Divine Mercy Sunday

Weekly Readings

BLACK BAG COLLECTION TODAY Sunday, April 3

How does fear prevent you from speaking of Gods mercy to

others and forgiving people who offend you? The first evening of
the Resurrection, Jesus appeared to the frightened disciples who
had locked themselves in the upper room. The disciples rejoiced
when they recognized the Lord. Peace be with you I send you
to forgive. How can you make present Gods love and forgiveness
to others?

Our Black Bag Collection today will

benefit Casa Marianella, an emergency
shelter serving immigrants and refugees
originally started by the Diocese of Austin.
To learn more, visit casamarianella.org.

Congratulations to our new members!

More UCC News & Events

Tent of Nations is surrounded on three sides by Israeli settlements

and on one side by the Palestinian village of Nahalin. With a
mission to build bridges of understanding, reconciliation, and
peace between people and the land, Tent of Nations has a sign at
the entrance to the farm proclaiming, We Refuse to Be Enemies.
Nassar will discuss Tent of Nations, the Israeli occupation and
process of land confiscations, including the attempts at taking his
familys farm, and the journey of his family since 1916 as they have
sought to live creatively in the midst of an increasingly violent
situation.
This event will be held at St. Austin Parishs Hecker Hall on
Saturday, April 9th at 10:00 am. For more information, please
