READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 14, 2017
2nd Second Sunday of Ordinary Time
"He first found his own brother Simon and told him, 'We have found
the Messiah.'" After spending the day in the company of Christ, Andrew
took action. He shared the good news! Instead of keeping his newfound
friendship with Jesus all to himself, Andrew invited his brother into the
fold. Andrew found Simon and "brought him to Jesus." This was no small
matter because Simon would become Peter, the first pope! How important
it is to bring others along with us to meet Christ!
Yet, how often do we reach out with the kind of confidence that
Andrew had? Are we ready and willing to share our faith with our family
and friends? Do we consider our relationship with Jesus a gift to be
shared, or a fact to be safely hidden away in our personal prayer corner?
Part of our call as Christians is to evangelize others, to share with them
the good news of salvation. Loving Jesus and following his moral
commands is essential, of course, but it is not the end of the story. The
Gospel message is meant for all people, and we are meant to be its
messengers. Sometimes this requires us to step out of our comfort zone. It
may mean speaking up when we'd rather be silent. It may mean inviting
someone to Mass when they might say no. But it might also mean a
conversion for someone we care about. It might mean a new minister for
the Church. Ultimately, it might mean another saint in heaven.
None of that is up to us, however. What we can control is only whether
we share our faith joyfully and extend the invitation to others to
experience the peace that comes from knowing Christ.
The Joint Pastoral Council
will meet on January 18th at 6:30 P.M.
at Holy Trinity Parish Meeting room.

HIS Coffee Fundraiser: The Youth Ministry Program is
doing a fundraiser with the ―HIS Coffee‖ company out of
California. We kicked off this fundraiser at the Vendor/Craft
Fair by having samples available. We also had samples
available at Cookies and Carols and will continue to offer
samples now and then after mass in the breezeway. We
chose this company because it is a Christian company who
promotes ―Jesus, Coffee and Me.‖ It promotes making time
in your day for Jesus while you are having your
coffee. Please help support our Youth Ministry fundraiser by
making ―Jesus, Coffee, and Me‖ time in your day. It will not
only change your life, but you will be better equipped to be a
positive light to others and share the Gospel message of hope
in a world that needs it now more than ever. Keep in mind
that the price is marked up because it is a fundraiser and we
get $5 from every bag sold. Please visit the link for this
fundraiser at – https://www.missionfundraising.org/
fundraiser/profile/chs-funds-for-framily. If you have any
questions, please feel free to call Ann Simonson at
