Bulletin – 5th Sunday of Lent

/ kredig

Dear Friends,

Mass on Sunday, April 2, 2017, at 10:00 A.M.

This week we continue our journey to Easter.  The prophet, Ezekiel reminds us that the very breath of God is within us–Paul, in his letter to the Romans expounds on this idea that it is the “Spirit of God dwelling in us that brings us to life.”  And then in John’s beautiful account of the rising of Lazarus; we receive the hope that our brother Jesus always  has for us–“I am the resurrection and the life–those who believe in me, even if they die…will never [ultimately] die!” Come; ponder these mysteries with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Readings: 

  • Ezekiel 37: 12-14
  • Romans 8: 8-11
  • John 11: 1-45

 

Bulletin – 4th Sunday of Lent

/ kredig

Dear Friends,

Mass on Sunday, March 26, 2017 at 10 A.M.

Remember that March is Food Share Month–please be generous! Thank you! 

This of all, I just noticed that the bulletin for last Saturday’s Mass didn’t go through–I tried to send it from Beijing, and had thought it had gone, but not so– I am sorry for any inconvenience that may have caused you.

We continue our Lenten journey this week which is really a walk in faith.  We are asked to consider the ways that we might be “blind”  in our walk with Jesus as we think about the physical condition of blindness in this week’s gospel.

We are back from our China trip and are looking forward to being with you again! A heartfelt thank you to Pastor Dick for standing in for me.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Readings:

  • 1 Samuel 16: 1, 6-7, 10-13
  • Ephesians 5: 8-14
  • John 9: 1-41

Bulletin – 2nd Sunday of Lent

/ kredig

Dear Friends,

Mass on Sunday, March 12, 2017 at 10 A.M.–Remember this weekend begins Daylight Savings Time–Spring Ahead!

Remember the March Food Drive for Winona Volunteer Services–canned meats and fish, low sodium soups and vegetables, canned fruits packed in water, peanut butter, whole grain cereals and oatmeal, brown rice and whole grain pasta, complete baking mixes-pancakes, muffins, biscuits, dried beans and peas and low-sodium canned beans–our board has also approved a $300 donation in your name–all that is given and collected in this drive goes a long way to keep the food shelves supplied well into the year, so be as generous as you can–Thank you all! 

Abram and Sarai, our forebears walk in faith in this week’s reading from Genesis–God will make them a nation they are told –“the Creator loves justice and right.” Paul tells us that we cannot be ashamed or afraid to speak for the truth of being a follower of Jesus. And Peter proclaims from the mount, “How good that we are here!”

Come; celebrate and ponder these mysteries with the community this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

P.S. Pastor Dick Dahl will be with you this week.  We are grateful to him and for your prayers in our absence.

Readings: 

  • Genesis 12: 1-4
  • 2 Timothy 1: 8-10
  • Matthew 17: 1-9

Bulletin – 1st Sunday of Lent

Dear Friends,

Mass on Sunday, March 5, 2017 at 10 A.M. 

Our Ash Wednesday ritual of dispensing ashes will take place this Sunday.

March 2017 is FoodShare Month to supply the Winona food shelf with needed supplies of non-perishable food for this next year.  Please be generous! Pick up a list of needed supplies on Sunday. 

We have begun our yearly journey through Lent. The ashes of Wednesday remind us to search after what is best in us and others and perhaps “fast” from those things that don’t bring about the “best” in us.

Come; be with us this Sunday as we ponder the mystery of this holy time.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Readings:
