work. If you are able to help out at either for a couple of
hours we would love to have you join us!

HEALTH MINISTRY TIP: Fruits and vegetables make
the perfect “grab and go” food, since most fruits and many
vegetables, like carrots, celery, and bags of pre-washed
snap peas need no preparation.
ADVANCE NOTICE: Ash Wednesday is March 5th
which is the beginning of the Easter season. In order to
offer our Lenten fish fries this year, we need a volunteer
to head them. Kriston Galish needs to step down due to
taking on a full time job but is willing to help get you
started. Last year we profited $22,542.67 from this fund-
raiser. That’s a lot of money for a 6 week project. You
can even team up with another person to head them. If
interested, please call the rectory (947-3363).

I Must Go Over to Look at This
Remarkable Sight - In today’s
first reading, Moses, while tend-
ing the flocks of his father-in-law,
happens upon a bush which is
burning, but which is not con-
sumed. Moses’ reaction is to go
over to look at this remarkable sight, which he does.
However, the Lord, in speaking from the burning bush,
wants him to do more than look. Instead, God reveals
himself to Moses and calls Moses to lead His people out
of slavery in Egypt. While Moses has some reservations,
he says yes to God and works to lead his people to free-
dom. Like Moses, the Lord wants us to do more than
look at Him or at His Church. The Lord wants us to be
engaged with Him. Faith is not a passive endeavor.
Faith is an active engagement with God in the commu-
nity of the church. It is easy to look at the Church and
say, “I like this” or, “I do not like that” and then do noth-
ing about it. It takes effort to get involved to be an in-
strument of Jesus’ life in the Church. As we continue our
Lenten journey may we be renewed not only to see God
better, but to embrace most fully his will. Visit onmis-
sionchurchalive.org to learn more and to stay informed.
LENTEN REFLECTIONS: Are you looking for a
quick and easy way to enhance your experience of Lent?
Check out our parish grouping’s website! The home
page now offers brief reflections by Bishop Robert Bar-
ron that will be updated daily throughout the Lenten sea-
son.
