Monthly Evening Vespers will be offered April 21st, 7:00 pm in church. Following Vespers, our speaker will be Chuck Neff, a veteran broadcast journalist, about being called by God in all the circumstances of our life. Chuck will use John 15:16 and ‘…it was not you who chose me, but I who chose you…’ to reflect on saying ‘yes’ to God’s grace in our life. We will be distributing Chuck’s latest book, ”The Deal”, to everyone attending. The story chronicles a challenging, two-day encounter between two old friends. One, a husband looking for a way out of his crumbling marriage. The other, a Catholic priest reminding his friend that the promises he made on his wedding day were “forever, not 16 years or whatever might come first.”
Chuck has worked as a Show Host of The Inner LifeTM on Relevant Radio,® a national Catholic radio network airing in more than 170 markets. A graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, he has worked in radio and television as a news reporter in Chicago, Denver, St. Louis, and Terre Haute, Indiana. Over his career Chuck and his production company have been awarded 15 regional Emmys. He hasalso received dozens of other national and regional awards for outstanding programming. In 1999, he coordinated the worldwide television pool coverage for the Pastoral Visit of Saint John Paul II to the Archdiocese of Saint Louis.
The service and speaker will also be livestreamed on SGM’s YouTube channel. Confession will be offered during the evening, starting at 7:00 pm. Join fellow parishioners in prayer, and hear our outstanding speaker reflecting on a topic relevant to all of us: saying “yes” to God’s call!
