Reminder for Corpus Christi Sunday, June 19, 2022

Genesis 14:   Blessed be Abram by God Most High,  the creator of heaven and earth; 

Corinthians 11:  For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of  death of the Lord until he comes.

Luke 9:  They all ate and were satisfied.  And when  the leftover fragments were picked up, they filled twelve wicker baskets.

    Community Bulletin Board:  

    True?  I believe there is an important distinction to be made between religion and spirituality. Religion I take to be concerned with belief in the claims to salvation of one faith tradition or another–an aspect of which is acceptance of some form of meta-physical or philosophical reality, including perhaps an idea of heaven or hell. Connected with this are religious teachings or dogma, ritual, prayers and so on. Spirituality I take to be concerned with those qualities of the human spirit–such as love and compassion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, contentment, a sense of responsibility, a sense of harmony, which bring happiness to both self and others.

    Dear Father Stack,

    Thank you very much for being my sponsor for my LEGO Drive, as part of my Eagle Scout project.

    I would appreciate it, if you would please post the attached message to your blog.

    I really value all of the support from you and the Stack Community.

    Dear Stack Ministry,

    Hello, my name is Anthony DeGenova.  I am 17 years old, and am working on my Boy Scouts Eagle Project.  My mission is to donate LEGO blocks to under-privileged children.  This project includes the collection, cleaning, sterilizing, sorting, packaging, and delivery of the LEGO blocks to a few charities that cater to children. I plan to donate all of mine, and would like very much to collect as many as possible from friends and neighbors like you, who wouldn’t mind giving theirs up for needy children.  I am accepting both used and new LEGO blocks. Please bring the LEGO blocks to church and my parents will pick them up.  Alternatively, I will gladly pick them up from your house, at your convenience. 

    If you have any questions, please contact me at:

    Telephone: 972-495-3639

    Email Address:  anthonydegenova@outlook.com

    I look forward to your support, and hope to make this drive and my Eagle project a success. Thank you very much for your help,
