Spring has come real fast. If you are like me, you are looking
forward to enjoying it. A walk, ride, sports event, barbecue etc. are
wonderful ways to enjoy the splendor that the Lord has given us. And
you get to throw in a little effort on the events we have coming
up. Thanks to all who volunteered and participated in our second Lenten
Fish Fry of 2007. Our annual Spring Membership blitz will be held after
all masses the weekend after Easter. A new twist, the 5K Reverse
Drawing and Dinner, takes place on Friday, May 11th and sounds like it will
be a lot of fun. But most of all, come out for
our Holy Week Masses and pay your respect to He who is responsible for
our being able to do all these wonderful events and enjoy our loved ones. GK
Ed Keller. |
