From Mark's Gospel we hear the final words Jesus spoke to his disciples shortly before he ascended into heaven. Those were words of commissioning, no less real for us today than they were to the disciples then. We are called to "proclaim the gospel to every creature." For the vast majority of us, this means that we proclaim the gospel by the witness of our everyday lives. Treating others with dignity and respect, providing for those less fortunate than ourselves, being good stewards of the many gifts showered on us, coming together as God's family in worship and praise--these are all signs that the gospel has taken root in our lives.

Padre Serra Parish Presents: “Trust, Faith, and Forgiveness in a Fearful World” Fr. Alexei Smith How can we trust others, strengthen our faith and forgive when we feel wronged? Many of us have experienced hurts and times of hopelessness. Fr. Alexei Smith, a Greek Catholic Priest and recipient of The Valley Interfaith Council’s prestigious Religious Leadership Award, will present ways in which we can use our faith foundation to find reconciliation with others and peace for ourselves. Fr. Smith will also touch upon the theological similarities and differences in dealing with these issues in different faith traditions, and show how the sharing of values and conversation can lead to trust, faith and forgiveness in the world we live in as well. Rt. Rev. Alexei Smith, a graduate of the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Boston and Los Angeles native, has served as the Ecumenical and Interreligious Officer for the Los Angeles Archdiocese since 2000. He currently serves on the Southern California Ecumenical Council. Fr. Smith is a frequent speaker at local interfaith venues.

Boy Scouts is open to boys between the ages of 10 and 18, and the scouting program emphasizes and reinforces the values that originate in our home, school and church. Camping, hiking and spending time in the outdoors teaches self-assurance, teamwork, organization and leadership skills. In addition to monthly outdoor activities, the troop participates in numerous community service projects throughout the year. Other activities like First Aid training, swimming, cooking, backpacking, kayaking, white water rafting and model rocketry build self-reliance and the confidence to handle challenges that cross the scout’s path. Individual scouts can also work on a wide range of merit badges focused on hobby and career skills on their way to rank advancements. This is a youth-run program with adult leaders to help with planning, direction and safety. Our senior scouts learn firsthand the challenges of leadership and work as mentors to the younger scouts. If you or your son would like to learn more about Boy Scouts but are unable to attend the May 20 Information and Activity Night, please contact Lloyd Brenner at (818) 991-0682 or by e-mail at tahoeblueflame@sbcglobal.net or Christie Oswald at (818) 620-3325 or by e-mail at ozzie007@aol.com.
