OUTREACH Now that we have witnessed the glo-ry of God at Easter, what is YOUR plan to be God’s agent here on
Earth? The Kingdom of God is all around us; He only asks that we respect and care for all of our “neighbors”. So, what little things will YOU do...poor box?...box of cereal?....can of chicken?...Help at Habitat 21 April? ”Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, com-mitted citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” (Margaret Mead)
