From chaos and emptiness,
From loneliness and lifelessness,
Come, Creator, Come.
From darkness and shapelessness,
From the abyss and awfulness,
Come, Creator, Come.
From fearfulness and hopelessness,
From weakness and dreadfulness,
Come, Creator, Come.
~Celtic Prayer

Nothing is more practical than
finding God, than
falling in Love
in a quite absolute, final way.
What you are in love with,
what seizes your imagination, will affect everything.
It will decide
what will get you out of bed in the morning,
what you do with your evenings,
how you spend your weekends,
what you read, whom you know,
what breaks your heart,
and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.
Fall in Love, stay in love,
and it will decide everything.
~Attributed to Fr. Pedro Arrupe, SJ

Our youth will hold soup pots at the church’s doors on Souper Bowl of Caring Sunday, February 5, 2012. They will join young people in churches across the country to collect money and canned foods for those who are hungry and hurting. All of the money collected is donated to a charity selected by the participant – none of the money is sent to the Souper Bowl of Caring headquarters. Organizers only ask that each participant report their collection so national totals can be determined and announced. Since the Souper Bowl of Caring began in 1990, more than $71 million has gone to help people in need. Please support the youth of our church in this effort to “love our neighbors” by dropping your dollar in the soup pot on February 5th.
Nuestros jóvenes tendrán ollas de sopa a las puertas de la iglesia el domingo de Souper Bowl de Caridad, el domingo 5 de febrero de 2012. Se unirán con otros jóvenes en iglesias a través del pais para colectar dinero y comida enlatada para aquellos en necesidad. Todo el dinero colectado es donado a la organización benéfica elegida por el participante – nada es enviado a la oficina central de Souper Bowl de Caridad. Los organizadores solo piden que cada participante reporte su colección para que los totales nacionales puedan ser determinados y anunciados. Desde que el Souper Bowl de Caridad comenzó en 1990, máas de $71 millones ha sido recaudado para ayudar personas en necesidad. Por favor apoyen los jóvenes de nuestra iglesia en este esfuerzo para “amar a nuestros vecinos” por medio de donar un dólar en las ollas de sopa el 5 de febrero.
