This week in RCIA we have a special treat. Mike Sweeney will take us on a visual pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Mike will share photographs and stories
of his trip to the Holy Land. They say a pilgrimage to the Holy Land is the "5th Gospel" because it brings the other four Gospels to life. We will see where Jesus walked and taught. Places mentioned in the Bible will come alive. RCIA meets on Tuesday evenings at 6:45 pm in the church parlor. It's free, childcare is provided, we have a lot of fun as we learn our wonderful Catholic faith, and we always have something good to eat. RCIA stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and it’s a journey of exploration and initiation into the Catholic Church RCIA is a fun, safe, faith-building discovery of Jesus Christ and the Church He started. RCIA will change your life. It will bring you closer to Jesus. Is God calling you? The Catholic Church welcomes you! If you are interested in RCIA, all you have to do is send an email to me at [email protected] for more information.

Helping Hands of
Midland 1301 Brinson Lane
(432) 520-8900
While we are still pretty short on volunteers in all areas of the store, there are a few key areas where we are in critical need of help. These positions are part time, probably only a day or two each week for just a half day (depending on your schedule). They are: SPANISH SPEAKING CASEWORKER. Presently none of our caseworkers are fluent in Spanish and yet we get calls each week on our helpline from people who speak no English. We would very much like to help those families if they have a legitimate need, but we have to have someone who can communicate with them. This would involve meeting with those clients at Helping Hands anytime Monday through Saturday between 8 am and 2 pm. We would train you on how to meet with and assist these people. ELECTRONICS. Sam does a great job in checking out our electronics, however he also works and so his time here is very limited. He would very much like to have someone that he could train to keep up with the electronics that we get in the store. Best times to do that would be mornings, any day (s) Monday through Friday. HANDYMAN. We are always in need of a Mr. Fix-It who can keep with normal maintenance and wear and tear of our facility (changing out fluorescent light bulbs, etc.). We would probably only need the help for a few hours a few days each week. TRUCK DRIVER. While we still are not doing active pickups, we could use someone skilled in driving a truck with trailer and using a forklift. Again, probably just once or twice a week for ½ day each time, Monday through Friday. Of course we still need help in all areas, such as sorting and hanging clothes, working in our housewares, toys, books and shoes departments and even doing clerical work, such as making and filing folders for our cases. All of these jobs can be done at your convenience within the very loose parameters. If you might be interested in any of these positions, or have questions, please call Mary at (432) 528-6265 anytime. We would love to have you!
