1 John:  Beloved: See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God.

Matthew 5:  When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.  He began to teach them saying:…

Rosemary's Blessing:  

Gracious God inspire us with the hope in the gift of shalom, the gift of wholeness and the promise of your presence.

Give wisdom to seek nonviolence as an answer to the violence of our lives and world.

Give us courage to seek wholeness in a fractured and divided world, to find reconciliation rather than revenge, to abandon the instruments of violence and death and entrust our lives, our homes and our families to you.

May your presence fill us and others with the thirst for unity, wholeness, and the desire to see all people valued as created in your image.

May we and others receive your shalom, that we might be faithful instruments of your love.

Blessed be your name forever,

Amen.

  • Reminder for the 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, January 19, 2025

    Isaiah 62:  No more will anyone call you Rejected, and your country will no more be called Ruined. You'll be called Hephzibah (My Delight), and your land Beulah (Married), Because God delights in you and your land will be like a wedding celebration.

    1 Corinthians 12:  All these gifts have a common origin, but are handed out one by one by the one Spirit of God. He decides who gets what, and when.

    John 2:  This act in Cana of Galilee was the first sign Jesus gave, the first glimpse of his glory. And his disciples believed in him.

  • Reminder for 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 18, 2024

    Proverbs 9:  "Are you confused about life, don't know what's going on? Come with me, oh come, have dinner with me!   I've prepared a wonderful spread – fresh-baked bread, roast lamb, carefully selected wines.  Leave your impoverished confusion and live! Walk up the street to a life with meaning."

    Ephesians 5:  Sing songs from your heart to Christ.  Sing praises over everything, any excuse for a song to God the Father in the name of our Master, Jesus Christ.

    John 6:  In the same way that the fully alive Father sent me here and I live because of him, so the one who makes a meal of me lives because of me.

    Betsy!  Where you been?  Missing you tons.

     

    From our Dearest Becky:

    Legacy Preparatory Charter Academy is now your drop off point for needed medical supplies such as gloves and masks. We are also combining this with a food pantry drive.

    If you feel the need to help during this special time and can bring any or all of these needed medical supplies and/or food donations, Legacy will get them to the appropriate sites.

    Hours are between 8 am and 4 pm Monday – Fridays. Week end hours by appointment only for large donations.

    Location: 601 Accent Dr., Plano 75075

    Please share share share !

    Also from Becky:

    Legacy has just spent the last week preparing to be closed for probably the year and yet still have school. We are fortunate that the Texas Education Agency and the Commissioner of Education  has allowed educators to continue to be paid if we make an attempt to instruct children while they are home.

    Not only at Legacy, but educators around the state have been doing just that. Many districts like us will be starting online school or giving out instructional packets on Monday. We also started our food program back early last week and on Tuesday handed out over 1000 meals in one day. Every Monday now families can come and receive 7 days worth of food for each child in the home. For many families, especially for the ones who has a parent or two who has been laid off, it’s making a tremendous difference.

    I am proud of my leadership team and what they have accomplished in one week’s time. But you know what’s even better? Knowing that Legacy is not unique. You will continue to hear wonderful stories of what school districts around the state of Texas are doing to meet the needs of families through food support and low tech and high tech learning. It’s a great time to be proud of your public school system!

    Acts of the Apostles 10: You know what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power.  He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

    Colossians 3:  When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory.

    John 20:  Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed.   For they did not yet understand the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead.
