3rd Sunday of Easter, April 19, 2026

Acts 2:  Jesus the Nazarene was a man commended to you by God with mighty deeds, wonders, and signs, which God worked through him in your midst, as you yourselves know. This man, delivered up by the set plan and foreknowledge of God, you killed, using lawless men to crucify him. But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it.
1 Peter 1:  He was known before the foundation of the world but revealed in the final time for you, who through him believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory,
Luke 24:  That very day, the first day of the week, two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred.  And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.


It’s not difficult to get rich.   But it’s difficult to learn to have enough.

         Last Sunday, December 4, The 2nd of Advent.   The gift: Toys.  Thanks to Beth & Rob Robinson for coordinating.  Beth says they need volunteers to sort & hand out toys:

    If anyone is interested, the store could use some extra hands to man "store," where the parents/caretakers come in to find toys for their children. Here are the hours that were suggested by the coordinator, Vicky Stilly: 

    On the 14th  - we could use 2-8 volunteers from noon to 2p and/or 4p to 6:30p

    Romeos, Welcome!    Jason's Deli, 1:00, Friday. May 28.  Required: vaccines, mask for entrance & departure. 

     

    All of you who attended Mass this past Sunday are welcomed this Sunday.  We were circa 35 people.   Another 10 would fit in comfortably.  It seemed safe enough and time for us to take off our masks this Sunday.  It was exhilarating!  Feedback?  One head's up: be conservative on hugging for the Sign of Peace.  Not everybody is ready yet for hugs.
