Coffee & Conversation

Because of the tragedy in Haiti, I am reposting this thank you note from Dorothy Pearce with links to her orphange for those of you who have been asking for information on worthy causes to support .  We have contributed to Faith Hope Love Infant Rescue for a number of years. 

Also, here is a link to Dorothy’s blog, detailing her experience throughout the earthquake and letting us know she and the children survived, a little battered, but ok.  http://dorothypearcehaiti.blogspot.com/

Here is the original post from October 14:

We regularly get thank you notes from people and organizations we have helped.   I wanted to share just one that we received today.  This is not to pat ourselves on the back or to rest on our laurels, but just a reminder of the impact our little church can have on the world far away from our lovely little island.

This note is from Dorothy Pearce and the Faith-Hope-Love-Infant Rescue which is part of the Christian Light Foundation.  The photo is of one little girl who was rescued.  Let’s pray Haiti gets through this hurricane season better than it did last year.  They are still suffering and still need our help.

If you click on the letter or photo it will take you to their website.

Father Marty gives us a preview of Mark 1-: 35-45 where Jesus deals with the sons of Zebedee, James and John, who ask for special treatment. In this Gospel, Jesus sets a whole new standard of what it means to be great.

This is a new song by Regina Spektor which has become a favorite of some of our church members.  We’ve had a few discussions about its meaning and we’d like to know what you think ab0ut it.  Click on the comment tab above and share your thoughts.  The imagery in the video is also interesting and symbolic.

Can’t wait to read your ideas!  Here’s the link to the music video:
