Can you believe it? I know I can hardly believe it. As I am sitting here writing my web article, I realize that this is the completion of my second full year at Resurrection. It surely does not seem that I have been here that long. But I have notice the subtle changes that mark a pastor. I now go around shutting off lights, closing doors, checking locks and looking for leaks. It is true what they said, "a pastor's concerns are lights, locks, leaks and loonies." As I believe I have grown in these two years I hope and pray that I have been of some assistance to your journey with God. I have truly enjoyed these two years and look forward to serving in this parish for many years to come.
Just to catch you up on some different fronts. We are moving ahead with our plan to add 8 new classrooms and do some renovations at the school. We are hoping that the timing is right for eager contractors to do the work. This will help lower the costs. Our capital campaign will begin in earnest sometime in August or September. We are working on our third book for the book club. Our spring clean up added a beautiful rose garden and I hope you enjoy it. Another interesting fact we have over 2000 hits to our website a month!!! Thanks for using our website.
If you know of someone in our boundaries who is a fallen away Catholic or some one who has expressed interest in our faith please encourage, invite, cajole, and beg them to attend our RCIA class. We will begin with inquiry classes.
As we close another school year let us be mindful of several things. Please continue to spend time with your child in their religious education whether they attend Resurrection school or a public school. By paying attention to this area we show them the importance of it. Three great ways to show love are; eye contact, touches, and focused attention.
Our stewardship of time, talent, and treasure continues to grow. We have a need to give and what better way than to give back to God who has so generously blessed us. Please continue to spread the stewardship message among your family and friends. Let them know how it has helped you grow in appreciation for what God has given you. If you have not been called to help with an area you signed up for please call the coordinator and offer your help.
