SECOND COLLECTIONANNUAL PASTORAL APPEAL

NEXT WEEKEND“Has none but this foreigner returned to give

thanks to God?”  ~ Luke 17:18Most of us live “easy” lives.  We have food,

shelter and clothing.  We go on vacation everyyear and own a car or two.   Most of us take thisall for granted.  Did you ever notice that peoplewith the least amount of possessions are usually

the most grateful?  Shouldn’t this be the otherway around?  Take time every day and thank

God for all He has given you.

Have you experienced the deep grief of losing aloved one through death? In a Grief Support Groupyou can learn valuable lessons and experiencehealing from the hurt. A support group offers youpractical ideas for surviving the deep sorrow andpain of loss. Your pain is normal. Please contactSr. Jean at 867-3663, Ext. 303 for informationregarding the date and time of the next meeting ofthe Grief Support Group.
