Beginning last weekend our parish enters “5 Weeks of Thanksgiving!”  As dynamic disciples, we are intentionally engaged in a process of change, activity, and spiritual progress. As we progress, we are also called to be grateful, to think about, and pray about what we are thankful for in this journey. In the coming weeks, let us give thanks together by thinking about, growing in, and praying with the 5 Characteristics of Discipleship that we embrace in our parish: Believe, Grow, Gather, Love, and Lead.  Last week we passed out bookmarks with our weekly characteristic and prayer. If you didn’t get one, they are available on the back tables. Look for something special each weekend!
