Hello folks! Our previous Webmaster, Todd Winn, was considering us having a “blog” spot. Here is the test site. Please go visit: http://www.virtualministry.com/blog/ You may want to comment on any of the “music” comments that were made recently. How the press portrays the Catholic Church, or maybe Bishop Fred’s bingo comments to the school board in Calgary.

Go to our prayer request page And please pray for Lisa.

Did you read about John Pacheco selling an air conditioner? Well if you were thinking about it, visit Madeleine Thomson’s page (John Pacheco Place), to read about his newly discounted price.

Please see Graham's Corner for information on EWTN programs this week featuring Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life, as well as Fr. Benedict Groeschel discussing the meaning of the Mass. (The programs will be shown on EWTN TV and also be available on-line.)

Although Dan has not included an item from his keyboard, he wants you to go to his page and read history of the "New Pentecost". Go to Dan’s Keyboard! If you are like me, and occasionally tune in to Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, you will hear much about Azusa St.

Do we have a Lighterside? You will only know if you go check!

Instead of a Site of the Week, we are offering a Prayer of the Week.

In the article below, you will find another prayer.

Dear friends in Christ,

I came across this prayer recently when I was 'trying' to put my papers in order, and I thought that it might be of use to someone. I do not know who the Author of the prayer is, but I am sure that the person would not mind us using it.

In Christ, Diane

Do you know of one that should have been announced here?

Sorry that I forgot to shout out to Doug Lambe, in last week’s VM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO:
Michael Sarich on July 8, Daniel Marchand is on the 10th, Dennis Girard 11th.

What was going on in VM – one year ago? http://virtualministry.com/Archives/VMArchive2005/VM297/VM297.htm
Our interim editor suggested a book – go back and have a look, and order the book if haven’t already.

And/or the next issue? It has an article from Fr Lindsay Harrison. http://virtualministry.com/Archives/VMArchive2005/VM298/VM298.htm

Do you visit the archives pages?
If you go back a couple years before hand, you will find a recipe from Amelia Stavros and a “joke” from our old friend James Kautz: http://virtualministry.com/Archives/VMArchive2002/VM141.htm
