Let's begin by saying THANK YOU to Fr. Ben Long for filling in for Fr. Michael
Long who was away Sunday.  Excellent sermon, as usual, and so polished in his
celebration of the Eucharist and conducting the service.  In case you missed it,  he
was traveling on 2 wheels.

 Regard the Church Prayer List---for additions, deletions, or corrections
contact Fr. Michael.

 MFISD vs. BCISD squared off in 2 ways last week--1st in collecting for the local
food pantries--L A Care in Burnet and the Helping Center in Marble Falls.  BCISD
lost to MF-they collected 2850 lbs. where MF collected 400 lbs. more.  Many thanks 
to both school districts.  And if you have not heard, Burnet 28 and Marble Falls-14.

******* The Pastoral Care Committee will meet in the Library with Fr. Long after 
the 10:30 service this coming Sunday, the 23rd. There will be time to grab a cup
of coffee.******

 Several members of the church:  Cecile Gloier,  Diane Hays, and Sherry Musgrove
are getting ready to have surgery--know that our prayers will be with you and for you-
God Bless Each of You.
