- QUESTIONS OF THE
WEEK
- Second Sunday
of Easter
-
- In the giving of the Holy
Spirit, Jesus passes to us a particular grace for reconciliation.
In the second appearance with Thomas, Jesus is an example of
this power of forgiveness as Thomas’ lack of faith is strengthened
and expanded.
- Adults: What personal experience of forgiveness
strengthened my confidence in the gift of the Holy Spirit?
Children: How can I be a peacemaker among my friends?
CATHOLIC HOME MISSION APPEAL
Collection April 24/25
The Archdiocese of Anchorage has 11,500 registered
Catholic families, 140,000 square miles, and only 30 active diocesan
priests. Sadly, such shortages occur often in United States mission
dioceses. The Catholic Home Missions Appeal supports religious
education and seminary training to bring increased pastoral care
to our home mission parishes. Please give generous in next week’s
Appeal. Use envelopes by the bulletin boards in church or from
your church support packet.
BAPTISM
We welcome with great joy Luca Rosas-Clouse,

- LITURGY BITS AND BYTES
The word Eucharist
Probably you have heard that the
word eucharist means thanksgiving. Gratitude is an attitude which
can be learned, a habit which can be practiced and developed.
As we grow in developing a grateful heart in our daily lives,
gathering as the Body of Christ to worship God, gives natural
expression to our being a people of thanksgiving. We come together
to “do Eucharist,” to give praise and thanks to God.

News from the
Peace and Justice Committee - Composting is now starting
here at Christ the King. Did you know a lot of kitchen waste,
including napkins, does not need to be put in the trash? Food
scraps from greens and fruits, paper products, and even grass
clippings will be saved in our new compost bins outside. We will
combine these wastes with dirt to create nutritious new soil.
Parishioners will be involved in saving waste, turning over the
future soil in the bins, and possibly bringing their material
here if they are unable to compost where they live. Look for
our compost bins outside and consider how you can participate
at your living space. For more information, including information
on indoor composting, contact Kip Rondy- krondy@verizon.net
