Seniors’ VOICE - March 2023
2023 - #1

************************************************************************

Our Mission: To provide adults over age 55 in our parish community opportunities for spiritual growth, social connection and cultural enrichment.

Greetings!!

After a long hiatus due to COVID reasons, We Are Back!!!

Many thanks to All who have indicated their desire to remain on our Roster of Members. Your Steering Committee is seeking to increase our membership; please invite all your friends to join us. Membership is open to all Seniors over 55 -- even if they do not belong to St. Paul the Apostle parish.

March 1st -- ‘How to Make a Violin’

Coordinator of this Event, Claudia Hinnebusch, reports that "How to Make a Violin", lecture/demo/performance by violinist Rebecca Rodman was a re"sounding" success. Attendees enjoyed hearing about violins and how they are made, as well as being able to hold components of a violin. The sandwiches and desserts served were yummy! We hope to have Becky present a "Part 2" sometime in the future, possibly as a "field trip" to her workshop in Pacific Palisades.

March 29 -- ‘What do You Really Believe’ -- Speaker: Claire Henning, D.Min.

[ St. Paul the Apostle, Multi-Purpose Room, 10:30am ]
It’s not too late to register for this Talk. Claire is an excellent speaker -- you would not want to miss her Talk. Send an email to cmdevera@gmail.com (preferred), or call Charlotte on her cell #310-351-9797.

Come, Holy Spirit!

Fill the hearts of your faithful
and enkindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your spirit and they shall be created And you shall renew the face of the earth.

Bring peace among your children throughout the world; give strength and healing to those who are ill;
grant peace to those who carry the burden of grief; help us to be bearers of your light, workers of your peace, and witnesses of your mercy.

AMEN.
