Come Home Weekend

NEXT WEEKEND (April 2 & 3, 2011) is our Come Home Weekend- it’s a special weekend to welcome Home friends who have been away. As I mentioned in the homily today we have an awesome opportunity to be the one who “sends the message” and invites someone to come and hear Christ speak to their hearts. In many ways next weekend is what we as a parish family have been working toward together for the past five years – getting our home ready to be a place for everyone. As our “guests” come next weekend they will find not only our usual warm welcome, but for many it will be their first time to see our new parish centre, parking lot, accessible facilities and to know about our many ministries and groups. For each “guest” a special “Welcome Package” has been prepared for them to pick up. Everyone will also have a chance to check out our religious articles display, get tickets for our Good Friday Fish Fry and also learn about ways to get more involved in the parish community. Please pray about who you will invite. Please pray that many hearts will be touched.
