4 Page 4 - Faith Monthly Messenger God s Dream: to be His Disciple The gift of the resurrection in our lives reminds us that nothing is impossible for God to forgive, heal, restore and make whole again. Jesus love for us is so powerful and so strong that nothing we can do can ever separate us from him. Easter is our reminder that the greatest gift in our life is God s overwhelming love for his people. However somewhat different from other types of gifts is that God s gift of love for us is meant to be shared and lived out. God s dream for his love is that it would invite us to become his follower and disciple and that our discipleship would invite others to do the same. How much has God s love affected your life? How much does our life reflect one who is a follower of Christ? May we each take time this month to appreciate the depth of Christ s love for us and then to consider how we can share that love effectively with those around us. Being a disciple is both challenging and rewarding, it means our life has changed. Are we willing to be the kind of disciple who changes the lives of others? Jesus did, why not us! Holy Week Celebration Family and friends are welcome to join us on Tuesday, March 31st at 10:45 am. St Clement Gr 3 students will celebrate First Communion on Sunday, April 18th at 7:00 PM. If you would like to purchase a special gift, St Joseph s Church gift shop has a variety of cards and gifts. You may purchase gifts before and after all weekend masses.

6 Destination Imagination 6 Directions from St. Clement won the DaVinci Award for Outstanding Creativity Special thanks to Team Manager Jacquie Anderson. The DaVinci Award is given to a team that demonstrates Outstanding Creativity. 6 Directions received the award because they most clearly demonstrate that spirit of adventurous risk in their solutions. The paths we follow on our journeys were once uncharted and unknown until someone took a bold step in a new direction and paved a way for us to follow. To solve our Challenges, imagination, creativity, originality, and courage are required. We honor those individuals and teams who most clearly demonstrate that spirit of adventurous risk in their solutions - those who most creatively traveled to reach truly new and unique destinations. Congratulations! You make St. Clement Proud!
