Sunday Psalm

Ps 138:1-2, 2-3, 4-5, 7-8

In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord.
I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with all my heart,
for you have heard the words of my mouth;
in the presence of the angels I will sing your praise;
I will worship at your holy temple
and give thanks to your name.
In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord.
Because of your kindness and your truth;
for you have made great above all things
your name and your promise.

When I called, you answered me;
you built up strength within me.
In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord.
All the kings of the earth shall give thanks to you, O LORD,
when they hear the words of your mouth;
and they shall sing of the ways of the LORD:
“Great is the glory of the LORD.”
In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord.
Your right hand saves me.
The LORD will complete what he has done for me;
your kindness, O LORD, endures forever;
forsake not the work of your hands.
In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord.

The Archdiocesan Catholic Charities’ Annual is being conducted in all parishes of the Archdiocese the weekend of February 13 and 14. A letter was mailed to your home asking you to support this worthy cause. You can contribute by mailing the envelope to Catholic Charities or by putting it into the parish collection basket and we will forward your donation to Catholic Charities. Please be as generous as you can.

Youth Ministry News

Last weekend we had four teen parishioners participate in the Cedar Rapids Quest Retreat, held at LaSalle Middle School. Tasha Redmond and Austin Swantz volunteered as team leaders, while Ben Koffron and Kindra Ockenfels were participants. Quest is an area wide retreat for freshman and sophomore students. It is a chance get away from the regular routine, meet new people, and talk about important life and faith issues. We are very happy that we had students represent St. John’s Parish, and hope more will be able to participate next year.

Building Project Up-date

As parishioners have noticed, the church renovation process began the week of January 11th. The opening meeting with architect John Mahon, representatives from McComas-Lacina and the owners has taken place. Builders risk insurance has been obtained. Pictures of the ground breaking ceremony are posted in the church lobby. General Chairs met in mid December to get an update on the capital campaign and pledges after nine months. Parish offices have been moved. Rectory storage has been consolidated. Steve Noll will represent us at the construction site as necessary. Plans are in place for moving the piano and organ. The Project Commission will meet next on January 28th. Still no definite word on when we may moving Mass to the basement. Contact Tom Wieseler at 895-6850 with any questions.
