Rosemary's Blessing:                            

This Advent, let us believe and trust in the broader meaning of the season. 

Deep faith is a creative energy that opens us to participate in what God wants to do for us in our personal lives and through us in our broken world and fragile Earth.

The weeks of Advent give us the time to ask: What are the dark places in my life that need God's wisdom, uplifting and light? 

What's not OK in me? 

What's preventing me from feeling the love, unity and peace I want and God desires for me? 

Where do I fall short of witnessing God's inclusive love, mercy and justice? 

To each of these questions, we say: Come, Lord Jesus, come!

    Invitation: Rosemary & I invite you all to our 2nd anniversary party, May 5, Fairview Farms (same place as last year), Parker & Central, northeast corner, ca. 6:00. We will have some couples renew their vows, covered dish, hors d’oeuvres, and music for dancing. Also, the slide show The Great East African trip.

    From Kovatis: “Thank You” just doesn’t capture my appreciation, or that of the Groundwork Board, for your hard work and the enthusiasm you brought to the Operation A.C.T. Clean-up last Saturday. Based upon my rough calculation, we removed between 2 and 3 tons of trash from the Rochester Lakes area of the Great Trinity Forest.

    Operation A.C.T. is a prime example of what a group of interested and dedicated citizens can do to “leave a place in better shape than they found it”. Please accept our sincerest thanks for helping us improve the Great Trinity Forest for the citizens of Dallas. You can be assured that this will be an ongoing mission for Groundwork Dallas.

    (In a separate bulletin I will send pictures; too much now.)

    Next Mass: April 15
