"Pastry Shoppe is Open!," say Stella and Ulysses.

To My Dear Fellow Community Members: 

I am thinking about Our Community donating to the Hurricane recovery $2000.   We can afford the donation and the board has approved of the move.  What do you think?

 We are in the process of selecting a trustworthy partner and one where the executives are not receiving inflated salaries.   At the moment we are considering smaller, more local groups like The Houston Mayor's special recovery fund just set up and the Houston Food Bank

 We can talk about this Sunday or you may text me or Rosemary, or send an email.

Thanks, John

True?

We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve years telling them to sit down and shut up.

Second Sunday, Ordinary Time

Mass: Sunday, 9:30; coffee, donuts, muffins (home made) & juice on the house

Place: Vines High School on 15th between Customer and Independence

Readings: Isaih 62:1-5; Psalm 96; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; John 2:1-11

Genesis 12:   I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you;
2 Timothy 1:  He saved us and called us to a holy life, not according to our works but according to his own design and the grace bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before time began, . . .
Matthew 4:   And he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light.

To be an artist of our own life, we must learn how to detach our selves from it long enough to reconstruct it. “Every now and then, go away and have a little relaxation,” Leonardo da Vinci writes. “To remain constantly at work will diminish your judgment. Go some distance away, because work will be in perspective and a lack of harmony is more readily seen.”
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

From Lynda Fleming:

Once again, we would like to put together Easter treat bags for the guys at Souls Harbor. Donna Dinsmore is out of town for several months preparing for a new grandchild, so I will be coordinating the collection. Below is a list of the items that we’re hoping to include. If you would prefer to give a monetary donation, that would be wonderful! Please see me at church or send your contribution via Venmo or Zelle to 972-754-0823.
Socks
Toiletries (travel size)
Toothbrush and small toothpaste
Candy
Laundry detergent pods

Thanks, in advance, for your generosity and support!
