Reminder for Pentecost, June 8, 2025

Acts 2:   Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them.  And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.

1 Corinthians 12:To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.

John 14:  The Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you."

    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,

    Anthony DeGenova

    2 Kings 4:  When the woman had been called and stood at the door, Elisha promised, “This time next year you will be fondling a baby son.”
    Romans 6:  We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him.
    Matthew 10:  And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because the little one is a disciple—amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”


    To be able o be the source of calm and joy in the midst of crisis is to stir timid souls to life again. “Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile,” Thich Nhat Hanh says, “but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”
