HEART TO HEART MINISTRY
February 20, 2017
Minutes
Meeting attendees: Barbara Hammond, Mary Klinge, Sally Dreiling, Lee Gilcris, Fr. Warren, Kathy Kazmaier
Opening Prayer
As we begin our meeting, let us make our prayer these words written by St. Ita (d. ca. 570):
“Three things that please God most are true faith in God with a pure heart, a simple life with a grateful spirit, and generosity inspired by charity. The three things that most displease God are a mouth that hates people, a heart harboring resentments, and confidence in wealth.”

2. Request from Helping Hands – since the last meeting, the director of Helping Hands Ministry contacted Heart to Heart about providing a ride for a person to catch a bus in Hays. We could not provide a ride at that time. We discussed the matter if a similar request should be made in the future.
3. Cupcakes for St. Patrick's Day – we decided to do cupcakes for parishioners in the local care facilities and our home bound. Barbara (gluten free), Lee, Mary, and Kathy will bake cupcakes.
