24th Sunday in Ordinary Time
It's celebration time! The lost sheep has been found. The lost coin has been located. Jesus tells these two "lost and found" parables to show us how delighted God is when a sinner is welcomed home. Notice that God does not just "sit around" waiting and hoping that the sinner will show up. God goes out like a shepherd seeking that one lost lamb, like a woman seeking that one special coin. Then God says: "Rejoice with me! A sinner has repented."
From the teaching of Jesus, we know we are valuable to God. We do get lost at times, but God would never "lose" us. He never forgets about us.

Beginning in October, we offer an opportunity to come together in a small group to learn more about our faith. Sessions focus on the teachings and experience of the Church and prepare individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist during the Easter season. You are welcome to participate in the RCIA process with your questions, insights, and faith. Please get in touch with Deacon Tom Rothermich at deacontom@qhrwea.org or visit the Church website qhrwea.church, then click on becoming Catholic/RCIA under the faith formation tab.
A bit of humor.....
