BINGO! Thursday, June 20th in the Parish Hall
Doors open at 6:30 pm. BINGO starts at 7:00 pm. Please join us and bring your relatives and friends. The more people, the larger the pot.
Meditation: When was the last time you approached God with good old-fashioned awe and wonder, not because you had a specific prayer answered but just because God is God. Today, spend some time with this Scripture verse and ponder what it would mean to empty yourself out before God, before Jesus, with heartfelt humility and gratitude. What would that look like? Can you stop trying to take the controls and let God by God?
Prayer: Father, for give us for our indiscretions, our human weaknesses, the same weaknesses that led the throng to yell, "Crucify him." We bow our heads at the mention of Jesus' name, knowing we are not worthy and yet are loved beyond measure. Help us never to forget that beautiful truth.
