STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS Therefore, every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” Matthew 3:10 Do you bear good fruit for Christ? Or, do you spend your time, talent, and treasure constantly acquiring more toys, clutter and junk. Our time, our talent and our treasure are gifts that God has given us. What we do with them is our gift back to God. What gifts are you planning to give to the Lord during this upcoming Christmas season?

UPCOMING EVENTS THEOLOGY OF THE BODY
Three (3) Classes set on Monday, December 5, December 12, & December 19 (7:00pm—9:00pm) in Claretian Hall—B Parents, what do you tell your children when they ask you about sex and why the Church has strict rules about sexual behavior? You don’t have to wonder what to say to teens. The Theology of the Body gives you the reasons for our beliefs and makes sense of how we live out our sexuality.
Freedom to Love addresses critical questions, including:
What is the Theology of the Body and how can it change my life? What does it mean to live a life of freedom? What does love look like & how do I live it? How can I tell the difference between love and lust? Does contraception make me free? Does God have a plan for my future? The class is free – workbooks are available … and much more. Call (830) 837-3964 for more information.
Meeting/Rehearsal for
St John’s Christmas Pageant is scheduled on
Sunday, December 4th December 11th, and December 18th inside the Church. The pageant will take place on Dec 24th at 4:00pm.
Please contact Connie Ramirez at 512-757-0157 for more information.
