BIBLE READINGS FOR THIS SUNDAY
Easter is NOT over! In our world’s eye, it is over. All the Easter candies are sold. All decorations have been taken down. The Easter bunny is gone. Easter is over until next year! But NOT for us who believe! The Easter mystery (which has absolutely NOTHING to do with candies, eggs, bunnies, etc…) is such an incredible event, that one day
Easter is NOT over! In our world’s eye, it is over. All the Easter candies are sold. All decorations have been taken down. The Easter bunny is gone. Easter is over until next year! But NOT for us who believe! The Easter mystery (which has absolutely NOTHING to do with candies, eggs, bunnies, etc…) is such an incredible event, that one day isn’t enough! We are given what is called the Octave of Easter - that is to say, 8 days of Easter. Then we enter into a Season of Easter that lasts for about 50 days ending on the Feast of Pentecost! We continue to reflect on, marvel about, and celebrate the fact that JESUS IS RISEN in a special way throughout this holy and amazing season!!! As we mentioned last week, the story did NOT end with the cross and death!!!
THE EASTER STORY DOES NOT END WITH TRAGEDY, VIOLENCE AND DEATH!
RATHER, WE KNOW HOW THE STORY ENDS!
AND SO WE CONTINUE TO CRY OUT WITH ALL THE FAITHFUL THROUGHOUT THE WORLD,
ALLELUIA!
ALLELUIA!
ALLELUIA!

Breaking the Bread of Food, Friendship, Faith and Love is what our mission is all about.
Our Ministries are rooted in the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy (see Matthew 25:35-36)
while grounded in the Christian Sacramental and Mystical Tradition.
As part of the Ministry Outreach with St. Miriam's Parish and the Ecumenical Order of Charity, the work we do includes officiating at weddings, celebrating Eucharist in people's homes or via Zoom, anointing the sick, house blessings, providing 'spiritual direction' and confession, performing baptisms, offering support to the hungry & needy in our midst, and breaking the bread of food and fellowship around our table.
Also, over the past several years, Bethlehem House Ministries has established some meaningful bonds with and have unofficially ’adopted‘ several young people from different countries in Africa who have no family support. We have provided (and continue to provide) for their basic needs of food, shelter, medical care as well as educational opportunities.
We have also provided similar aid locally to folks in need within our Tri-State area.
We have been blessed by generous individuals who have become members of our ‘village‘ supporting our work and mission. Without such support we would not be able to do all that we have done. We continue to be in need of such generosity as we carry on the task of breaking 'bread,' celebrating friendship, embracing gratitude & kindness and sharing the love and mercy of God with ALL!
