Pastor’s Corner
Wherever we are in this world we always witness the reality of the existence of rich and poor
people. Even in the so called first world or rich
country we can still encounter this: the poor and
the rich. If the spirit of solidarity, subsidiarity and
charity exist, it is possible for the rich and the
poor to live together harmoniously in this earthly
home.
This Sunday’s first reading from the Book of the
prophet Amos reminds us of the social issue
between the poor and the rich. In Amos’ time
especially in the Northern Kingdom of Israel the
rich were oppressing the poor much just to gain
from them their personal interest. They practiced injustices to the poor in their society. The
rich people had no heart for them. The poor became poorer and the rich became richer. They
didn’t show solidarity, subsidiarity and charity
to their least fortunate brethren in their society.
Yet God called Amos a poor and simple shepherd from Tekoa of the Southern Kingdom to be
a prophet of social justice for the poor. A poor
man; now become the prophet to speak social
justice against the abusive rich guys in southern
kingdom.
Between the two classes, where are we (you)?
Are we (you) the rich or poor class? Wherever we are in these classes of people in society
God has a reason for each one of us. Probably it is the wisdom of God that some become
rich so that in their riches they may become an
instrument of charity to the poor and least fortunate. And God allows some to be poor that
they may be a reminder that worldly wealth is
not important in life but God alone.
Whether rich or poor we are in this society as
long as we respect the dignity of each one and
treat each other as brothers and sisters created
in the image and likeness of God; surely God
is with us. And surely we live together on earth
harmoniously as children of God. Amen.

Financial Statement
In this week’s bulletin you will find our financial
statement. This year was close to break-even
year. Our largest change was the lower collection
numbers. Changes have been made to lower our
expenses: The complex was recently changed to
LED lighting fixtures and the parish office staff was
realigned, which will create a savings.
This year, many improvements were completed:
1) In the Lower hall, the flooring was replaced,
and walls repainted 2) ADA lifts installed in lower
and upper hall, 3) Patio Room flooring replaced, 4)
Trash Area structure built, 5) Projector and screen
installed in upper hall, 6) Hearing Loop installed in
church.
Thank you for your generous support. With your
help we can leave OLR for generations to come.

Please, Come to Church Dressed Appropriately!
To be modestly and tastefully dressed is a sign of respect for God, for our selves, and for others. It’s a false
assumption that God does not care how we dress. Jesus told us, “Whatever you do to the least of my
brothers, you do it to me.” If our attire is indecently provocative (short shorts, strapless, backless, spaghetti
strap dresses/tops, or displaying cleavage), displaying unwholesome graphics (skulls, advertisements,
scantly clad people) or tattered, it becomes offensive to our brothers and sisters who are worshipping the
Lord and therefore offensive to God’s Majesty. Ask this question: “Would you dress this way before God?”
You are! He sees everything and you are in His house.
