Last week we talked about the story of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus’ flight to Egypt, and why we might say “Jesus was a Refugee.” This Sunday we continue to think about our theme Gimme Shelter with the topic of migration more generally. We’ll be reading from the Book of Ruth. This week we’re also pleased to have Jean Marie Suchora, our pastoral care minister, leading our prayers.
Meanwhile Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus have been migrating from home to home among Leaside United hosts. Many factors to be considered for this family, like the need for adequate nourishment and the struggles of being homeless in extreme weather like we experienced in the last weeks with snow, freezing rain and extreme cold weather alerts.
If you would like to host the Holy Family this February during our month of exploring our theme “Gimme Shelter” contact Natalie Jahn. Check out their journey so far:
