THANK YOU FROM THE SALVATION ARMY

May 12, 2008

Dear Friends:

Spring is here! There may be a little cold weather yet, but in general the days will be warming up and the trees and flowers will be blooming.

We thank you for your donation of 30 bags of miscellaneous Food items for our Food Shelf. It is greatly appreciated by all of us and those in need.

This is a difficult time of many that have limited income and even more limited resources. During spring, the needs remain the same, but little money comes in. Your help meant more than you will ever know.

“Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code requirements for substantiation of charitable contributions, no gods or services were provided in return of the Tax Deductible contribution”.

Again, we thank you. Have a great spring!

God bless you!

Sincerely,

Major Rosemary Matson

THANK YOU FROM HARBOR HOUSE CRISIS SHELTERS

May 20, 2008

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Thank you for your generous donation to Harbor House Crisis Shelters Transitional Living Center. Your gift of $478.55 will help us reach our goal of $165,000. These funds will be used to purchase and renovate a Transitional Living Center for homeless families. Your partnership with HHCS is very important to us and to the community.

Your donation is well received. A mom who has used our Duluth Transitional Living Center told me, “This place has given me a chance to change things that I couldn’t. It has helped me so much. I feel like I am going to be okay. Thanks.”

We have had our offer to purchase accepted and will be able to be the proud owners of an apartment building within the next 30 days. You are making a difference in our community – thank you.

Sincerely,

Rev. Barbara Certa-Werner

Executive Director

WEEKLY MEDITATION

JUNE 1, 2008

9^TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Readings: Deuteronomy 11:18,26-28; Psalm 31; Romans 3:21-25,28; Matthew 7:21-27

“I call upon you, God, for you will answer me; bend your ear and hear my prayer.” (Psalm 17:6)

Our Gospel passage for today is the close of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus has just given his first followers a new way of life starting with the Beatitudes and in the chapters that followed. Now he reminds them that it will not be enough to just know the new rules, but they must live them in their daily lives. He recognizes that his Church will have both saints and sinners. All of them will be challenged to listen to his words, reflect on them, and then put them into practice in the world in which they live. No one can be complacent even if they can do wonderful things. St. Paul had to caution his early converts about the same thing. Later in Matthew’s Gospel, chapter 28, there is the scene of the last judgment. There Jesus blesses those who have done things for him, by serving others, even the poorest among them. He does not mention any of the spectacular gifts like prophecy, healing, or even speaking in tongues.

So the demand of today’s readings is that God has spoken, and we need to listen. Moses summarizes much of what he had been saying to the people and in a symbolic way tells them to make sure his words are a real part of their lives. He reminds them that they do have a choice: they can obey the commandments of God or not, but they will also have to live with the consequences. The author of the letter to the Romans reminds his people that God has revealed his plan of salvation in Jesus. Therefore they had to listen, make it a real part of their lives, and live it completely. It would not be easy for them in the world of that time.

Today, we must reflect on this same challenge. With the coming of Jesus, a real choice has been given to us. We can follow him, walk in his footsteps, to the cross and into the resurrection. Or we can choose to walk a different path leading us away from him. The choice is ours. He will never force us to follow him. However, he will always place his life before us and challenge us to say yes. How have you answered his challenge?

Question for Children: What teaching of Jesus do you find is most important for you to follow?

Questions for Youth: Jesus teaches that we will be judged by our actions. Do we do what we say we believe? If someone were to watch you, would they know that you are a follower of Jesus? What can you do differently this week to show your faith in your actions more fully to others?

Question for Adults: Share how you have, in the words of the Gospel, built your own house on rock. Or do you still need to do that?

“I have set before you life and death; choose life.” (Deuteronomy 30:19)
