Thank you, we appreciate your support! 10 Years Strong | Living With Cancer Started in 2009, our Cancer prayer ministry has been a constantly changing and evolving ministry. What started out as a Living With Cancer Prayer Group ten years ago, soon progressed to a prayer and support ministry. We are here for cancer survivors, caregivers, family members and anyone whose life has been touched by cancer and who needs our prayers and support. We meet from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm on the first Wednesday of every month in the Lehner Center, Matthew room. Our group is uplifting; we read scripture and pray together, focusing on healing and trusting in God. After sharing our own updates, discussing nutrition and eating healthy food, we talk about family members and friends with illness that come to support our ministry with prayers and friendship. Cancer can be a lonely thing and sometimes talking to a friend helps. Cancer doesn’t discriminate, our group is open to all, whether in remission or recently diagnosed, a friend of someone, whether you are involved in our church or not, all are welcome. For more info contact Terri at 216.990.0082 or Miriam 330.225.9005. If you would like to share in our ministry or in a slice of cake, join us on April 3 as we celebrate our 10th anniversary. 2 Saint Ambrose Catholic Parish Letter from our Pastor • PARISH NEWS …”And he told them …While the Gospel speaks of trees and …Amanda McCrary and Lisa Beckett are this parable: "There trimming, a few months back I shared with a blessing beyond words to our parish once was a person you that we needed to cut down the trees community.
