St. Martha’s Circle, which is the ministry that provides funeral receptions for our parishioners, is encouraging anyone interested in contributing items for our menu or their time as kitchen help to become part of the “Call Me List”.  You may be contacted to provide something for the menu from time to time as we get requests for receptions.  We are also looking for someone to fill a leadership role as we move forward.  This is a wonderful way to practice your faith and serve your parish.  Please email pam265@gmail.com and we would be delighted to add you to the list.

O Sweet Jesus, Saint Martha lived in Bethany with her brother and sister, Saints Lazarus and Mary.  She attended to Your physical needs while You rested and fellowshipped with good friends.  I ask her to pray for my gift of hospitality.  Teach me, dear Lord, how to truly welcome friends, family, and strangers.  Increase in me the same respect for them as I would give to You if You appeared in the flesh.  Give me a spirit of holy hospitality.  Saint Martha, pray for me.  Amen.
