Rosemary's Blessing:  

 May we be blessed with the gift of contemplation

of the blessings we have received and

then put this appreciation into action to help others.

 And may there always be someone on our life’s journey

to help us on your way.

McKinley 3

Good old friends, Don & Debbie with their daughter, Heather, Jeff, and the beautiful McKinley.  

 

A special financial report from Grace, our board president:

On behalf of John Stack Ministries I would like to present the financials for the first quarter of 2015.

 First we want to thank the community for their past and present generosity. We are so thank for all you do and contribute.

 The starting balance on January 1 was approximately 14,000.00 and ending March 31 with a balance of 12,000.00.  That being said we are running 2000.00 short for the first quarter.

We have a reserve amount of 38,000.00 that we have available to tap into if our situation requires.

  Weekly expenses are approximately 1200.00 per week which includes rent, insurance, music and salary. Rosemary reports the weekly income in the weekly blog so the community can see our weekly deficits which can range from 200.00 to a 400.00 short fall each week.

 If you are able to contribute a small amount more each month we would greatly appreciate your help.  We will review our financials in 6 months and report our situation at that time.

 Thank you to the choir for the outstanding music, the family’s who attend, Kevin and Georgie and also to John Stack, John Cade, and Mike Carroll for their inspirational homilies, in making us think about our daily lives and wanting  to be better individuals. And to Rosemary for all you do that doesn’t get mentioned, as well as your endearing end of mass prayers!

Thank you,  Grace

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Autumn Months

    O God of Creation, you have blessed us with the changing of the seasons.

    As we welcome the autumn months,
    may the earlier setting of the sun
    remind us to take time to rest.

    May the brilliant colors of the leaves
    remind us of the wonder of your creation.

    May the steam of our breath in the cool air
    remind us that it is you who give us the breath of life.

    May the harvest from the fields remind us of the abundance we have been given and bounty we are to share with others.
    May the dying of summer’s spirit remind us of your great promise that death is temporary and life is eternal.
    We praise you for your goodness forever and ever.

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    … May God bless you with enough foolishness
    to believe that you can make a difference
    in this world, in your neighborhood,
    so that you will courageously try
    what you don't think you can do, but,
    in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.
