The 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time, February 8, 2026

Samuel 1:  Then Samuel, with the horn of oil in hand, anointed David in the presence of his brothers; and from that day on, the spirit of the LORD rushed upon David.
Ephesians 5:  Live as children of light, for light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth.
John 9:  “You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he.” He said, “I do believe, Lord,” and he worshiped him.

 

Friendship is one of the treasures of life that cannot be bought. It can only be cultivated. It must be earned. It must be tended. It is impossible to have a good friend without being one ourselves.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

If you would prefer to give a monetary donation, that would be wonderful! Please see me at church or send your contribution via Venmo or Zelle to 972-754-0823.

Toiletries (travel size)
Toothbrush and small toothpaste
Candy
Laundry detergent pods

Thanks, in advance, for your generosity and support!
