HOW’S YOUR MEMORY?
Have you ever walked into a room
and forgot why you are there and what you were looking for? Or lost your
car keys only to find that they were where they belonged? It is not just
age that does it. Have you received a call from one of your children
because they forgot their lunch or their homework.
Last
week the Stewardship Commitment Cards were mailed out to all the
parishioners. Are you thinking to yourself "Where did I put that"?
Hustle
on home, look for it and return it next week to the collection basket or
mail it in the enclosed envelope that was provided.
