This past weekend, I realized that when I thanked AnneRogers for
all the years she worked with Meals & More, I failed to
also acknowledge her daughter Terri who has been there at
herside from the beginning. And there are others too, too many
tomention here, who have also been founding members of thatministry
or who have given many years of service to it. So againto all of
them, we give thanks & recognize the good you havedone.
This Stephens Meals & More Ministry has continuedto run
smoothly under the direction of Deacon Pete and thefaithful
volunteers who keep showing up week after week. If youwould like to
lend a hand, even if only on occasion, to thisgenerous group of
people, please let Deacon Pete know. Im surehell always be on the
watch for people who can cook or help inother ways too, like baking
desserts.
This Wednesday the priests of the Diocese will begathering for a
Presbyteral Convocation or coming together forprayer &
discussion. The topic of the guest speaker will beIntercultural
Competence for Todays Priest is Way BeyondBeing Multicultural. Ya,
I dont know what means either, but Ihope Ill find out! Please pray
for us. Each time a member of theclergy is brought into the
spotlight as was the case last week, thewhole fraternity of priests
suffers. We too are faced withquestions, doubts, confusion,
frustration and the sad reality of sinwhich discriminates against
no one. So our first duty under suchcircumstances is to pray, first
for ourselves & then for all Godspeople. We pray for
understanding, endurance, forgiveness,resolve, and an even greater
commitment to the way of Christ andservice to his Church. Please
pray with us and for us that God may
dispel the darkness and bring us into the light.I am enjoying
the beautiful weather weve been having
this month. But we all know that it wont last, so savor it
whileyou can.

DEACON'S CORNER:Men of the parish did you know that we have
Men's
Prayer Group that meets on the last Saturday of each month
at8:45 AM in the church. This is a great way some together
asChristian men who are called by God to be the spiritual leaders
inour homes. We use the A.C.T.S. method of prayer,
A=AdorationC=Contrition T=Thanksgiving and S=Supplication. You can
cometo just try it out and you don't even have to pray vocally.
That'sright, you can just sit there in silence and add your prayers
to thosewho do feel called to speak or to sing. It is wonderful.
Please joinus.

Why is the Church not a democratic organization?
Democracy operates on the principle that all powcomes from the
people. In the Church, however, all power comfrom Christ. Christ
himself is the one who acts in the Churwhen ordained ministers, by
Gods grace, do or give somethithat they could not do or give by
themselves such as administerithe sacraments. Christ entrusted the
entire faith to a group twelve apostles, who successors govern the
Church with the Popresiding as the successor to St. Peter.
