2018 Ministry Booklet
Stewardship PrayerFather, Son, and Holy Spirit: As we look deep within ourselves and discover the many gifts and talents You have given us, direct our lives in a way which best allow us to steward these gifts.
Give us the courage to confirm in others the talents and giftedness they possess. May we never forget, as each one of us has received a gift, we are to use it to serve one another as good stewards of Your varied grace.
In this way, we are stewarding our gifts for Your honor and glory and not for ourselves. Amen. -

RESCHEDULED ACTS MEN'S RETREAT
Unfortunately, Hurricane Florence interrupted the plans for the first-ever ACTS Men's Retreat at OLL last weekend, but luckily we were able to get the last weekend open at Camp Kinard for this year to reschedule the ACTS Men's Retreat for the weekend of December 6th-9th. Fortunately, this date worked on the church calendar as well as for the ACTS Men's Retreat Team coming from Texas. The retreat team is also bringing their own priest so the men on the retreat will have Mass for First Friday and the Holy Day of Obligation (Immactulate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary) on Saturday that weekend!
Hope all men (21 years and older) will be able to attend this truly AWESOME Retreat (ask any of the women who attended the ACTS Women's Retreat this past August).
For more information on the ACTS Retreats at Our Lady of the Lake email ololacts@gmail.com or contact Stella Kasten, 803.924.6098 or Jerry Mortus, 832.571.7546.
