There's work to do, deadlines to meet;
You've got no time to spare
But as you hurry and scurry
ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER!

The aged, sick and handicapped prayers from can be a powerful instrument for the work of God's grace. Many souls have been saved through the faithful prayer of those who are homebound.

I am not ordained; my hands have not been anointed with holy oil, but I am Church.

I do not belong to a religious order; I have not taken any religious vows, but I am Church.

I am a Eucharistic Minister; I take Eucharist to the homebound. I am Church.

I greet people, I show them where to sit. I proclaim the Word at liturgies; I sing joyfully. I am Church.

I cook meals for the homeless; I prepare holiday baskets; I use the Gifting Tree.          I am Church.

I work for justice; I teach the Word to young and old; I work with youth to help those less fortunate. I am Church.

I am diverse; I represent all ages; I have limited time, but I wish to serve and truly experience community. I am Church.

I celebrate, commiserate. I plan and organize. I am a minister in the truest sense. I minister in countless ways, and in return I amvastly nourished and reap blessings beyond belief. I am Church.

 I am a Minister. I am Church.

Prayer is an aspiration of the heart, it is a simple glance directed toward heaven,
it is a cry of gratitude and love in the midst of trial as well as joy.
(Saint Therese of Lisieux)
