Welcome! Father Timothy!

Please extend a warm wel-come to Fr. Timothy Akanson, our new Parochial Vicar, who comes to us from the Archdio-cese of Tamale, Ghana. Please open your hearts and homes to him with true Southern Chris-tian Hospitality!

I n many cultures, it is customary to invoke blessings upon one’s

home on the Feast of the Epipha-ny. We invite the members of each parish household to offer this special prayer of blessing today for you and for your loved ones:

May God's peace be in this home and in the hearts of all who dwell within!

"Magi from the East came to Bethlehem

to adore the Lord; and opening their treasure chests,

they presented Him with precious gifts: gold for a great King,

incense for the true God, and myrrh in symbol of His burial."

Casper, Melchior and Balthassar

are the traditional names given to the Magi. Trace their initials on the lintel of the main entrance:

20 + C + M + B + 14

"Like the Magi, may we come before You, O Lord, in reverence and awe, offering to Your honor and glory, the gift of our life." "Sacred is the threshold of our home, and holy is this door! This is the meeting place of friends, neighbors, and strangers. May it be a bridge for our comings and goings. Whenever we stand within its sacred space, may our eyes be granted new vision, so that we can recognize the presence of Christ in everyone we greet.” "Lord, may this house be a dwelling of your peace and may your love radiate through its walls. Let our home be the shelter of health, purity and self-control. May we always cherish your precious gifts of charity, humility, goodness, mildness, patience and understanding as we share our lives together and grow in the spirit of your love.” “Dear Lord, may we seek to faithfully live in accord with your covenant that your promises be fulfilled in our midst. We ask this is the name of Your Son Jesus Christ who is Emmanuel, God-with-us, now and forever. Amen!”

PARISH SUPPORT OPTIONS In addition to traditional Envelopes

Online Giving allows parishioners to set-up a schedule of automatic contributions through electronic drafts from check-ing or saving accounts as well as credit cards. The parish office can assist you with the online set up or completely manage the set up if you would like automatic withdrawals but are not fa-miliar with the process. If you are 70 ½ years or older you must take a Required Mini-mum Distribution (RMD) from your IRA account. If you are con-cerned about additional income taxes you will be facing due to this distribution, an IRA charitable rollover gift to St. John The Beloved may be the answer. Speak with the administrator of your IRA Account or tax advisor on how you can take advantage of this IRS provision. Transferring stocks to St. John the Beloved can be a tax efficient way to fund your support of the parish. By transferring appreciated stock to St. John the Beloved instead of donating cash, you can take a charitable deduction for the current value of the stock without paying taxes on any of its appreciation during the period of your ownership. The process is simple, contact the parish office at 873-0631 for transfer instructions.
