Stewardship Scripture Reflection
Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord

“The Lord God has given me a well-trained tongue that I may know how to speak to the weary a word that will rouse them,” says Isaiah in today’s first reading. The gifts God has given us are likewise given for the good of others. How am I using my gifts?

Announcements
Please click below to see our Parish Calendar for upcoming events.
It is possible that, on entering church, you may hear the Call of God.

On the other hand, it is not likely that He will contact you by phone.
Thank you for turning off your cell-phone.

If you would like to talk to God, come in, choose a quiet place, and
talk to Him.️️

If you would like to see him, send Him a text while driving!

The Silver Rose Program

In honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Sanctity of Human Life, the Silver Rose Program is coming to COKAS on Friday, May 17 in the form of a special prayer service at 7:00 A.M. This event is hosted by the Knights of Columbus and all are welcome.
Every year from March through December, Silver Roses are stewarded by councils along routes from Canada to Mexico. Every stop along the way is a rosary centered occasion for Knights, parishioners, and community members to pray for respect for life and the advancement of the message of Our Lady of Guadalupe.    
Faith Formation Upcoming Events:

Fairy Tale Festival on April 20th - -This will be in conjunction with the Southern Jubilee at Festival Hall in Greensboro. Our parish will be in charge of the "Bippity Bobbity Boutique" where the little girls come and we will do their hair (very simply), give them makeup, and glitter them for a finish. Anne Bared-Hill and Little Scholars Academy are in charge of it and will supply everything. This will be a great evangelization time for our parish and get us out there in the community! It will be from 10-3 pm but you can choose any time in there that you can help out. 

COKAS Egg Hunt on Easter Sunday -- Our egg hunt for ages 1-12 will be outside the PLC on April 21st at 12:30 p.m. If your child will take part, please donate 12 plastic eggs filled with non-chocolate treats. There is a box outside of Beth's office.

Vacation Bible School June 17th-21st --Yay! We are so excited to have our own VBS this year! It will be 9:30-12:30 pm each day for rising K-5. We need help with preparation for the week along with volunteers for the actual VBS.

I have sign up sheets for volunteers outside my office or you may contact me at  cokas.dff@gmail.com . We need adults, high schoolers, and middle schoolers to help at each of these events, so please pass the word to friends and family members.  
“How shall I make a return to the Lord for all He has done for me?” - Psalm 116:12

As we examine our lives during Lent, it is also a good time to examine all we own. Do I own something I no longer need but could help the parish? If you have an unneeded insurance policy, you can give it to the parish endowment fund. If the policy has a cash value, you may also get a tax deduction. To learn more, contact Juliet Greco at the Catholic Foundation: jgreco@cfnga.org or 404-497-9440.
