The first Genesis creation story is included in this blog.  It is too long to read during the homily, so I invite you to read it prior to Sunday Mass when John Cade will talk with you about the story’s literary form.

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    Loving God,

    As I journey into the unknown territory of a new year…

    As I hurt in the process of loving those I dislike or find difficult…

    As I learn to accept my strengths, weaknesses and mistakes…

    As I keep searching for the truth in times of confusion, doubt and conflict…

    As I try to be a voice for the voiceless and powerless…

    As I strive to live and witness your inclusive love, compassion, forgiveness, justice and peace…

    As I do the work of the Christmas message and make Christ visible to others…

    Walk closely with me, my God.

  • Link Announcement for Trinity Sunday, June 7, 2020

    Here are the links for Sunday:

    For Zoom   ( the video conference, same as last week )
     
     
     
     
     
    For Youtube    
     
    Okay, the old way to access our weekly you tube broadcast,
    which is on a different link every week, has been to publish the link in the blog,
    and this week ( June 7 ) it will be
     
    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.
