ART & ENVIRONMENT
AND LITURGY PLANNING
FOR ORDINARY TIME We are now entering the Liturgical
Season of “Ordinary Time”—time outside
of the two main seasons of Christmas and
Easter and their preparatory seasons of Ad-
vent and Lent. This first part of Ordi-
nary—ordinal, numbered (there are 34
weeks total) —Time lasts until the begin-
ning of Lent, five weeks from now. As the
Liturgy Planning committee read the scrip-
ture readings for the next several weeks, a
central idea seemed to emerge that we can
reflect on the origins of our call to be a fol-
lower of Christ and what accepting that call
means for the way we live in the world.
We are God's masterpieces! He
crafted us and formed us in the womb as
beautiful, messy, complicated and unique
persons. We can sometimes see ourselves
as plain, ordinary, or unimportant, but He
sees us as a unique manifestation of him-
self. We wanted our art and environment to
reflect the idea that God loves each of us
and ALL parts of us. The nice parts we
show people and the messy parts we want
to hide. We are all multifaceted and all
called to be part of the body of Christ. So
our GREEN streamers (green is the color
for Ordinary Time) are intentionally ran-
dom and a little messy like us! Each piece
reflects an individual person bonded to-
gether with others in the Body of Christ to
form a tapestry of faces of God. And still,
each of us matters to the story and to the
author.
If you are interested in joining our
Art and Environment or Liturgy Preparation
teams or would like more information on
what both do, please
contact either Paula
or Mary at 254-6233.
COLLECT FOR THE SECOND SUNDAY
IN ORDINARY TIME
Almighty ever-living God,
who govern all things,
both in heaven and on earth,
mercifully hear the pleading of your people
and bestow your peace on our times.
One wonders how often this same plea has
been sent to God. In the course of countless centuries,
in countless countries, for countless reasons, people
have had to live in fear. Oppression, aggression, war,
terrorism, invasions, armed conflicts, and hostilities
between governments or among peoples have ravaged
the human landscape and have defiled the human spir-
it. In our how homes, jealousy, anger, addictions, and
selfish behavior have destroyed harmony in personal
relationships. Yet, what we all long for is peace—a
state of tranquility which will allow love to grow and
life to progress undistributed.

Thanks to all of my friends who helped me
through Gene’s funeral with Masses, prayers, food,
cards, and friendship. Arlene Deis
WITH GRATITUDE Thanks to all the incredible volunteers that
have called for dishes, and served and made food for
the bereavement luncheons, especially in the last few
weeks. The families are so appreciative of this minis-
try.
If anyone would like to be involved in this
ministry to help call, serve or make one of your favor-
ite dishes, please contact Carol Engel at 258-8510
or 572-8499.
There are also quite a few dishes in the
Smith Building, left from previous luncheons, that
need to be picked up.
We would like to thank Fr. Dave, Deacon
Ralph, the Bereavement Committee, and the parish-
ioners of St Helen, for all their kindness and prayers
during the passing of John Madden. The Madden
Family

wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a
sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the
first one.”
In Your Name this work is accomplished!
