Fr. Hien's Weekly Letter

My Dear Parishioners,
     Are you ready for Autumn?  This Thursday, September 27th is the beginning of Autumn and yes, it’s one of my favorite times of the year.  Autumn, I like the cooler weather and the changing colors in the leaves.  Also, deer season will begin so I can be out in nature more often.  Please know that God loves you and God will always be good to you, day or night, in peace or at war, summer or winter, fall or spring.  In God there is no time and no limit of His eternal love for all of us, born and to be born, healthy or sick, free or imprisoned.  Let us always trust in God and love Him today with our love for Him in nature and in one another.     
     Again, a special thank you to all those who helped our parish by removing the old carpet in church as well as those who helped install the new vinyl.  I was amazed how much work we got done together.  Our church looks much brighter and nicer because of your hard work.  The old carpet in our church has been there so long and it was long overdue, perhaps 10 years ago.  Due to age, most areas were discolored and faded with many cracks due to ground settlement.  For many of these reasons, years ago, carpet was installed on the altar and in the aisles.  The carpet in the foyer was installed when the new addition was built and that was in the late 90’s. FYI: https://floorstoyourhome.com/ is where we purchased our Shaw, luxury vinyl plank loose lay for our church.
     As a church family, let us continue to work together to improve our church and facilities, one day at a time and one project at a time.  Thank you on behalf of everyone from our church family, thank you for your prayer and support for our church.  If you would like to donate to this project, please memo your check or envelope as “church flooring.”  Love you all, Fr. Hien
