REFLECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK

Assembly & Faith-Sharing Groups
The magi’s journey began with God’s first reaching out to them through the star; my faith journey began with God’s first reaching out to me through. . .
Like the magi, as I face the great mystery of my “newborn king,” the treasures I offer him are . . . The way I offer homage to the Lord is. . .

Hospitality Ministers
My ministry communicates how all are “coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus” (second reading) whenever I. . .

Music Ministers
Martin Luther taught that the music we sing in worship is only the return of a gift first given us by God. I/We have experienced music as a gift from God when. . . I/We return that gift to God when. . .

Altar Ministers
When I see my serving as my doing for God or others, it looks and feels like. . . When I see my serving as a response to God’s always serving me, it looks and feels like. . .

Lectors
The “chief priests and scribes” could quote the words of the prophet, but they didn’t “go and search diligently for the child.” My ministry requires that I know God’s word not for quoting but for living. The Word I am being challenged to live now is. . .

Eucharistic Ministers
As I bring the “newborn King’ to the homebound, I am privileged to witness them “open up their treasures” and “do him homage.” Their faith has influenced me by. . .

Dear Parishioners, As you make your New Year’s resolutions and make room for all the new gifts of the season...we were wondering if one of you might have a gently used computer for our parish census program. We will be taking the census in January and then entering it in the computer. It would be wonderful to have a dedicated computer for this project. Please contact the rectory if you have a computer you would like to donate.

Envelopes...An extra parish share envelope was included in your new packet for the months of January and February. Please only use one parish share envelope for each month.
