Stewardship Scripture Reflection
Fifth Sunday of Lent

“For his sake I have accepted the loss of all things and I consider them so much rubbish, that I may gain Christ…“(Philippians 3:8)

The first commandment says that we should not put other gods before the Lord. Sharing all of our gifts, our time in prayer, our talent in charitable works and our treasure to support Church needs helps us keep God first in everything. It helps us from putting other gods before God. It helps us to use our gifts for the glory of God and not for our own honor.

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!
Monthly Intention

Prayer Petition: Vocations: clergy, religious, single life, married
Prayer Petition for each week in April:   In our journey as a faith-filled community during our Year of Prayer, let us pray for all vocations; that we will embrace God's call to holiness: whether married, single, ordained or in a religious order. Let us pray to the Lord.

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.
