Ultreyas


Tonight it began with a wonderful and grace filled evening. It is a blessing gathering with many who love Christ and are looking to enhance their relationship with Christ. We were blessed to have friends from all over the state. We are meeting every third Tuesday of the month. Come to Gorham next month, come be a friend, make a friend, then bring a friend to Christ.

From our Holy Father

In the silence of a home, where there may only be 50 cents left until the end of the month, but where there is always prayer, care for children and grandparents, there is the Kingdom of God. Far from the noise of the crowd, because the Kingdom of God “does not attract attention” in the same way a seed that grows underground does not attract [attention]. Pope Francis

Learning to avoid saying yes immediately

I've come to realize that not saying yes is a challenge. Two parishioners came into the store to buy paint and soon the conversation moved to a discussion on our parish and the buzz that they sense and then my own ministry. "You must find it challenging balancing everything ....yes...will you be going to the nursing homes? Pause..."I would love to, but at this time Fr Kyle has assigned some tasks he would like me to do." That pause and response was difficult. Realistically, I don't know if I really have the time. I shared with them what I am now doing and they understood. My spiritual director shared saying no is also a sign of wisdom. Slowly, I am beginning to learn.

A thought this day...perhaps every day!

Encourage each other daily while it is still today (Hebrews 3:13).
