From Geri Moran with the Shawl Ministry for Babies:
Dear Friends of Stack Ministries,

On behalf of all volunteers at St.Elizabeth Ann Seton
Shawl Ministry for babies we would like to thank you for your interest
in participating in this outreach.  We could use knitters, crocheters, and fringers plus people to sew on labels and make the tags as the need is great.

For those who are available to stop by, we meet the second Tuesday
of each month (August 11th) at 7pm in the Faith Formation Center located at
3100 W.Spring Creek Pkwy, PLN 75023
 
I believe this ministry may be a blessing to you as well.

God bless you all,
Geri

From Marianne Elwell concerning the cruise next summer:

Re the cruise – if someone is interested in the cruise, or even think they might be interested, they only have to put a deposit of $25.00 per person by 8/26.  They can always cancel (up to a certain point and I will find out what the latest cancel date is), but we need at least 8 cabins booked by then or we lose the group status. 

If you can put in the blog to encourage anyone who even might be interested (including yourselves in case your hips fail) just to put the deposit down, if we get at least 8 cabins, we’ll be good to go.

True?  Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed.
Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love,
grace, and gratitude. 

Dennis Waitley

 

Note: Following discussion among the board members, we decided that we have to give up inviting our dogs to Mass.  Some people have allergies, some are skittish, but above all the Health Dept. might get upset and invite us out.  So sorry, you kids and dog lovers.  J.S.

Isaiah 22:  He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.  I will place the key of the House of David on Eliakim’s shoulder; when he opens, no one shall shut, when he shuts, no one shall open.
Romans 11:  Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!  How inscrutable are his judgments and how unsearchable his ways!
Matthew 16:  “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah.  For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.  And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.  I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. . . .”

 

They asked Duke Ellington how he learned to play such soulful music and he told them, “I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.” Point: It’s learning to let what’s in us out that is the key to becoming the fullness of the self.
