Fifth Sunday in Lent
Today’s Gospel is about refraining from judging other people. The spiritually strong among us leave God to do the
judgment. May we all learn to imitate the strong.
th
St. Francis Builds is planning a trip to Eastern North Carolina, June 23-30 to help with
rebuilding housing that was destroyed during Hurricanes Matthew and Florence. While we do
take some unskilled participants, for this trip, we are also especially in need of people with
specific carpentry/drywall/electrical and other specialty skills. Cost is $350 plus
transportation. Limited scholarships for a portion of the fee are available.
If you would like an application or additional information, please contact Beth Hood
at Bhood134@gmail.com.
1. Smile more! Smiling is an act of kindness as it makes other people around you happier, but it can also make you happier. Being
kind to yourself is also a good idea!
2. Send someone a care package. Nothing says "I am thinking of you" like a care package. Send one to a relative or friend who
lives far away filled with lots of their favorite things like home baked goods and feel good items that will brighten their day.
3. Get a reusable water bottle. Switching to a reusable water bottle, as well as reusable, environmental friendly lunch boxes and
other packages for your food is an easy way to cut down on waste and is very good for our planet.
Caution: When choosing kindness, positive side effects may occur, such as increased optimism, reduced stress, lowered anxiety,
and a tendency to make the world a better place. Check back each week for new suggestions!
