Rosemary's Blessing:   

Revel in a friendly Smile

Grasp the offered Hand, warm and strong

And with your best Love be reconciled.

Watch the Clouds march across the Sky

As You come from your daily Labor

Your Heart open for Surprise.

And may the God of Surprises

Who filled the World with Wonder

Bless you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

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

                                Grace presenting our finances 

 Have a Good Week, J.S

Rosemary's Blessing: 

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

Gracious God, slow my pace and soften my heart this Christmas. 

Keep me

from rushing through the season, but missing the Way . . .

from wrapping the gifts, but missing the Gift.
