Hello Knights, Mary Bunday with St. Clare's St. Vincent de Paul has reached to our Council for assistance. There is a family that needs furniture and another family that is donating furniture (Couch / Table / Chairs / End Table). They are looking for a volunteer with a truck and additional manpower to assist moving the furniture. Depending on the truck size, it will be a 1 or 2 load trip. Luckily, the 2 locations are near each other and our Council. Pick up location is near the Six Corners (Garden Home Rd & 62nd Pl.) and drop off is down the road near Gabriel Park on Vermont. If you are interesting in volunteering, please contact me letting me. They are flexible on the day / time. Once we have our volunteers, we will work this out. Sooner the better, with the understanding that moving this weekend with the heat may not be possible. Thank you, Marc Gregoire quantumtrek@gmail.com 503-757-0488

Hello Knights, We had a terrific discussion at the last KofC meeting on the book I Heard God Laugh , Part 1 - The Unexpected Life. This book is a guide to help us encounter God in a powerful way and to help us start a habit of daily prayer. We will be continuing our discussion at our next meeting (Tuesday June 15th) with Part 2 - My Spiritual Journey. For those that do not have the book, you can click HERE and download a scanned PDF of Part 2. Here are some possible discussion questions that have been recommended for you to think on as you read the second part: Question 1: When did your spiritual journey begin? Is there a moment when you encountered God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit in a powerful way? Think about it as a transformation in one’s life that redefines your mission or purpose. Share about your experience of conversion. Question 2: When was the last time, if ever, that you asked the question - God, what do you think I should do? Question 3: Matthew says that when God in...
