Family Prayer
Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
The Word of God speaks to all who hear it.
- In today’s reading, Ezra presents the Torah to the people as the Word of God.
- The Torah consists of the first five books of the Bible.
- After the people listened to Ezra, they rejoiced with a great celebration for God’s gift of the Word.
We are the body of Christ and each is a different part.
- The reading from 1 Corinthians presents Paul’s image of the Christian community as one body alive in one Spirit.
- In a healthy body all parts serve for the welfare of the whole.
- One of the gifts held by the Christian community is the gift of the Word of God.
Jesus is the fulfillment of the Scriptures.
- In the introduction to this Gospel, Luke suggests that he knows of other Gospel accounts.
- The story of the beginning of Jesus’ ministry follows Luke’s introduction.
- Today’s passage highlights compassion and liberation as the theme of Jesus’ ministry and concern for the weakest members of society the mark of his identity as Messiah.

A Message from Mr. Oberdorf
Hello,
Our open house is scheduled to kickoff Catholic Schools Week January 29 at 2:00-4:15 with Mass to follow at 4:30. After Mass the Home and School is hosting a spaghetti dinner for our school families and prospective families. R.S.V.P forms were sent home last week. If you are interested in attending and do not have the form, please contact the school office to R.S.V.P. It will be a great opportunity to socialize, meet new people, and share a meal. Please come and celebrate our St. John the Evangelist community and see some of the things happening in our school.
One of the things happening in our school is our K4 students learning about penguins. They read a National Geographic for Kids book about penguins and a story, “The Penguin Who Wanted to Fly.” When I visited the class, the students were working on making their own penguins and were excited to share what they had learned. Below are some pictures of them working on creating their penguins and a few examples of the final project.
Mr. Oberdorf

Spaghetti Dinner Help Needed
As part of our school open house, we will hold a spaghetti dinner following the 4:30 PM Mass on Saturday, January 29th. We will need help in setting up on Friday and serving and cleanup on Saturday. Please volunteer using this Sign Up Genius. This is a great opportunity for our middle school students to add to their required service hours. |
