6th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Brothers and sisters, whether you eat or drink, or whatev-

er you do, do everything for the glory of God.”

--1Corinthians 10:31

Do a quick check of your priorities. Where does God rank

in that list? If He’s not first, you have some work to do.

Putting God first in everything helps develop the attitude of

“ I am grateful for the gifts God gave me” instead of “I

want more”. For most people gratitude leads to generosity.

God's love must so permeate our motives that all we do

will be for His glory. Keep this as a guiding principle by

asking, "IS THIS ACTION THAT I AM DOING GLORY-

YING GOD?"OR "HOW CAN I HONOR GOD

THROUGH THIS ACTION?" We may be surprised how

often we will find that God hasn't even been considered.

2014 St. Boniface Cookbook The 2014 St. Boniface Cookbook is now in publication. It

is possible that they will be available for purchase this

weekend Nov 1-2. Be on the lookout for

them. The cost will be $10 per book. This will makes a

great Christmas gift!

Liturgical Ministry Schedule

The Parish Office will be closed

Monday, February 16 in observance

of Presidents Day and on Ash

Wednesday.

Ecumenical Dinner a Success

Thank you to all the wonderful people of St. Boniface

who worked so hard to make our Ecumenical dinner such

a success. There was so much work involved, from the set

up of the tables to setting the church back up. The church

looked beautiful, the food was delicious, the cleanup was

fast and thorough.

CCW MEGA YARD SALE

The money has been counted and CCW's MEGA YARD

SALE netted $4,255.46. CCW wishes to thank all those who

participated in any way: the people who donated and bought

items, helped with the setup and clean up of the Church and

helped with the placement and pricing of items. We also want

to thank all those men and women with muscles and trucks

who helped in numerous ways. We not only sold a lot of

"stuff" to benefit CCW's budget, but were also able to help

other groups and individuals with the following:

Habit for Humanity (Restore) filled their big truck with lefto-

ver items that they will sell in their store. Manna House-Our

parishioners took many truckloads of leftover items for Manna

House to sell in their Thrift Shop. Mary Mistak took the lefto-

ver books to the Effingham Humane Shelter for their upcom-

ing book sale. Lisa Ganser took the leftover picture frames to

use for a Vacation Bible School project.

Joe and Monica Bahm were given a big vase and some silk

flowers and greenery to be used in decorating the Church.

Youth Group-We gave them a leftover multi-game table for

them to use on their game nights. The Church kitchen-We put

some of the donated items in our Church kitchen. CCW Craft

Group-Some donated items were given to this group for crafts

that will be sold to benefit St. Boniface. Some of the new

items that were donated will be used for future CCW events

and activities. As you can see, your donations of time, talent

and treasure paid off in a big way now and will continue to

pay off in the future.

Thank you.

COMPASSION AND GENEROSITY

From the Desk of your Servant - Fr. Martino – Lent 2015

Theme: RECALL

RECALL NOTICE: The Maker/Creator of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured,

regardless of make, year and models due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the

heart. This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units, code named, Adam and Eve, resulting

in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been identified as "Sub-

sequential Internal Non- morality," more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.

Some of the symptoms include:

1. Loss of direction 2. Foul vocal emissions 3. Amnesia of origin 4. Lack of peace and

joy

5. Selfish or violent behavior 6. Depression or confusion 7. Fearfulness 8. Idolatry 9. Rebel-

lion

The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized re-

pair and service, free of charge, to correct this defect. The Insurer/Repair Technician, JESUS, has most

generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional

fee required. The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R. Once connected, please up-

load your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from

the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component. No matter how big or small the SIN defect is,

Jesus will replace it with:

1. Love 2. Joy 3. Peace 4. Patience 5. Kindness

6. Goodness 7. Faithfulness 8. Gentleness 9. Self- control

Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Best Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further

details on the use of these fixes.

WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer

warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list, and will result in the human

unit being permanently impounded. For free emergency service, call on Jesus. (Or call Fr. Martino 912-

754-7473)

DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the

furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that fa-

cility.

Thank you for your attention!

Your Maker/Creator - GOD

P.S. Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice!! Working for God

on earth doesn't pay much...but His retirement plan is out of this world!

Please see the other side for details of this RECALL – The Business hours of Certified Mechanics at

Saint Boniface Catholic Church!
