“Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.” Mark 3:35 One of the early Christian communities’ major struggles was determining who was in and who was out. Things haven’t changed very much! We are still challenged to open our doors, broaden our tent, and recognize our brothers and sisters. 2018 Page 5 Mass Lector Extraordinary Ministers Ushers Servers Saturday B. J. Marino/J. McCabe M.
