CLS EVENTS
LITURGY PLANNING MEETING
The meeting to plan November liturgies will be held on Thursday, October 17, 9:30, at the Riverwalk Community Room. Please join us! It's our combined ideas that create such meaningful liturgies! And it's fun!
And let Joanne or anyone on the liturgy committee know if you’d like to present a homily. All in CLS would love to hear your stories, your ideas, or your insights on favorite topics. Let us know, too, if you have an idea for an guest homilist.
