Children's Sunday Formation Luncheon

Announcing an Exciting Change and a New Coordinator!

On Easter Sunday we will be announcing the move to a new Sunday format for Children's Formation with a new name. To help us with this transition in order to concentrate more energy into this area of our parish's ministry, I am happy to announce that Jane Power will serve as our Children's Christian Formation Coordinator with a special focus on our children, 5th grade and below. She will also support George Dingee in his efforts with our Youth Group. Please welcome Jane aboard, and just as important, please support our group of dedicated teachers and the parents of our kids. A special thanks goes to Jane Power, Susan Buell, Angela McCabe, Marianne Essington, Rachel Wilbanks, Stephanie Kimbrough and Susan Laver for all their hard work in seeing this important transition through, planning it and making it a success.

All Parents are invited to a luncheon on Sunday the 28th at noon in the education wing to learn about the exciting changes that are planned and to ask questions. Please contact Rachel Wilbanks if you have any questions leading up to the luncheon. She can be reached at 979-299-9973.

Brendan+

Sewing accomplishments, and a new project!

We have had a wonderful group of energetic sewists for our Uganda sanitary kit items. We will have between 85-100 kits to send with Fr. Brendan on this year's trip! This will go a long way to keeping these young women in school.

If you have any items made up for this project, please drop them off on the table behind the name tags by the end of April, so we can pack it all up.

STILL NEEDED: Washcloths (please no white), and gallon Ziploc bags.

We have decided on our next sewing project! The elementary school nurses need simple elastic waist shorts. Our next sewing day will be May 11. We will not be sewing on Sunday due to Mother's Day.

Contact Sondra Griner for more information.

Help our Local Schoolkids

Accidents happen, especially with the younger elementary school children. The school nurses need to keep supplies on hand to help the kids when the inevitable happens.

We will be helping 9 schools: Ogg, Brannen, Polk, Griffith, Ney , Beutel, SF Austin, Roberts, and Velasco.

We plan to contribute baby wipes, Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, character Band aids, and children's underwear. Please leave these supplies on the table across from the name tags.

Our dedicated sewists will be making elastic waist shorts that the school nurses can give out when needed.She is thrilled that we are doing this for the children.

We will start with a few pair of each size for each school, and then assess their needs. Sizes needed are: 4 , 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14.

Contact Susan Laver for general questions, and Sondra Griner or Kathy Hutchison for questions about sewing shorts.

Lent Madness 2019 "halo-ed" Martha of Bethany as the winner of The Golden Halo. Martha came out of the gate in the first matchup to beat her sister, Mary. An iconic match it was-the contemplative Mary vs. the fussy, ever practical hostess who chided her sister for sitting at Jesus' feet instead of helping in the kitchen and getting folks fed at their home. Martha's story echoes many of our own; her journey of faith is embedded within the web of family-Mary, Martha, Lazarus. As one who is intimately associated with Jesus' ministry, death and resurrection, she is a fine and appropriate saint to be known as the winner of The Golden Halo this Easter.

Yes, Lord," she replied, "I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world." - Martha of Bethany (John 11:27)
