January 3, 2016 Page 2 The Epiphany of the Lord

A week or so before Christ-mas, I asked someone in

Christian outreach how things were coming with the Giving Tree. “This parish is….” began parish volunteer Donna Vaughn. She paused for a few moments. She had so much passion, I worried she might be frustrated. “Beyond words!” she concluded—at the same moment fellow volunteer Angie Zylstra chimed in “generous.” “More than generous,” Donna added. Thank you to everyone who contributed to our charitable efforts, which were listed in last week’s bulletin. A special thank you to Angie and Donna who

coordinated the Giving Tree’s outreach to families here and at St. Joseph the Worker Parish in Wyoming and Elaine Vander Baan for collecting socks and toiletries for those in county jail and state prisons. Please join me in also thanking Nancy Benson and her crew for adorning our worship space so beautifully for the seasons, to our liturgical ministers, and to the parish staff who help pull things together with constant support and encouragement from parish volunteer Tony Grandy. Remember — Christmas continues until next Sunday. Keep the spirit alive!

Our prayer list for healing

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT — As we celebrate the Epiphany of

the Lord this weekend, we hear of the Magi’s natural response to com-

ing in contact with the Lord—they immediately paid him homage and

offered their gifts. As Catholic Christians today, we won’t “see”

Christ in the same way the Magi did, but we can encounter him in the

poor, forgotten, lonely, the stranger, as well as in our family, friends,

even our enemies. Christ is in everyone. As stewards, we are called

to respond appropriately, in some way paying homage to Christ in

them and offering them gifts you may have at the time. How can you

better respond to Christ’s presence around you this week in paying

homage and sharing your gifts? by Andy Rebollar, Pastoral Associate for

Parish Life.

CATHOLIC RENEWAL SERIES: Have you been away from the

Catholic Church for some time and would like a refresher on some of the Church’s beliefs and practices? Are you a Catholic who feels alienated, hurt, or confused? If so, you are invited to join us for a five-week “renewal” course. This will be a time to listen and learn about topics, ask questions, clear up misconceptions and hurts, and deepen your faith and identity as a Catholic. We will meet 6:30-8:30pm beginning on Tuesday, Feb. 9-March 8. Contact me at 532-9344 or [email protected] for more information or to register.
