Stewardship Moment: “No longer was there manna for the Israelites, who that year ate of the yield of the land of Canaan.” - Joshua 5:12 Over the forty years that the Israelites journeyed through the desert, God provided them with manna to eat. As soon as they were able to enjoy the fruits of the Promised Land the manna ceased. Likewise, God’s blessings to us may change over the years but it is important to trust that God will always provide us with all that we need.

Spring Cleaning list for St. Elizabeth is now posted in the supply room. I condensed it from years past. Hoping to have all cleaning done before Palm Sunday decorating. Please cross out and initial any duties members completed. Thank you in advance to all those who help in this process. Shelly Kurtz, President St Anne’s Altar Society.

The Sacred Sisters event is on April 12th at 10:00 at the Sacred Heart Parish Center.
Please come for a fun morning of friendship and inspiration, and bring a friend! Our theme this year is “If the Shoe Fits”, sometimes a challenge for us on our faith journey! The event is free, and we will have a motivational speaker, music, brunch and lots of laughter. Please RSVP by April 3rd to either Bernadine Anderson 653-5586 or Shelly Kurtz 653-5204.

Stewardship Moment: “He said to the gardener, ‘For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none.’” - Luke 13:7 We can all be like the barren fig tree at times. Do you cling to what you have, or do you generously share with others? How will you respond when God asks you what you have done with all the gifts He has given you? Remember, not only are we called to be generous; we are called to develop and nurture our gifts; and return them with increase. We are called to be generous with all of gifts; especially the one that means the most to you.

Stewardship Moment: “I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land as a possession.” - Genesis 15:7 Just as the Lord gave Abraham, Moses, and the Israelites a land to possess, He has also given each of us a home. Whether your home is grand or humble, it is a gift from God. Abraham prepared a great sacrifice to the Lord in gratitude for the home God gave him. How do you show your gratitude to God for the home He has given you? Do you make a sacrifice of any kind?
Do you return any of your finances to God, investing in your eternal home just as you invest in your earthly home?

Altar Society will be doing spring cleaning in St Elizabeth’s church starting April 1 through April 12. Each member can go in at their own convenience and clean an area. A list of areas and jobs to do, will be hanging in the cleaning supplies room. As you finish the task you have chosen, please mark off and sign. If you are a new member, please contact me or someone else and we can advise or clean with you. Thank you for your help with this. Shelly Kurtz, president altar society.
