God of power and might, wisdom and justice,
through You authority is rightly administered,
laws are enacted, and judgment is decreed.
Assist with Your Spirit of counsel and
fortitude, the President and other
government leaders of these United States.
May they always seek the ways of
righteousness, justice and mercy.
Grant that they may be enabled by your
powerful protection to lead our country with
honesty and integrity.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Respect Life: "Don't forget that He whom the whole universe cannot contain, was "hidden" in the womb
of the Holy Virgin for nine months. Once you realize this, you will be awe-filled for the double mystery
that God has confided to you: to conceive a human being made to God's image and likeness, and to give birth to him..." ~Alice von Hildebrand, Philosopher,
"Letter to a Young Girl"
We pray for all baptized Christians, may the Lord grant them the grace to live out their
baptismal call with renewed joy and to recognize within this call a need to respect all life from
conception to natural death.
Vintage Club (over 50's) will meet this Wednesday, January 18th at
Ding How in Wetumpka at noon. If you have any questions, call Judy Hayner at 334-857-2690.
Pray for Father Lynch The gift of your love in the form
of a card would be greatly appreciated by our former pastor. Father Francis Lynch

Sunday Reflection
January 15, 2017
“Now the Lord has spoken who formed me as his servant from the womb...” Isaiah 49:5
You have to do what God is calling you to do and I have to do what God is calling me to do. Guess
what, each of has been given a different plan!
So, stop comparing yourself to others. Don’t let envy and jealousy enter your life. Be thankful
for the gifts God has given you and generously share them with others.
Sunday Reflection
15 de enero de 2017
“"Y ahora ha hablado el Señor, que me formó como su sirviente desde el seno materno ..." Isaías 49:5
Tú tienes que hacer lo que Dios te está llamando a hacer y yo tengo que hacer lo que Dios me está llamando a hacer a mí. ¿Adivina qué?, ¡para cada uno hay un plan diferente! Por lo tanto, deja de
compararte con los demás. No dejes que la envidia y los celos entren en tu vida. Sé agradecido por los dones que Dios te ha dado y compártelos gener-
osamente con otros.

Memorial Service for the Unborn at Greenwood Cemetery

Join the Montgomery-area pro-life communi-ty as we come together, at the start of a new year and on the anniversary of the infamous Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion 44 years ago, to pray for
the unborn and an end to abortion. It is also a good time to personally reflect on what God is calling each of us to do for the protection
of the unborn. Several pro-life organizational representatives will be in attendance. Dr.
Matt Phillips, head of Life on Wheels, will be the Keynote speaker. Please join us and pass
this invitation along to others, as well
