Sacred Heart Church has invited you to join the Meal Train for Laterese Restad.
 
What is a meal train?
There are times in our lives when friends and family ask, "What can I do to help out?" The answer is usually to help them with a meal. When many friends give a meal, this is a Meal Train.

mealtrain.com is a free meal calendar tool that makes planning meals among a wide group easy and less stressful.

Please share this email with others.
You can view the Meal Train by clicking here.

“Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.” -PHILIPPIANS 4:6

St. Paul reminds us that our God is an abundant God, the ultimate giver of gifts. He promises to give us all that we need. When we trust that God will take care of us, it is easier for us to share what we have been given.

The Joy of Kindness

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone.” -Philippians 4:4–5

Adults: What might John the Baptist challenge you to do differently in your life?
Kids: Do you have extras that you can share with others this week?

It was the day after Christmas 2014 at a church in Shawano. The pastor of the church was looking over the lawn when he noticed that the baby Jesus was missing from among the figures.  He hurried outside and saw a little boy with a red wagon and in the wagon was the figure of the little infant Jesus.

So he walked up to the boy and said, "Well, where did you get your passenger, my fine friend?"
 
The little boy replied, "I got Him at church."
 
"And why did you take Him?"
 
The boy explained, "Well, about a week before Christmas I prayed  to the little Lord Jesus and I told Him if He would bring me a red wagon for Christmas I would give Him a ride around the block in it."
