Are you looking for a way to serve Christ Bella Vista
MOPS is looking for caring and nurturing adults to
provide childcare during MOPS (Mothers of
Preschoolers) meetings. We meet every other Tuesday
morning from 8:30 am to 11:15 am. This program runs
through the school year and gives mothers and children
of all faiths a place to encourage family values, share
God's word, and support mothers and children through
fellowship. We appreciate volunteers but can give a
reasonable pay to those needing to justify the value of
your time and travel costs. Contact Julie Tighe at 616-
780-0654 for more details.
When there is a funeral scheduled, daily Mass
will be cancelled. You are invited to
attend the Funeral Mass instead.

Our Sacrificial Giving
We are the servants of God, each with his or her own
task. We will be judged good stewards if, at His coming,
He finds us ready and conscientiously pursuing the
tasks to which we have been called.
