Happy New Year!
New Year’s Resolutions are popular. Some are life-changing, some get good effort, some get “lip-service”, some last, some don’t. You may be well on your way with your resolution, or you may have already abandoned it, or you may have elected not to make one. Wherever you are with a resolution, will you please consider an addition.
Today is the Feast of the Epiphany of The Lord. The Gospel (Matthew 2:1-12) is the account of the Magi (Three Kings, Wise-men) seeking and finding Jesus. Here are the words used in the account when the Magi followed the star to the place where Jesus was:
“they were overjoyed; they prostrated themselves; they opened their treasures; they offered Him gifts”.
Here’s an addition to consider: Let’s do what the Magi did. Let’s be overjoyed with Jesus. Let’s be humble. Let’s give our best. Let’s offer Him ourselves.
Happy new you!

CELEBRATE LIFE EVENT AT ALL SAINTS
All human life is sacred! Our good God created us in His image to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this life, and to be with God in Heaven after our life on earth naturally ends. This is what we celebrate during our Celebrate Life Event on January 20.
Please mark your calendars and pop into your phones that our Celebrate Life Event will be at All Saints Church and grounds on Sunday January 20 beginning at NOON!
After 11:00 Mass, and after “donuts in the Jubilee Room”, please join us outside in front of our beautiful Church for quiet reflection, prayer, a public display of our beliefs, a warming fire in the fire-pit, and good fellowship. You may elect to walk the sidewalk in front of All Saints with a positive message sign, or you may want to walk without a sign, or you may want to stay around the fire-pit in solidarity, or you may want to pray in Church. You may want to do a combination of these. Whatever you choose is great!
ALL ARE WELCOME.
Families please know that everything we do during this Celebrate Life Event is positive.
We will conclude our Celebrate Life Event at about 3:00PM in Church with a brief Prayer Service. All are welcome to join us for any or all of this event.
Please join us for minutes or hours as we pray for all human life!
