Renovation Update

Renovation Update: March 1, 2010

All the air conditioning ducts, air handlers, and thermostat controls have been installed, and work on the Church Hall will begin shortly.  During the Church Hall construction, the contractor has been asked to maintain handicapped access to the Church Hall bathrooms if needed; however, we ask you to exercise caution around the work area so work can proceed at a safe pace.

We will keep you informed of our progress with regular photos and updates in this space.  Thank you for the continued fulfillment of your pledges as our renovation cash flow requirements start in earnest over the next 3-4 months.

Dear Friends in Christ,

The month of March finds us immersed in the season of Lent.  This holy season affords us the opportunity to reflect on our relationship with Christ and the incredible sacrifice He was willing to make out of love for us and obedience to the Father.   It is a time in our liturgical year when we reflect on just “how far love will go”.  Let’s make a concerted effort to do everything we can to make this month stand out from all others.  Let’s work on being more willing to sacrifice for others, more willing to pray for others and more willing to practice patience, tolerance, and empathy.  His example should motivate all of us towards this goal. 

I would invite and encourage you to participate in the many activities and liturgies our faith community offers in this season of Lent.  They are offered for our spiritual strength, health, and energy.  I know that life can be filled with missed opportunities, and I would hate for us to allow Lent to be one of those.  In closing I would like to wish you all a very blessed, prayerful, and enlightening Lent.  Let’s continue to pray for each other and for our parish.

With peace,
Fr. Rick
