Stewardship Scripture Reflection

Sixth Sunday of Easter
“…do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” (John 14:27)
Our limited human understanding cannot begin to understand the immense power of God. Instead of trusting in God, we think we can control every outcome. Do you want to make God laugh? Tell Him your plans. The next time worry, anxiety or fear creeps in, thank God for all He has given you and trust that He has a better plan for you.

Did you know that there is a severe shortage of military Chaplains?
The U.S. Military Archdiocese, which supplies Catholic Chaplains, estimates that it needs 800 priests to fully serve all of the Catholic men and women in uniform today, but they are only able to supply 280 – barely a third of the number needed.
The Knights of Columbus has pledged $1 million dollars in scholarship funds to help produce a new generation of much-needed Catholic chaplains to minister to U.S. military personnel. The Knights also provide direct financial and spiritual support to Seminarians who have committed to serve as military chaplains upon ordination.
After all Masses on Memorial Day weekend the Knights of Columbus will be handing out U.S. flags and accepting donations for the Knights of Columbus Military Chaplain Scholarship Fund. Please be generous. If you want to make a donation, contact Ken Weber at (706) 817-1948.

We want to thank all the parishioners who made the Red Cross Blood Drive on May 16 a success.
We collected 154 pints of blood from parishioners and the community at large which will be instrumental in saving many lives.
Donors had a pleasant experience with minimal wait times and a friendly cast of volunteers.
Please put October 10, 2019 in your calendar as our next Blood Drive.

HEARTBEAT LEGISLATION
Georgia Governor, Mike Kemp, signed into law Bill 481, The Living Infants Fairness and Equality Act (LIFE Act), better known as the Heartbeat Bill. The bill prevents an abortion after a heartbeat is detected, about six weeks into the term. There are limited exceptions, but this legislation is considered one of the most aggressive stands against abortion ever enacted. For more information go to
www.Heartbeat
.
We look forward to keeping you informed on Life issues. If there is a topic you would like us to investigate for future publications, please send an e-mail to halbenson2000@gmail.com.

Your Respect Life Committee is exploring the notion of hosting a trip to Washington D.C. in January of 2020 to support the March for Life. At this point, we are simply trying to assess interest. Some basic information:
Transportation: Air
Days: 3 or 4
HIGHLIGHTS:
Participation in the world’s largest pro-life gathering
Mass and Tour of the National Shrine at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception at Catholic University
Tour of the Holocaust Museum seeing the similarities between the treatment of Jews and the unborn
Visit to the St. John Paul II Center, with relics and stories from his life
Please Note: Based upon interest we would intend to negotiate group rates but each individual would be responsible for their own travel costs.
If you might be interested, please click on the button at the bottom of this note and complete the brief questionnaire. Keep in mind, this does not represent a commitment, just an expression of interest.
