From a Marianist Community of student brothers open to visitors for Sunday Eucharist, Queen of Apostles Community emerged as a non-territorial parish on August 28, 1973.

Continuing in the tradition of the Marianist Charism, we come together each week as a family of Catholic, Christian believers, to worship our God in the Eucharist with song &

praise and to share in the breaking of the Bread. In so doing, we proclaim our willingness to build a community of love and to be the holy people God calls us to be.

If you are visiting and worshipping with us for the first time, we extend to you our warmest welcome. Our prayer is that your worship experience will be uplifting and Spirit filled.

We hope you will visit us often and worship with us!

(If you’d like more information about us or would like to join our Community, please fill out the form on the back cover and drop it in the collection basket!)

NOTE: If the form on the back is missing, email [email protected] with your name, phone number, address and we’ll contact you about joining us.

Marianist Doxology May the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit be glorified in all places through the

Immaculate Virgin Mary.

STEWARDSHIP & GIVING

3rd Sunday in Lent: “You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything…” (Exodus 20:4). How many “gods” do you put before God? “Idols” do not always take the shape of physical things, things we can touch and feel. Those are easy to recognize. Many times they take the form of things we cannot touch and are much harder to spot - pride, power, ego, comfort or health.

3rd Sunday in Lent

Presider……………………. Fr. Tom Schroer Assisting............................. Liturgy Planners…………... Linda Folmar Music Director……………... Teesie Chandler Interpreter for the Deaf....... Susan Fraker

Exodus 17:3-7: Uncertain of Moses ’ leadership and quick to question whether or not the God who miraculously brought them out of Egypt would remain with them in the desert, the Israelites challenge Moses: “Why did you ever make us leave Egypt?” In their challenge, the relationship between Moses and God comes into focus. God answers Moses’ prayer. The Israelites were learning early in their forty-year journey to trust that God was in their midst and that Moses was their worthy, prophetic leader.

Romans 5:1-2, 5-8: Being “justified” means, for Paul, that when a person has faith in Christ, that person receives all of God’s graces that flow through Christ. Through faith in Christ, we are reconciled with God: we have “peace with God.”

John 4:5-42: The initial exchange between Jesus and the woman is tense as the woman challenges Jesus for even asking her a question, then accuses Jesus of dishonoring “our father Jacob.” Despite the tension, Jesus begins to reveal himself to the woman as “the living water.” As Jesus reveals what he knows about the woman, she initially identifies him as a prophet, since Jesus knew about her misconduct. But then Jesus reveals himself as the long-awaited Christ. The woman undergoes an honest conversion and expressed faith in Jesus as the Christ. And she brought the good news to her fellow Samaritans, inviting them to a similar encounter.

Ministers Taking Eucharist to Those Not With Us

Presider: Let us send these ministers to those who could not be with us.

Response: Receive the Body of Christ for the nourishment of those who are not here with us. Assure our friends of our prayers and blessings throughout the week.

GOSPEL REPONSE Come Now, O Word of God

Fill our minds, that we may hear your wisdom; Touch our lips, that we may speak your truth;

Hold our hearts, that we may always follow you; Come now, O Word of God.

PRAYER OF BELIEF – John Shea

We believe that where people are gathered together in love, God is present and good things happen and life is full.

We believe that we are immersed in mystery, that our lives are more than they seem, that we belong to each other,

and to a universe of great creative energies whose source and destiny is God…… We believe that God is after us,

that God is calling to us from the depth of human life. We believe that God has risked Self and became man in Jesus.

In and with Jesus we believe that each of us is situated in the love of God and the patterns of our life will be the pattern of Jesus - through death to Resurrection.

We believe that the Spirit of Peace is present with us, the Church, as we gather to celebrate our common existence, the resurrection of Jesus, and the fidelity of God.

And most deeply we believe that in our struggle to love, we incarnate God in the world. And so aware of mystery and wonder, caught in friendship and laughter,

we become speechless before the joy in our hearts and celebrate the sacredness of life in the Eucharist. Amen.

SOUP SUPPER & RECONCILIATION SERVICE: Wednesday, Mar 18th, in Si Lounge. We begin at 6:00 PM with our Soup Supper, followed by Reconciliation with private confessions afterwards. Everyone is invited.

NOTE: We need some help with volunteers willing to bring soup and others to help clean up afterwards (clearing/wiping down tables and washing/storing dishes). This will make it much easier for all of us to be immersed in the Reconciliation experience. If you are willing to volunteer, please send an email to Deacon Greg at [email protected]. Thank you!

Our next dates to sew together will be Mar 11th (9:00am-4:00PM) and Mar 12th (4:00PM-??). If you can cut fabric, pin, use an iron, hand and/or machine sew, we would love to have you join us. We need at least three serger machines, three regular sewing machines, 2 steam irons, a gallon of distilled water, 2 ironing boards, lots of long quilting pins, and sharp sewing scissors. If you don't sew but would like to help, we can teach you. Making these duvets is not hard and is actually a great opportunity for learning some basic sewing fundamentals.

And thanks to everyone who has helped us begin this project and to those who helped obtain and donate fabric. We’ll need to purchase more fabric for backing, plus thread, needles, and snaps before Mar 11th. Monetary contributions would also be greatly appreciated. Please contact us if you can lend a helping hand or have any questions. All are welcome!

NO BAPTISMS IN LENT: In the ancient tradition of the Church, the season of Lent is a special period for penance, prayer and fasting to prepare the unbaptized for baptism and deepen the conversion and renewal of those who are baptized. In keeping with this Lenten spirit, we will not celebrate baptisms between Ash Wednesday and Easter. Naturally, circumstance, such as the welfare of the child, health of the mother or other serious pastoral reason may dictate an exception.

READY… AIM... A bishop, a priest, and a deacon, were about to be executed for preaching the Gospel in a foreign land. They bring out the bishop first and the guard shouts, “Ready… aim…” and suddenly the bishop yells, “EARTHQUAKE!” When everyone looks around, the bishop runs off. Next they bring out the priest. They guard shouts, “Ready… aim…” and suddenly the priest yells, “TORNADO!” When everyone ducks, the priest runs off. By then, of course, the deacon had it figured out. They bring him out and when the guard shouts, “Ready… aim…,” suddenly the deacon yells, “FIRE!” "
