God of power and mercy,
you destroy war and put down earthly pride.
Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our tears,
that we may all deserve to be called your sons
and daughters.
Keep in your mercy those men and women
who have died in the cause of freedom
and bring them safely
into your kingdom of justice and peace.
We ask this though Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen. (USCCB)

In the Catholic Church, Pentecost is one of the great solemnities of the liturgical year and marks the close of the Easter season. It is the day the Church celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the first disciples gathered in Jerusalem. It is the moment when the fearful followers of Jesus were strengthened to proclaim the gospel boldly to the world.

The Wiregrass Emergency Pregnancy Services (WEPS) is having its annual Baby Bottle Campaign. Please take a baby bottle from the basket in the vestibule and fill it with change, bills, and checks, and then return it for collection. Your donations allow us to help mothers and their babies. Thank you for your generous support.

This Sunday kicks off our annual Baby Bottle Fundraiser. Thank you to our local churches who participate in hosting this fundraiser for us.
By filling these bottles you are helping serve our community with free, life-affirming services, including pregnancy testing, parenting education, along with maternity and baby supplies. This annual fundraiser also enables us to offer hope and healing to women and men by sharing the Gospel! Together, we can make a meaningful impact!
