Thank you to all the volunteers who helped with the BBQ this last Saturday we could not have done it without you, we are blessed by each and every one of you, a special shout out to Janet and Bruce Alley who headed up this event. What a wonderful time we had gathering together as a parish. Thank you to everyone who came and joined us. Live the Liturgy - Inspiration for the week
As human beings, we desire to find happiness. This desire is so strong that we often go to great lengths to discover and obtain it. Unfortunately, our search sometimes brings us to the wrong places. We mistakenly think that money, certain possessions, social status, popularity, and even power and control can satisfy the longing that exists in our hearts. Time and again, one after another, these things come up empty and we find ourselves with the same unfulfilled longing gnawing at us deep within. It is only the kingdom of God that can satisfy our desire and that ache. We are made and hardwired for this. When we discover it, we know that we have found something very special--a pearl of great price. Then, everything comes together and is put in proper order: our relationship with God, others, ourselves, and even the universe in which we live.
