Let’s hope the chill of the last few days has not led to a chill on our New Year’s Resolutions!! Maybe we should cut down the list a bit and get more focused. Maybe we should finally make some resolutions. Regardless, maybe we should pray for the Lord’s grace to help us keep those resolutions!
Oh, more? How about considering joining the parish Evangelization Committee where you can pray for its efforts, where you can meet with and learn with others about ways to evangelize, and where you can join efforts like Storefront Evangelization? Our next meeting is Tuesday evening, Jan. 11th at 7:00pm. We hope it can be “live” in the Rainbow Rm and that we can get together over some snacks at 6:45pm. Questions? Contact Jeff Smale (248.910.2250) or Deacon Paul (248.891.9387). This will be a special meeting where we will get some outside coaching on how to evangelize!
