Meeting Notes January

Brothers,

First, I want to say I am sorry for leaving during our meeting, Tuesday night.  For some of you, you have been made aware that my wife, Tracy, has two brothers, Rob and John Foster.  Long story short, John has been bed bound for the last 15 years. He had a form of MS that finally took over his body to the point where he could no longer use his legs and arms.  Monday, Hospice was notified and John's home was transformed to accommodate his last days.  He was a fighter and decided to cling to this earth until Wednesday afternoon.  At 2:20, with family surrounding John's bed and singing 70's music throughout the day, Rob Foster beautifully delivered a prayer from the heart and with that, John took his last breath.  

 So, prior to our meeting on Tuesday,  brother Knights that knew of my situation, provided support through words of encouragement and of their own personal experiences and I thank you!   To our council, thank you for your support, understanding and for your love.  You are truly men of God.  

God bless,

YBIC, Gary

Roses

Brothers,

The upcoming weekend we will need volunteers to pass out Roses for Life.  I will pass out roses on Saturday and anyone else that would like to assist is more than welcome.  We will need volunteers for Sunday morning at 8:00 and 10:30, too. Thank you Russell Rouse for taking care of Sacred Heart.  Also, January is the month the Knights serve coffee and snacks.  If you have never assisted in serving coffee and snacks, please consider helping.  Thank you and I look forward to seeing you at our meeting, Tuesday night.

YBiC,

Gary

I want to wish you and your family a blessed New Year

I want to wish you and your family a blessed New Year.  When I look back on the last 10 days, the Gray household has gone through Covid and a family member admitted to the hospital, but we know we are still very blessed in our health and love of God.  I also ask to pray for the soul of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. May almighty God bless us with his peace and strength, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen

Blessings,

Gary

Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.

Dear Brothers,

I wish for you and your family a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.   For those traveling, may our heavenly Father, whose glory fills the whole creation, and whose presence we find wherever we go: preserve those who travel; surround them with your loving care; protect them from every danger; and bring them in safety to their journey's end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Luke 2:10-14

10 The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.

11 For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.

12And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”

13And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying:

14^* “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

YBiC,

Gary
