Council Connections Last Chance to Join Parish Leadership This Year Our Councils will be discerning our next set of Council Leaders on Tuesday, June 19. Walk-in nominees are welcome on that evening if you decide that you are being called to serve. The process will begin with prayer, welcome and a meal at 6:00 pm and then each of the six Ministry Councils and Parish Council will work through the discernment process to fill their vacant positions. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will guide nominees and leadership through this important process. There are many ways beyond leadership to Be the Light of Christ in the World. All parishioners are encouraged to discern your own gifts to determine where your light shines brightest.
LUMEN CHRISTI CATHOLIC COMMUNITY Today s Readings Seminarian Teaching Parish Ministry Promises Today s liturgy is full of promises. The reading from Genesis promises a final triumph over the power of sin and a return to a new creation. The reading from Second Corinthians promises that all who follow Christ will have to struggle. It also promises, however, that we can persevere if we but recognize that Christ is within us, renewing us daily, and giving us the courage and the strength we need to endure. The Gospel promises that doing God s will makes us family with Jesus, who forgives all sin and triumphs over evil. Today might be a good day for us to make some promises as well. We can promise to stop kidding ourselves about our own tendencies to selfishness and sin. We can promise ourselves to believe really believe that while we are not sinless, we are forgiven. We can promise ourselves to combat evil and sin by acting as sisters and brothers not only to the Lord, but to one another as well. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
