Care Ministry

 

There is a gentleman who would like communion. He lives in a foster care home on Rhine not far from 148th. If you could do this he would be so grateful. There is need for a Eucharistic minister the second  week of the month at Powellhurst Nursing Home and the third week at Cornerstone Nursing Home. No experience necessary, will train. Call Becky at 503-761-8710.

 

Gift Bags:  After everyone has opened their Christmas presents, you may have gift bags that you usually throw away. I would love to have them for our Care packages next year. I will leave a box in the narthex for drop off or you may leave them at the Parish Center.  Recycling in action!  Thank you - Becky.

Thought for the day. . . . .

 

" We need to live in what He has done, and not in what we are trying to do."

The Knights of Columbus are sponsoring a DVD presentation of Fr. John Corapri (of EWTN fame) presenting the Catholic Church’s approach to Scripture Study. His approach will be presented in three two hour sessions in the Social Room with the first session January 20th the second session on January 27th, and the final session on February 10th. All sessions begin at 1:00 PM. The sessions provide information on how to read Sacred Scriptures without the risk of misinterpreting.  This is a great opportunity for everyone to listen to a very dynamic speaker and to better understand how to read, study and interpret the Bible.
