Convocation: a Communal Work of Service

Saturday, January 12, 3:00 pm

Fireside Room 

Discern with us how to become more than a "come and see church."  We desire to also be a "go and do church."  We are entering a process to listen, dream, hope, and discern how to live the gospel by engaging in communal works of service (works of compassion, justice, advocacy).  We all do our part individually, but some of us feel it's time to work more collaboratively on this.  Please join us for this convocation where we will discuss these questions:

What about this communal work of service might I fear?

What about this communal work of service could make me joyful?

What about this communal work of service do I most desire?

Join us!  Contact Frank with questions.

Sunday Mass Experiment Continues: Second Sunday

January 13, 2013

10:00 am

Janelle Carron's home

We continue our experiment with adding a Sunday mass once a month.  We are not changing the Saturday liturgy in any way.  Nor do we intend to.  However we have been told by some that they are not able to attend on Saturday evenings sometimes (or ever) and that they would like to have a Sunday mass option.  

Mass will be celebrated on the second Sunday of each month through May, with Jessica and Frank alternating as presiders.  Mass will begin at 10:00 am.  Janelle Carron offers her home as a venue during this time of experimentation.  Let her know you are interested in coming so she can give you her address: janellecarron@earthlink.net.  A small group intends to be there each time; so you won't be the only one there!  Spread the word.  All are welcome!

Sts. Clare & Francis "Mission" Continues in Belleville

We have a mission growing in Belleville.  A mission is a kind of "starter community" that is sponsored by and supported by a more stable community.  This small group of persons has been celebrating the Eucharist together every other week (Saturday at 4:30 pm) at the home of Ginny and John Dahlberg.  The next one is coming up on January 19th; Frank Krebs will preside.  

Call 618.334.8395) or e-mail (milwginny@att.net) to indicate that you would like to come and to get directions.   All are welcome!  Here we grow again!  Get the Word Out!

Team of Drivers for Ed

Community member Ed Bilger needs a ride to church on a regular basis.  If we have a team of volunteers, we can share this task.  Team members would be assigned a date to drive Ed to and from church and could switch with each other, just like we do with liturgical ministries.  Ed can maneuver up and down the stairs at his house with the aid of a special cane and a railing.  

Driver will need to have space in their car for and be able to handle Ed's wheel chair and cane.  Ed lives in the Bevo Mill area of St. Louis.  If you are willing to assist in this way, please contact Frank at fekrebs@msn.com or 314.740.1160.  You'll enjoy this opportunity to get to know Ed better.
