My Brothers and Sisters
In observing June as Men’s month, the intention is to focus on our men and invite those who have not been attending church to return and be actively involved in the church's ministry. It is also to recognize the importance of our men in the church's life and its future growth. A study done in Switzerland in 2000 concluded that the religious practice of the father of the family determines the future attendance at, or absence from, church by the children.
If a father does not go to church, no matter how faithful his wife’s devotions, only one child in 50 will become a regular worshipper. If a father does go regularly, regardless of the practice of the mother, between two-thirds and three-quarters of their children will become churchgoers (regular and irregular). If a father goes but irregularly to church, regardless of his wife’s devotion, between half and two-thirds of their offspring will attend church regularly or occasionally.
A study from Hartford Seminary found that involved men are statistically correlated with church growth, health and harmony. Lack of male participation is associated with congregational decline. Let me therefore invite the men to exhibit an abiding faith, sacrificial love, and commitment in the life of the church and be a positive influence for others, especially young men and boys, so that they may commit themselves to the service of Christ and his Church. Men, the Lord is depending on us to grow the church.
I ask your prayers for a speedy recovery after surgery.

Easter reminds us we are God’s family - called to love, support, and care for one another, especially our homebound brothers and sisters.
Christ’s resurrection is a present reality offering life, hope, and faith today, calling the Church to embrace change, inclusivity, and inspire hope through faithful leadership.
Easter celebrates Christ’s resurrection, bringing salvation and hope, and calls us to live out our faith by spreading love, justice, and transformation in the world.
Palm Sunday reminds us Jesus came in humility, not power. True greatness is serving others - follow Him, surrender pride, and walk in love.
God brings life to hopeless situations. Trusting the Spirit leads to peace, renewal, and hope, even in life’s lowest moments.
Laetare Sunday pauses Lent to rejoice in hope and light. It reminds us of Christ’s coming resurrection and calls the Church to nurture faith with compassion.
God provides living water through Jesus Christ. Those who come to Jesus and believe in Him will have their spiritual thirst satisfied and receive eternal life.
God’s love, shown in Jesus, offers eternal life and calls us to love God and one another as we journey through the Lenten season.
Lent is a 40-day season of preparation, repentance, and renewal, rooted in early Church practice, calling Christians to self-reflection, baptismal readiness, and almsgiving.
Looking to God, not the mountains, we find help. In silence and solitude, we feel God’s love and are shaped to live love over power.
