Today's Reading

Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion

When Jesus and the disciples drew near Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tethered, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them here to me. And if anyone should say anything to you, reply, 'The master has need of them.' Then he will send them at once." This happened so that what had been spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled: Say to daughter Zion, "Behold, your king comes to you, meek and riding on an ass, and on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden." The disciples went and did as Jesus had ordered them. They brought the ass and the colt and laid their cloaks over them, and he sat upon them. The very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and strewed them on the road. The crowds preceding him and those following kept crying out and saying: "Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest." And when he entered Jerusalem the whole city was shaken and asked, "Who is this?" And the crowds replied, "This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee."

Please consider volunteering as a buddy for the Miracle League. They are looking for buddies for all their special needs chil dren so they can play baseball.
Miracle League: The Miracle League at Town & Country is a league for special needs children that allows them to play baseball. The Miracle League was started in Conyers, Georgia in 1998. The Miracle League at Town & Country began play in the Spring of 2006, and has had Spring and Fall seasons ever since!
Buddy: Each player will have at least one "buddy" at each game. This buddy is there to protect the player from balls, assist the player in batting and running the bases and to be a friend on the field. Considering the availability and amount of Buddies, they will be assigned to the same team for the whole season. Buddies will be given a Miracle League shirt for their participation. They are required to arrive at games thirty minutes before the start of the game and to notify the Miracle League Buddy coordinator at least twenty-four hours prior to the game if they will not be able to make the game. Buddies start at age 12. We ask that each Buddy make the Miracle League a priority and comply with our Game Sign Up system.
