The wisdom, enthusiasm and leadership shared by all the members of our Pastoral Planning Team is greatly appreciated. There are many moving parts to operating our campus and community life. There are also many members of the community sharing their gifts, skills and talents behind the scenes working quietly making sure that everything works for the good. Even on a weekend with surprise ice underfoot, individuals rise to the occasion and make sure we can all enter safely.
Seeking the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit as we move into the future takes a willingness to focus on the urgings and the workings of the Holy Spirit without distractions and coaching to keep on track. The members of the PPT will continue to keep our community functioning as a vibrant faith community. Our monthly meeting will be on hold through the month of September while several PPT members will work together with a Coach from Divine Renovation, to do the work of listening to the Holy Spirit. These five members will be our “Vision Team.” I am asking for your prayers for those who will be on this journey together and the work we do for our parish.
Vision Team Members: Donna Rajcula, Pam Chaplin, Karen Daige, Tim Pettepit and me. Periodically we will be seeking your wisdom as we do our “homework” assigned by our coach. As soon as we know who will be coaching us, we will keep you in the loop. Remember, your prayers for us are so very important.
As you can see in the parking lot, work has begun for the installation of the solar panel carports. We continue to extend the Alpha invitation. Some have mentioned that they can’t make the first session. We are accepting guests up until the third session which is February 24th. The team is ready to begin the journey with Alpha 3.
Next weekend Fr. Jim Lyons will be here to celebrate Mass while my brother “Noon” and I visit our brother John and his wife for one week in Florida. This is Noon’s first time flying so pray for me!
