Today, the Church to celebrates the final journey of our Lord as He completes His earthly ministry. The joy that we feel in remembering His triumphant entry into Jerusalem will quickly turn to the extreme sorrow of commemorating His arrest, beating, crucifixion and death. Of course, we also have the benefit of knowing that His story does indeed end well. But, that is the subject of next week’s bulletin article. This week, we need to focus on the end of

Hey Y'all, I'm writing this week's bulletin message from Poland. The pictures look like many you'd see from any Church group on a mission trip- we're enjoying local hospitality, getting to visit cool places, and meeting interesting people. All afternoon and evening today we heard stories of war crimes witnessed by people who had just feed us sumptuously.

You might have heard it said that a picture is worth a 1000 words. Well, here are a lot fewer words from me and some pictures from the Confirmation Year 2 retreat! The Sacrament of Confirmation will be conferred on these young folks just a few weeks after Easter. Take it from me, these young men and women are fine! We need to encourage them with our words and prayers. Pray that as they receive the gift of the Holy Spirit

It is good that we are here! One of my favorite people in the New Testament is Peter. He reminds me so much of the people that I grew up with in New York. They were always ready with a comment, or an observation, or a complaint, or an opinion. Being quiet simply was not an option. Occasionally they might say something brilliant. Often, they said things that were offensive or just plain stupid. Peter fits that pattern perfectly. In Matthew’s Gospel,
