Alleluia, Arise! Connect with Jesus! His Resurrection is Ours!
A. Today’s Special Items
You no longer need to register for in-person Mass attendance!!!
1. Remember that Lenten Recommendation – “the-best-version-of- yourself”??
At the beginning of Lent Fr. Patrick suggested that we look at and follow Matthew Kelly’s prayer guidance on page 41 of I Heard God Laugh. The guidance from that was we should discern how we should change and to get to work on forming ourselves into “the-best-version-of-yourself”. That is, change our habits for now and for the future! So, here in the Easter Season are we living better lives than before Lent? Less “bad” stuff and more “good” stuff?? Those changes could be in our physical/health activities, … or our mental/intellectual side … or our social/relational side/our love of neighbor … or our spiritual side/prayer side/our love of God. Blessings on your attempts to be your best version!2. Check to See if God is Asking YOU to …
Have you felt … have you heard … the Lord possibly hinting to you that it is time to try to be just a little more bold? Here are three suggestions on how you could do some of that with fellow Corpus Christi members.
1. You could join those who are Visiting Our Neighbors (VON) … this year it will be the neighborhood west of Lahser.
2. You could join those who stand outside one of the neighborhood grocery stores and offer prayers to those coming to the store and those leaving the store. (Store Front Evangelization … SFE)
3. You could join others praying for those two ministries by staying in church in prayer.
This year we are planning these ministries for Tuesday evenings (6:30 – 8:30pm) and Saturday mornings (10:00 am to noon). Questions? Wanting to join the efforts? Please send a return email with your contact information!
3. Get rid of Those old Leftover Drugs!
Saturday, April 24th, is DEA National Drug Take Back Day. Turn in your unused or expired prescription and over the counter meds for safe disposal. Contact your local Police station for drop off information. The 8th Precinct in zip code 48219 is probably closest to church.

Subject: Please Share: 20 Temporary Jobs Immediately Available at Wayne County COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics
Dear Community Partner:
Attached are job descriptions for three types of positions that are currently available to support the County’s COVID-19 vaccine clinic operations. Additional staff is needed as the County expands capacity at its vaccine clinics at Schoolcraft College and Wayne County Community College-Taylor; the County is also preparing to open 4 additional clinics across the County. Candidates must have a high school diploma or GED; an Associate Degree or two years of college-level course work is preferred but not required. Candidates must exercise sound judgement and have strong problem-solving skills as they will need to effectively resolve unexpected issues that arise on-site.
In a nutshell, there are two types of positions:
Emergency Preparedness (EP) Team Leader / Deputy Team Leader– these two positions serve as the on-site managers for all vaccine clinic operations. The Team Leader and Deputy Team Leader are the main contacts for non-clinical operations, including overseeing all volunteers, which include greeters, crowd control, and those who handle registration. The Deputy Team Leader supports the Team Leader and takes the reins during the Team Leader’s unavailability.
EP Tech Support– this person oversees and coordinates all technology equipment / needs on site at each Vaccine Clinic. The EP Tech Support is also responsible for resolving on-site technology-related issues.
Salary: $24/hour, plus benefits
Anticipated Length of Employment: These temporary positions are grant funded and are immediately open to be filled. Funding is currently available through September 30, 2021. Subject to additional funding, the positions may be extended up to the end of the calendar year (December 31, 2021).
Employer: Since these are temporary positions, SEMHA, a staffing agency that provides employees for several grant-funded Wayne County Public Health positions, will be the employer. However, all temporary employees will report to, and be directed by, Wayne County staff.
How to Apply: Candidates referred by a faith-based or other community partner should submit their resumes and letter of interest to China Cochran, Director of External Affairs for Wayne County Executive Warren C. Evans, at: [email protected]
Thanks for your help with spreading the word about these Wayne County employment opportunities!
Best,

Generations of Faith 2020/21
Why Do I Need the Church?
When you hear the word Church, what comes to mind? A building? the Pope and Bishops? a gathering of believers? This month’s video explores the Church as a communion of all believers, as the Body of Christ, as branches joined to the vine that is Christ. Saint John Paul II said, “we’re saved like a cluster of grapes.” What does he mean?
Learn more by watching this enlightening video from FORMED and, of course, a panel discussion with Corpus Christi parishioners can be found at the end of the video. Don’t miss it

8. You are Invited, You are Welcome, You’ll be Safe!
Please join us in person at Mass. We’re so happy to welcome you back! We’re being diligent about keeping you safe by following our Covid-19 protocols which include:
Things the church is doing:- Running our six (6) medical-grade air purifying units in the church before and during mass thus removing bacteria and viruses, including the Covid virus, from the air.
- Providing hand sanitizer throughout the church for your use, as needed
- Taking your temperature as you come into the church. (Please do NOT come to mass if you are feeling ill or running a temperature.)
- Bringing Holy Communion to your pew (Fr. Patrick, a Deacon or an EME comes to you).
Things we ask you to do:- Wearing a mask at all times over your nose and under your chin (everyone two and older).
- Maintaining a 6-foot physical distance between you/members of your household, and others not in your household, both in the pews and in other seating areas, before and after mass.
