Stewardship Scripture Reflection
|
|
Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
“
But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…” (Matthew 5:44)
Love your enemies, easier said than done, no doubt. But, remember, the foundation of stewardship is prayer. When we are in close communication with God, it opens our heart and it turns our attention away from “me” and moves it towards God and others. It allows us to have a little more empathy for “our enemy.” When we pray for others, even “our enemies,” maybe it softens their hearts as well.

COKAS Respect Life Ministry
Great article appeared in the February 6th edition of The Georgia Bulletin: ‘PAC supports women with challenges of unexpected pregnancies’.
Within the Archdiocese of Atlanta there are two Pregnancy Aid Clinics. The North Clinic is in Roswell and the South is in Forest Park. These clinics operate independently of the Archdiocese and adhere to Catholic sexual teachings. They are financially supported by the Knights of Columbus, the Order of Malta and other individual donors.
|
|
In 2019, the clinic in Forest Park served some 1,600 clients, with some 1500 pregnancy tests, and nearly 900 ultrasounds. The clinic reported 300 clients “had a change of hearts” about terminating the pregnancy.

Prayer of Petition:
In our journey as a faith-filled community during our Year of Service, may we all heed Jesus' call to love one another. May we show our love by sacrificial acts of service in our families, parish and communities. Let us pray to the Lord.

The “Giving Back to the Community” Golf Tournament held by Christ Our King and Savior Church is set for April 13, 2020 at Harbor Club on Lake Oconee. The 18 hole tournament is a scramble format. Players will be competing for the COKAS Cup Challenge, sponsored by BankSouth. Plans are underway for an exciting and fun day of golf at Harbor Club with the opportunity to win valuable prizes.
Last year’s golf tournament raised $35,500 for Community Outreach Programs for Greene, Putnam, and Hancock Counties. Approximately $19K was earned by selling the raffle tickets distributed to each family. Return your ticket stubs with your checks as soon as you can!
We are looking for single, doubles, and foursome ladies, men and couples golfers. The tournament committee will be glad to assign golfers to teams. For details and registration, go on-line to cokas.org or call Mark Holihan (770) 403-5702.
Sponsors are also needed. For as little as $200, a sign with the family name will be placed on the various holes, just like in the Masters tournament. Please consider being a valued sponsor as well.

Forgiveness is not forgetting but receiving the gift of inner freedom that enables us to let go of the past and not allow it to define us, our relationships, and even our futures. This retreat offers tools for experiencing the kind of forgiveness that enables us to forgive others and even one's self – often the most challenging and necessary form of forgiveness.
