BREAKFASTSATE
I begin with the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, 'Give and it will be gven to you ......,....a good measure, pressed down, shaken
together and ruunning over....for with the measure you use, it will be measured to you".(Lk 6:38). Ihe benefii of serving others
isnotjusttrueofindividualswhomlnister. lt'strueofchurcheswhoembraceminlstryaswell. Focusingontheneedsoipeople
outside our walls makes us happier inside these walls. Growing, happy churches are churches that look outward to the needi of
the community and world around them. Their grace driven maturity draws lost people and the church experiences numerical
growth.

NOSALE
Thank you so much for supporting our weekly breakfast sale
in aid of our building fund.
But you know for churches that don't serve others, the result isjust the opposite. George Barna says; -Churches usually die
ftom inside out. Oeath is largely due to an inward focus, rather than an outward concern, Churches tlpt grow are focused on
addressing the needs of the have-nots in the world......whether what they did not have was a relationship with Jesus Christ,
physical health, emotional wholeness or rather desired aspects. Growing churches were not content to let missions support
simply relate to the givint of money."
COME AND BE RECONCITED
For those who missed the confession at our parish on
3 Dec. , can still meet Fr. before the weekday Mass at
6.3opm in Church.
Proceeds from the sale will go towards the SFA building fund.

are always in need of an extra set of hands

The hospital missions that we have embarked was a good sign of evangelization, People are coming to know that we christians
are close to the broken. hearted. , During our recent visit to HKL (17 Dec), there was this Muslim mother who requested us to
pray for the sick child who was terminally sick. Though it is a very sensitive arda, nevertheless the,matron of the hospital gave
us the permission to pny foi the sick child. Gathered around at one corner we prayed for.the child. we gave hope that her

God-giveh human life is God's own property; it is

beginnings an unborn human being is a separate
person, and no one can infringe upon his rights, not
the State, not the doctor, and not even the mother.
Aborting a 'handicapped' child is atways a serious
crime, even if it is done with the intention of sparing
that person suffering later onThe Church's clarity
about this is not a lack of compassion; she means,
rather, to point out the irreparabte harm that is
inflicted on the chitd who is kil.ted in abortion and on
his parents and on society as a whole.
