loved him, unconditionally, knowledge that he was never really alone, and strength in his discouragement that God is never closer than when we are in pain. This is truly what the resurrection is all about!–becoming our best selves–whole people!
Come; ponder these mysteries with us beginning on this Sunday, Palm Sunday. SEE HOLY WEEK SCHEDULE BELOW:
