Greetings in Christ Dear Friends!
This month we celebrate God's grace outpoured through so many tireless warriors for life, resulting in overturning Roe v. Wade's 50 year death-grip on America. Tune in to this week's radio program/podcast, "Roe to Revival: Where Do We Stand" with guest Jeff Barefoot. IGNITERadioLive.com
A few other great things:
Men. Beginning in Lent, February 22, so excited to be joined by a number of men in the Toledo area who are wanting more than a fleeting season. We're seeking to be anchored in solid, everyday spirituality that will impact our marriages, families and community. We're about building really great missioned friendships. Check out Pentecost365.us. This year we're incorporating a corresponding component for women. This duo-approach will be great!
Belief & Beverage Nights are now wonderful evenings with our monthly and substantial benefactors featuring amazing speaker-friends in our home. Our next is February 16, 7P, with a rising Hollywood star (and his wife) who encountered Jesus Christ and now exhibit courageous Catholicism. (GO) Please help us advance this mission. Become a monthly partner. (GO)
Live IT. Of course, our core (heart) is engaging missioned families in putting their flag in the sand -- making their homes places of ever-deepening encounter with Jesus Christ. Our key tool: The weekly Live IT Gathering. Over nine years running, the impact is decisive. See this week's Live IT TV episode by the Snavley Family on this Sunday's Gospel ("Beatitude Boy"). GO: ILoveMyFamily.us
We are so blessed to be united with you in mission!

GOSPEL | Matthew 5:1-12
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain,
and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
He began to teach them, saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you
and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.
Rejoice and be glad,
for your reward will be great in heaven."
