COLLECTION REPORT
April 22, 2012
Offertory $13,894.00 Second Collection 2,112.00 $16,006.00 Includes Faith Direct Last year April 24th was Easter Sunday April 29, 2012 - 4th Sunday of Easter Too often our society trains us to take refuge in man-made riches. Yet Thomas Merton once wrote, “There is no poverty so great as that of the prosperous.” Too many possessions can leave us empty - always questing for more things that do not really matter - while we ignore Our Lord.
FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
First Reading: Acts 4:8-12 Peter explains to the elders that his healing of a cripple was done in the name of Jesus Christ. He reminds he elders that they crucified Jesus, but God rose him up so that all people could be saved in his name. Second Reading: I John 3:1-2 John expresses amazement at the fact that God allowed us to be called his children. Although we are unsure exactly what we will be after this life, we do know that we will see God as he is and be like him. Gospel: John 10:11-18 Jesus speaks of a shepherd working only for pay, with no real concern for the sheep being well cared for. But Jesus is our shepherd and would lay down his own life for all those in his flock. God loves him for his willingness to sacrifice himself for the sake of all God’s children.

It was a fun night for all involved, and more than $700.00 was raised for our St. Vincent dePaul Conference, helping us to continue to help those who come to us for assistance. Whether you played in the game, worked at the event in some capacity, or sat on the sidelines and cheered – your participation and support is a true blessing for those who need us. Thank you so much! FOOD PANTRY NEEDS: We are truly in need of the following items to help stock the shelves in our food pantry: macaroni & cheese, tuna fish, canned meats, canned pasta (spaghetti-o’s, ravioli’, etc.), and peanut butter and jelly. At this time we are well-stocked with canned vegetables, and many types of pasta, and we are blessed to have lots and lots of beans, but all donations are welcome. All non-perishable food pantry donations, can be left in the baskets at all Church entrances. Thank you, as always for your generosity!
