A warm welcome to St. Joseph’s this Sunday morning following Easter Sunday. As we move into spring, may all the events of Easter stay with us. May the Holy Spirit renew us and embolden us with what we have in God’s indescribable gift in Jesus Christ. And may God bless each of us in the coming week and have His vision to see ways we can be a blessing to others.

The Word of the Lord
For God so loved (your name) that He gave His one and only Son, that if (your name) believes in Him s⁄he shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Feeling Overwhelmed?
When the storms of life batter you, make sure your feet are planted on the solid rock of Jesus Christ. Do not despair, asking What am I going to do? Rather, ask What is God doing? and be assured—He is doing something. In Touch Daily Readings April 2019
