Charisms with Karen

Fr. Cooper wraps it up! Or unwraps it, more like it, as he considers charisms and
invites Mary, Queen of Peace parishioners to a Treasure Hunt! Stephen Johnson also clues us in on our new website.

The new guy on the block – Fr. Cuong Tran – gives us insights on the gift of preaching. Parishioner Christy Bloom is along to share her love for the lonely.

Jesus gave us a model to follow, and some are gifted with giving back to those in
need. Outreach coordinator Cherie Erkel paints a picture of service at MQP.

Thou shalt not look down thy nose at administration! Keeping things running
smoothly is a gift of the Holy Spirit. Dylan Mitchell, MQP Pastoral Associate, will tell
you why and how! He will also update you on our Mission to Youth.

MQP prides itself on being a welcoming family of faith. Kim Chatelain and Beth Brantley share their joy in making hospitality a reality at MQP.

Bless us, O Lord! The gift of prayer is rooted in gratitude and grace. MQP Parishioner Don Sustendal shares his thoughts on a life of prayer.

“The Lord has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word.” Isaiah said it, and the Holy Spirit makes it happen. Listen to some Mary, Queen of Peace teacher types – Kelle, Jodi and Nicole - tell you about the gift of passing on the faith.
