MARCH 2021
This month we will have our Disciple Now! event that was postponed to Saturday, March 6. During this afternoon we will work on a service project for HAAM and play dodgeball. Please consider bringing a food donation to fill the HAAM Nutrition Packs. We will also have our Edge Night on Monday, March 29. See the information and links to RSVP for both events below.
We pray that God's love and protection has continued to be with your family, even through the unexpected storms! Please let us know if there is any special way that we can support you and your family.
God Bless,
Lisa Hartsfield

In this month of March and Year of St. Joseph, we especially honor St. Joseph. See information below on how you can participate in our community food drive and St. Joseph Altar, as well as ways for your family to enter into a deeper devotion to St. Joseph this year.
ST. JOSEPH ALTAR - MARCH 7
at the 9:00 and 11:00 am Masses
Join our Family Catechesis community in collecting food to donate to those in need in our community.
Bring donations of individually packaged fruit cups for St. Martha's Kitchen, or any non-perishable food to go to St. John of the Cross Food Pantry. Place your food donations at the St. Joseph Altar and offer prayer intentions. Receive a goodie bag with items to strengthen your devotion to St. Joseph in this Year of St. Joseph, and see how you can offer your Lenten works this season with his intercession.
