FEBRUARY 18, 2018 From today s Genesis reading: "When I bring the clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I will recall the covenant I have made between me and you and all living beings..." Reflection: The rainbow is not to serve as a reminder to us of God s covenant with us. Instead, it is a sign to God, a "reminder," that no matter how far adrift we go; no matter that we might forget God, the author of Genesis says, God will never forget us. So we ask ourselves: - Do we believe that nothing can separate us from the love God has for us? - What effect does that have on how we see ourselves and those around us? GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP Have you suffered the loss of a loved one? You are not alone. Even in the midst of all that has happened to you, in a support group you ll find kind and loving people willing to listen and support you while you support other members. You ll discover there is hope and healing. We live in a culture that often avoids mourning, and you may be left feeling very alone. Let us help. We meet the third Saturday each month from 10:00 to 11:30am in the JPII Youth Center of Our Lady Star of the Sea church. The group is available to all adults experiencing all types of loss. We ll follow a curriculum that includes some learning as well as an opportunity to share and discuss. Call Kathy at (360)377-7674, for more info and to learn if this group is right for you. HOLY TRINITY MUSIC MINISTRY Psalm 92 begins: It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning and your faithfulness by night, to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre. You need not come to church morning and night. We don't insist our instrumentalists play the lute or the harp. But if you can sing or play an instrument, let us welcome your talent. Contact Todd at (816)838-6579 or todd@holytrinitymail.org. ALTAR SERVER TRAINING There will be a training session for new altar servers on Saturday, February 24, 9:30am 12:00pm in the church. Thank you to those who have expressed an interest in serving in this very important ministry. We are in need of servers, at all weekend masses, both adults and children at least 10 years of age. All children must have received First Eucharist in order to serve. We are asking that you prayerfully consider serving in this ministry. We welcome both male and female servers and family members who choose to make this a family ministry. If interested or have questions, please call Veronica at (360)377-7674. Current servers who would like a refresher are also invited to attend. CRUCIFIX: SPIRITUALITY, ART &THEOLOGY Wednesday, February 28, 7:00pm, Social Hall The image of Jesus on the Cross has moved and inspired Christians for centuries. How did it begin? How do artists depict it? What is its theological meaning? Most importantly: how does it form faith in me and in my parish today?

HOLY TRINITY PRAYER CORNER May Lent be for us a time of learning to see where Christ is crucified today, a time of learning to recognize the complex roots of injustice, to recognize the Gethsemanes in our global community. May we witness the suffering of God s children as Mary witnessed her beloved son s suffering. May Lent be for us a time of learning to become an Easter people, a time of learning to recognize the deep roots of compassion, to recognize we too are called to witness the empty tomb and to announce to a world in despair the Hope of the Resurrection.
