A Word from Fr. Kevin on Commitment to Christ
This Saturday, at the Easter Vigil, I will ask you this question:
Do you reaffirm your renunciation of evil and
renew your commitment to Jesus Christ?
It’s a weighty question. Are you ready to follow Jesus Christ all the way, wherever He may lead you? It may help to prepare yourself for that moment by praying this prayer (source unknown):
Help me, Good Shepherd, to
Receive what you give,
Release what you take,
Lack what you withhold,
Do what you ask, and
Be what you desire.
Amen.
A Word from Fr. Kevin of Affirmation
Savior member Sherry Anast sent me the following note, in response to the sermon on March 3, where I talked about how our church affirms the liberty of women to lead and preach in the local church. Sherry writes, “Here are some other ways that our church affirms people:
People smile at fussy babies and dancing kids
Singles participate and are valued as are the married folks and children
Handicapped folks are accommodated
Sick folks are remembered
Mentally challenged, young and older, are included
All who are willing are challenged to contribute their gifts
Old people are shown respect
Everyone is truly welcomed and cared for
Gracism in action!
Church community done right!
I love our church!”
