    Reminder for 13th Sunday Ordinary Time, June 28, 2020

    Here are the links for Sunday:

    For Zoom   ( the video conference, same as last week )
     
     
     
    For Youtube    
     
     
    The new way to find the you tube broadcast will be as follows :
    1. in your browser, go to   youtube.com
    2. search for "john stack ministries"
    That's it !   You will see a list of stack's broadcasts,
    including the one(s) scheduled in the future.
    Just click on the one you want.
     
    Both methods work now.   A couple weeks ago I changed the broadcast attributes from Private to Public.
    To see a private broadcast you had to know the link, but you can find a public broadcast just by searching for it.  You can even Subscribe to Stack's channel.
     
    If anybody thinks this is not a good idea, please let us know.

    12th Sunday in Ordinary Time, June 21, 2026

    ByRosemary

    Jeremiah 20:  But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion: my persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph. In their failure they will be put to utter shame, to lasting, unforgettable confusion.
    Romans 5:  But the gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one man Jesus Christ overflow for the many.
    Matthew 10:  Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

     


    Serenity is not the ability to accommodate wrongs; it is the ability to point them out without apology. “Not to be angered by injustice,” Eknath Easwaran writes, “is a lack of sensitivity.”

    ByRosemary

    Habakkuk 1: For the vision still has its time,  presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint;  if it delays, wait for it,  it will surely come, it will not be late.
    2 Timothy 1: I remind you, to stir into flame the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands. For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control.
     Luke 17: “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree,  ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”

    John Cade is home and resting.

     Learning to celebrate life is one of the best lessons a person can learn.
