Farewell reception for Jake A reception will be held for Jake Heidel after

each Mass next weekend, January 24-25,

to say thank you and good luck. Please join us

in the cafeteria to wish him well as he leaves

St. Bernadette’s staff.

Lost and found If you lose an item, be sure to check the lost and found in the ushers’

room. If you are unfamiliar with the ushers’ room, you can ask any

usher, greeter, membership volunteer, or parish staff for help. Items

are often found when the church is cleaned and most of them are put

in that lost and found. However, some items are kept in the parish

office, such as watches, jewelry, cell phones, et cetera. We currently

have a hearing aid and a watch in the parish office, so if you lost

either of these items, please give us a call. Please Pray for Our Long-term Sick:

All those listed in the

Book of Assembly Prayer

Please Remember in Your Prayers

In today’s first reading, we hear Samuel respond

eagerly, “Here I am!” each time the Lord calls him.

May we, too, be listening for the call of God

in our lives and be ready to say like the psalmist,

“Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.”

See 1 Samuel 3:4; Psalm 40
