First reading (Isaiah 6:1-8) When Isaiah was called by God to be a prophet his first reaction was to declare his unworthiness. But then, cleansed of his sins, he responded at once to God’s call.   Second reading (1 Cor 15:1-11) Paul energetically defends the doctrine of Christ’s resurrection from the dead. At the same time he insists that he is the least of all the apostles.   Gospel (Luke 5:1-11) This relates the miraculous catch of fish and the call of Peter to share in the work of Christ.

“Laziness and cowardice are the two greatest enemies of the spiritual life” Thomas Merton

Special Thanks to all those who attended the meeting last Sunday (January 24, 2010). If you were unable to attend and still have something to share, please feel free to contact Cindy. The recommendations which came from the discussion include; preparing an insert for the bulletin which will update the parish on Soup Kitchen volunteer opportunities and the current schedule of activities; post a "jobs" list and sign-up sheet in the kitchen so that parishioners can select an activity which fits their week days and/or the weekend schedule; and to emphasize that everyone is welcome to join an activity, even if there is a limited amount of time to offer; the focus is on being together, sharing in the ministry work and having fun. The final recommendation was that we offer an orientation/training so people might know more before volunteering. A Community Service potluck gathering will be planned within the next few weeks, (date to be announced). This will be a perfect time to meet some of the wonderful volunteers currently serving and perk the interest of volunteering in this ministry and to begin sharing our dreams for the future. COMMUNITY SERVICE POTLUCK - Current volunteers and those who would like to volunteer in the Soup Kitchen and Community Service & Social Activities, are invited to a potluck on Tuesday, February 9th from 6:30-8pm in Murphy Hall. Come meet, visit and get to know each other. Share your comments, questions, ideas and concerns. All are welcome and appreciated!
