3 SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME FOR THE RIDE HOME First Reading: Is 49: 3, 5-6 Second Reading: 1 Cor 1:1-3 Gospel: Jn 1: Baptism is the sacrament of life in the Spirit, a life of deference to God. Who has shown you a life lived in deference to God's will? How has that person inspired you to do the same? John lived his life in deference to the One God would point out. He lived most of that life in ignorance of the final outcome, but in hope God would make that outcome plain. His life gives us a primary example of Christian humility, living in deference to God's will. John was truly the humble witness. This gospel shows us the two dimensions of humble witness, the sight of faith and the witness to God's power. Where do you see God working in your life this week? Who have you told about God's activity? SCRIPTURE SHARING Scripture Sharing will continue on Wednesday s at 7:30pm in the Chapel. Led by Deacon David Vallone and Bob Freudenberg There are many ways to learn about scripture: commentaries, biblical courses, homilies and reading the passages annotations about the words or phrases. We will be primarily learning the scriptures using the ancient forms of prayer: Lectio Divina (Divine Reading) and/or Contemplation. We invite you to join us as we pray the scriptures for the upcoming Sunday and listen. Prayer is not only about us talking to God; it s also about us listening to God through his word. PARISH OPEN MEETING The purpose of this meeting is to provide the Bishop with the future of the Parish needs and the qualities you would like to see in a new Pastor. All are welcome to attend. Tuesday, January 7:30pm in the Parish Hall P R H OuTR H M TRY Pantry: Parish Outreach is very blessed to have such a giving and caring community of believers here at St. Elizabeth.
