5th Sunday in Ordinary Time

“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” MATTHEW 5:16

The generosity of being a good steward of your gifts has a positive effect on people, and it is
contagious! Good works encourages more good works. Generosity is a by-product of a grateful
lifestyle. The more we recognize God’s gifts, the more we want to share them. Good stewards
recognize that God is working through them, and they don’t put themselves above the people they have been called to help.

Ladies Sodality

Our next meeting is on February 3rd from 5:30pm-6:30pm in the Parish Hall. We have elected new officers. Our new President is Bobbie Heifner, Vice-President is Kim Coleman, Secretary is Laura Allen, and Treasurer is Diane McGirl.

We will be hosting Indoor Dining Fish Fries on February 27th and March 27th, serving beginning at 4pm until sell out. Please mark your calendars. The chili/soup cook off has been cancelled to allow us to host these fish fries.

Lenten Bible Study

There is a study guide. The cost is $5 to offset the cost of paper & ink. If writing a check, please make it out to St. James Church. You will need to provide your own binder or folder. YOU WILL NEED A BIBLE AND CATECHISM FOR THE CLASS. The Catholic Catechism can be found online on Amazon. This is not a video-based study so be prepared for homework and reading. The following books are recommended as additional reading but are not necessary for the class.

Catholic & Christian by Alan Schreck
Reasons to Believe by Scott Hahn
Made for More by Curtis Martin

available as well.

Below are the dates for the study. Keep in mind that because of scheduling issues (availability of the buildings and my schedule) not all sessions will be in order each week. So, if you plan to jump around, please watch the schedule and attend when you are able.
