4th Sunday of Lent, March 15, 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.
Socks

Toothbrush and small toothpaste
Candy
Laundry detergent pods

Thanks, in advance, for your generosity and support!

    Isaiah 50:  The Lord GOD is my help, therefore I am not disgraced; I have set my face like flint, knowing that I shall not be put to shame.
    Philippians 2:  Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness;. . . .
    John 9:  He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The teacher says, “My appointed time draws near; in your house I shall celebrate the Passover with my disciples.”‘”


    “Friendship,” Coleridge writes, “is a sheltering tree.” It shades us in the sun, shelters us in the rain and protects us from the harsh winds of life. Our friends stand between us and the storms of life to give us the time and reflection we need to become our strongest selves.
    The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

    Donna Dinsmore asks for prayers for her daughter, Dana, (and unborn child) who is having  some problems during her pregnancy and still has 10 weeks to go.
