This laughter-filled interview is all about C.L.O.W. aka Children's Liturgy of the Word and the selfless person who runs it for her church: Beth Ferris. From lesson planning & reading the Scriptures ahead of time to preparing the activities and questions & organizing the beloved stickers and puffballs, the leaders of C.L.O.W. work tirelessly throughout the week to bring a well-planned lesson to our young children nearly every single Sunday!.

In this Episode, Beth shares with our listeners the details of piecing these lessons together and all the joys and laughter that go into (and along with) running this beautiful ministry. If you’d like to reach out to Beth, you can find her on Facebook at Beth Grzybinski Ferris, and while you’re on social media, be sure to “like” us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram at “Whatsoever168 Podcast” and be sure to subscribe to the podcast, too!

Just a few years into her retirement and fresh off her morning run, Coach Janice Johnson sat down with me for this Episode to talk about her work as a coach at a local public high school. She shares the joys of coaching swimming and how she guides these teens in their journeys as students and athletes all while remaining true to her faith. At times, it can be a challenging walk, but she manages this leg of her journey with humility, laughter, perseverance, and grace.

You can reach Coach Johnson via email at [email protected] I know she would love to hear from you, and she would definitely be a fantastic go-to person for general coaching and swimming questions!

This episode is filled with twists & turns and maybe a few planes & motorcycles passing by during our interview that overlooked the beautiful Indian River Lagoon, but I assure you that this podcast with Lynda Tempest and her prison ministry is absolutely insightful and intriguing!

A devoted wife, mother, business co-owner, and far-too-busy-to-add something-else-to-her-plate, Karen Seara said “Yes” (albeit a bit trepidatiously) when called to begin AND lead her local church’s chapter of C.C.W. With less than a year under her belt, she and her Team have accomplished quite a bit, and I know you will learn a great deal from this podcast about women in the church and the special roles that they can play, but she also petitions the men in the church, as well.

If you would like to reach out to Karen, you can find her most easily on email at [email protected] I know that she would welcome any advice from other C.C.W. friends, and she would also love to hear from our listeners, too! Please, keep Karen’s C.C.W. chapter in prayer, as their Consecration to Mary is coming soon in December. Thank you!

At just 8 years of age and encouraged by her loving & supportive parents, our guest took up sewing. All these years later, Mary McCarthy is taking her gifts & talents and putting them to great use for the church. As an integral member of the Arts & Environment Team, Mary’s ministry entails sewing a great number of the beautiful fabrics one sees when he/she walks into the church… including the priests’ vestments!

This little spitfire is our youngest guest on the podcast thus far! At 10 years of age and with just an old sewing machine and a few pieces of fabric and filling, this kid embarked on a new ministry that she calls PILLOWS FOR PALS. Cassidy Reneau was inspired by a sign that a homeless man was carrying, which prompted her to put some work boots on her ideas, and now she is slowly up and running with this brand-new ministry!

You can reach out to Cassidy via Instagram @pillowsforpals I know she would love to hear from our listeners, and if any of you sewing folks have advice, she would especially love to hear from you, too! Be sure to listen to the end to hear her “168 -- Don’t Wait Challenge,” and help Cassidy with the homeless in your communities with your next 168, as well! Enjoy this podcast with our little friend… I know you’ll love her almost as much as I do!!!

New to her Catholic faith AND at the young age of 20, our guest, Lexi Buckner, is headed off on an adventure of a lifetime FOR a lifetime. As I type this she is headed off to Jacksonville, FL to Home of the Mother, which is a convent!!! It is there that our sweet guest will try to discern God’s call in her life, as she believes she is being called to serve Christ as a religious sister. Please, join me in lifting Lexi in prayer, and if you would like to reach her to let her know you are praying for her or to ask her questions about her journey, you can contact her on IG @lexibuckner_

This happy couple has been serving in their Whatsoever Project/Ministry for over 20 years! Chico & Pat Mastropaolo are such a fun husband & wife team, and their joy is contagious. Still helping their church & community while in their 80s, this duo does not plan to slow down any time soon!

Pat is on Facebook & would love to hear from you. You can find her under “Pat Mastropaolo.” Send her a message and share your thoughts about her interview.

The St. Mary’s (in Rockledge, FL) Helping Hands Golf Tournament is October 20th. They would love for you to bring a team or stop by to cheer on the golfers. All checks can be made out to “St. Mary’s Helping Hands,” and all proceeds go directly to this Ministry. And if you’d like to buy a new building for Helping Hands, I am certain that Chico & Pat would dance a little jig if you did… they might even let you post it on Facebook!
