Easter Greetings! Alleluia, He is Risen. My name is Kathy Rentschler, your new Service Commission Chair. I am a nurse at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Lincoln and member of St. Michael’s church in Lincoln. I previously served as your LDCCW Recording Secretary. I look forward to serving you for the 2018-2020 term.
Thanks to all LDCCW members for their participation in the
Apostles for Life
. Apostles for Life is a support program by which an individual pledges to give $1 a month ($12 yearly) to assist in the work of Birthright, Inc. of Lincoln; Wellspring Pregnancy Center in Hastings; ABC Pregnancy Help Center of McCook and Hope Pregnancy Center of Superior. The money collected over the 2016-2018 term totaled $2,791 and was paid out to the Centers listed above following the 61 Biennial 2018 Convention. Again, thank you and please continue to annually support the Apostles for Life. The babies need your support!
Armed Forces Day
in the United States will be celebrated on Saturday May 19, 2018.
I encourage you to take time from your busy day, on the 19
th
, to pay tribute to and give thanks for all the men and women serving the United States’ armed forces.
Memorial Day,
a holiday for remembering the people who died while serving in the country’s armed forces. This year Memorial Day is on Monday, May 28, the last Monday in May. The holiday was held on May 30 from 1868 to 1970. Again take time out of your day to pray for the men and women that lost their lives while serving our country.
O Dearly beloved Word of God, teach me to be generous, to serve you as you deserve, to give without counting the cost, to fight without fretting at my wounds, to labor without seeking rest, to spend myself without looking for any reward other than that of knowing that I do Thy holy will. Amen.
