The Board of Directors approved commissioning Sondra to cast the statue only after we had obtained 50% of the funding required to complete the area that housed the statue and the expense involved with the statue itself. With the statue being approved and the foundry beginning the bronze casting, we needed a contractor that would come to the site chosen and craft something that would place the statue in the setting we envisioned, so that our visitors would see and immediately be awestruck with the total beauty of this newest addition to our grounds. 2 3 Queen of Peace_38681.indd 2 8/22/19 10:23 AM.

Using the Matriarch & Patriarch Family Tree Pictures page, cut out one set of character pictures and glue or tape them on the family tree in the correct place.

Abraham and his wife Sarah left their home to come to the land of Canaan to build a home for his children, grandchildren and future family members. Sarah- As the wife of Abraham, she left her home to help make a home for the Jewish people. Sarah gave birth to Isaac when she was old. Isaac- As son of Abraham and Sarah, Isaac led the Jewish people, after Abraham. Isaac and his wife Rebecca had twin sons, Jacob and Esau. Rebecca- Rebecca showed kindness by helping Isaac’s servant. She had twin sons, Jacob and Esau. Esau was strong and enjoyed hunting. Jacob stayed indoors helping with house chores. Rebecca thought Jacob should be the next leader of the Jewish people, even though it was Esau’s right as the older son. Rebecca helped Jacob trick Isaac. Isaac blessed Jacob instead of Esau and Jacob became the next leader. Jacob- Jacob was the clever, younger son of Isaac and Rebecca. With the help of his mother, Jacob became the next leader of the Jewish people.

    Connecting with God – Jonah 3:1-5,10 – January 24, 2021 Rev. Rachel A. Wann When we hear the name Jonah, if we remember anything at all, we know that there is a story about Jonah surviving in the belly of a whale for three days. But most of us probably don’t remember much more than that. It’s actually a pretty funny story about a very reluctant prophet. Jonah was called by God to do a task. God instructed him to go to Nineveh as a prophet and speak God’s message to the people – that God was not happy with them and was on the verge of destroying them. Nineveh was a horribly corrupt city, and frankly, Jonah didn’t want to go. He did not like the work that God had called him to do, so he decided to run away – in the opposite direction. When he got to the sea, he boarded a boat to take him even further away. Well, a deadly storm overtook them, and the seasoned sailors grew quite afraid. They began praying to their gods for deliverance. Jonah realized the storm was probably God’s response to him running away, so he told the sailors to toss him overboard. They prayed to the God of Israel, not wanting to hurt Jonah, but he finally convinced them to do so. And as soon as they did, the storm stopped. But then a large fish swallowed Jonah whole, and he lived inside its belly for three days. While there Jonah prayed to God to save him, and eventually the fish spit him out onto dry land.

    The Gospel according to MARK: a personal view Owen O’Sullivan OFM Cap. 1 © Owen O’Sullivan OFM Cap., 2007. 2 The Gospel according to MARK: a personal view Contents Page Preface iv Sources used v Introduction 1 Main Text 6 3 Preface I was stationed in the Catholic parish of Christ the Redeemer, in Lagmore, West Belfast, Northern Ireland, between 2001 and 2007. When the liturgical year 2005-06 began on the first Sunday of Advent, 27 November 2005, with the Gospel of Mark as the Sunday Gospel, I decided to begin a study of it, in order to learn more about it and understand it better, and, hopefully, to be able to preach better on it at Sunday Mass. I also hoped that this study would be of benefit to me in my faith. It was never on my mind, then or now, that it be published. It is not good enough for that. I have had no formal training in scripture studies, other than what I learned in preparing for the priesthood. Mostly, it has been a matter of what I learned in later years from reflection in daily prayer and personal study, of which I did a good deal. It took me more than a year to complete the study of Mark, but I found that it carried me along, and I wanted to bring it to completion. I was glad to be able to do that early in 2007. The finished product I printed and bound principally for my own use, simply to make it 4 easier to refer to for study or preaching.

There are many ways to get involved. If you have any questions, please let one of our staff members know or call the parish office 253-630-0701 MISSION STATEMENT The Catholic Community of St. John the Baptist: Where stewardship is a way of life and the diversity of our gifts is used to answer Christ’s call to proclaim and live the Gospel. Gather in God’s Name, Grow in God’s Time, Go in God’s Spirit FROM YOUR PASTOR Some have asked what I like to do in my free time. I enjoy puttering around the house. Like your previous two pastors, I own my own residence. There is always something to do: something to clean or something to repair or improve. Last week I washed the windows, inside and out. As I was washing the upstairs windows I noticed that the gutters needed cleaning. After that the side walk and driveways needed washing off. The windows were rather dirty. On those wonderful sun- ny days, as rays of light shown through the glass, the dirt was much more obvious. So to in our faith lives. As we draw closer to God we become more aware of sin in our lives. Some of the greatest saints thought they were the biggest sinners. You could say awareness of sin is a good sign. If we were not close to God we would not be attentive to sin (unless you are just plain scrupulous and that’s another issue).
