We are now at the 5th weekend in the Easter season and at the end of April. Just as the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd is an image all of us can relate to, even our children, the parable of vine and vine grower is also an image of our faith that is easy to understand. In a modern world with technology that allows us to function without a lot of face-to-face contact with others, many do not think they need a community of faith in order to be a Christian, that they can do it on their own. However, just as we are connected to God the Son and God the Father in our life of discipleship, we also are intrinsically connected to the community as well. We are called to contribute to the community and to be a part of the community in many different aspects. Perhaps that is something we can reflect upon during the Easter season.
As we wind down our religious education program for the year, I give thanks for all the men and women who have volunteered this year as catechists and teachers to teach and form our children, youth, and adults in the faith. I give thanks to Tammy Threadgill and Christ Halliwell for their leadership in our religious education program. We are very grateful for the contributions they all make to our parish. Blessings to all of you. Father Lincoln.
