Please Attend Holy Week services at your Church
By Fr. Tim Schenk
When you hear clergy strongly
encouraging you to attend the services of Holy Week, especially the Great Three
Days (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil), it’s not just because
they like to see more people in the pews, or it’s good for their egos, or they
want parishioners to see how much effort goes into these liturgies.
It’s because they believe in the death
and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the transforming power of the Christian
faith. It’s because they love you and want nothing more than for you to have
such a moving encounter with our Lord, that it will change your life. It’s an
invitation rooted in profound love, and a recognition that there is literally
nothing more important in the entire world than to participate fully as we
collectively journey from the Upper Room to Calvary to the Empty Tomb.
I hope you will join your local parish
a lot this week. And I bid you all a most blessed Holy Week.

The 5 best ways to make your yard pollinator friendly
1. Plant a diverse set of flowering plants. Diversifying the flowers in your
garden is the best way to support the most types of pollinators.
2. Add woody plants like trees and shrubs.
3. Grow native plants.
4. Minimize herbicide and insecticide use.
5. Mow remaining lawn infrequently.
