Respect Life Sunday

October 17 & 18

October 4, 2015
Whether it lasts for a brief moment or for a hundred
years, each of our lives is a good and perfect gift. At
every stage and in every circumstance, we are held
in existence by Gods love.
Our relationships on earth are meant to help us and
others grow in perfect love. We are meant to depend
on one another, serve each other in humility, and
walk together in times of suffering.
And elderly man whose health is quickly deteriorating; an unborn baby girl whose diagnosis indicates
she may not live very long; a little boy with Down
syndrome, a mother facing terminal cancereach
may have great difficulties and need assistance, but
each of their lives is a good and perfect gift.
Experiencing sufferingor watching another sufferis one of the hardest human experiences. But
we are not alone. Christ experienced suffering more
deeply than we can comprehend, and our own suffering can be meaningful when we unite it with His.
Jesus is with us every step of the way, giving us the
grace we need. God invites us to embrace the lives
we have been given, for a long as they are given.
Every life is worth living.

The St. Columba Fall Festival is right around the

corner, and we're looking for crafters and local
businesses to sell items in our Craft Village
on October 17th and 18th. Since the Fall Festival is
right before the holidays, it's the perfect way for
families to stock up on gift items.
We will also be giving our crafters shout-outs on
social media as well as advertising the businesses
who sign up before October 1st on our school website, in information being sent home about the festival, etc. Also, this year the festival will be opened
up to the Serra Mesa community in addition to our
church and school families.
Space rental fee for the weekend is $100 OR $50
with a Gift Basket Donation (valued at $50 - to be
included in our Spring Gala or Golf Tournament
silent auctions). This includes the space; however
you will need to provide your own table/set up.
If you know anyone who would be interested in an
opportunity to sell at the Fall Festival, or for more
information, please contact Danielle Simmons
at daniellecsimmons@gmail.com.
