NIGHT of REFLECTION: The Healing Power of Love

Discover the truth of your sexuality and what you were created for in God’s eyes. With the discord in our world, we can lose sight of the truth and who we are in Christ. Distorted images of sexuality flood our environments and confuse our nature. This is a wonderful workshop for parents and will help those important conversations with your children. Whether you are struggling with poor self-image, addictions or just want to learn more about the Theology of the Body, come join us for a night of truth & healing. Presented by Joelle Maryn and Yvonne Howington.

Thursday, October 19, 7:00 – 9:00 PM in the Café & Youth Space of the PLC. Reception to follow.

You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

John 8:22

And the Funnies:

A pious man who had reached the age of 105 suddenly stopped going to Mass. Alarmed by the fellow's absence after so many years of faithful attendance, the priest went to see him. He found him in excellent health and spirits, so the priest asked, "How come after all these years we don't see you at Mass anymore?"

The old man lowered his voice, "I'll tell you, Father," he whispered. "When I got to be 90, i expected God to take me any day. But then I got to be 95, then 100, then 105! So, I figured that God is very busy and must have forgotten about me, and I don't want to remind him."

Over coffee and donuts after Mass one Sunday, an engineer, a physician, and a politician were arguing over whose profession was the oldest. Not surprisingly, they ended up discussing God, creation, and the Garden of Eden.
The doctor boasted that medicine was the oldest profession, citing the creation of Eve. "Taking a rib from Adam's side was a major surgery," he said. "There's no profession older than mine."
The engineer did not give up easily. "Before Adam and Eve were created," he said, "the chaos had to be organized and set in good order. That's an engineer's job. My profession is even older than the Garden of Eden."
The politician just smirked and asked, "Guess who created the chaos?"
