SALVATION PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father I know that you love me even though I have broken your laws. I have heartfelt sorrow for my sins and I ask that you forgive my sins and direct my life. I believe Jesus shed his blood and died for my sins, was buried and was bodily raised to life on the third day. I ask Jesus to be my Savior and my Lord. I pray in the NAME of JESUS, Your Beloved Precious Eternal SON. Amen. AB

• “Digital picture books are very easy to make these days, and they make great gifts. But here’s a way we use our digital photos to keep the kids engaged at our family gatherings. Each family prints out a selection of photos. We let the kids make their own books using half sheets of paper, glue and markers. They design frames, etc. After they have several pages done, we tie them together and make a cover of heavy card-stock. It’s a great take-home craft, a special souvenir for visitors, and it gets them talking about family moments.” — R.E. in Alabama

• Want to mix it up a bit with your traditional chocolate chip cookies? Try rolling them in different types of chopped nuts or sprinkles. Even crushed pretzels are really good. Or change the flavor of the chip. Add minced dried fruit, quick oats or other seeds for a change of taste. Melt chocolate chips and dip one side in it, then let dry on waxed paper. Endless possibilities!

• At a loss of what to do with Christmas cards from years past? Why not try making a wreath? Cut out a large ring from a cardboard box or other sturdy material. Arrange cards at different angles around the circle. Add holiday picks and ribbon or a bow for depth.

• Having a holiday party? Put foods and drinks in separate areas, as these are places that guests tend to linger. With different stops for each, guests will not bunch up in one place trying to do both, and it actually encourages mingling!

New Resources to Help You Save on Efficient Home Upgrades

(NAPSI)—When you’re struggling to pay bills at home, upgrading to the latest efficient technology can feel out of reach—but it doesn’t have to be.

The Problem A typical American household spends around $1,900 a year on their energy bills, but for low-income households that’s about 8% of their annual income, versus only 3% for overall American households (ACEEE, 2024). High upfront costs are a major barrier to accessing efficient home upgrades that can reduce energy consumption and lower energy bills.

Some Solutions

To help bridge this gap, a growing number of state and local incentives are becoming available for low- and moderate-income households.

States and communities around the U.S. have led the way in implementing policies that support the transition to clean energy. At the same time, households around the country are switching from fossil fuels to efficient electric for the equipment in their homes. To ensure households with lower incomes don’t get left behind in this transition, local utilities provide

special income-eligible assistance to make these upgrades more affordable and accessible.

In addition to local utility incentives, special government rebates are available through the Inflation Reduction Act. These Home Energy Rebates offer thousands of dollars to low- and moderate-income households. Eligible upgrades include heat pump HVAC, heat pump water heaters, home envelope, electrical systems, and select appliances. For more information, visit energystar.gov/homesavings. This one-stop online tool lets you enter your ZIP code and find the incentives available to you. Use it to identify and learn about eligible products and develop a plan to maximize your savings. Get connected to installation professionals and retailers in your area and find resources for income-based assistance for upgrades.

More Benefits

These efficient home upgrades are valuable beyond energy and money savings—they improve the comfort and health of your home too.

• Heat Pump HVAC: Because heat pumps for HVAC don’t produce heat

from combustion, your indoor air quality will improve because there are no direct emissions of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, or nitrogen oxides. Heat pumps also use advanced compressors and refrigerants to keep your home at a comfortable temperature year-round.

• Sealing and Insulation: Adding insulation to your home can reduce noise from outside, provide better humidity control, and minimize pollen, dust, insects, and other pests from entering your home.

• Electric cooking appliances: Electric cooking products that are covered in the Inflation Reduction Act state rebates are better for indoor air quality compared to gas ranges because they avoid burning gas or propane, which are a source of air pollutants.

• Heat Pump Water Heaters: Like heat pumps for air heating and cooling, heat pump water heaters don’t burn fossil fuels and can improve your indoor air quality. Heat pump water heaters have extremely impressive energy and money savings—they use about one fourth of the energy of a standard model and can save a family of four about $550 a year on energy costs.

The meaning of the term “cozy” varies as it pertains to home decor. For some, cozy may mean intimate spaces with lots of quilts and throws. For others, cozy could indicate bright and airy spaces enhanced by plenty of fresh foliage.

Regardless of how they define cozy, homeowners typically want their homes to be inviting and comfortable. With that in mind, the following are some ways to impart a cozy vibe to any living space.

• Make use of a fireplace. Flames lapping wood (or faux wood in the event of gas-powered fireplaces) can put anyone in a tranquil state of mind. Fireplaces add instant ambiance and make great places for people to congregate and engage in conversation. During warmer months when the fire isn’t blazing, decorative candles can be lit to mimic the same feel.

• Add texture in the design. Texture can be anything from a raised pattern on wallpaper to a knotty area rug to a mosaic piece of artwork. A home with texture tends to create cozier impressions than one with all sleek and smooth surfaces.

• Enjoy a soft rug. Although many design experts say hardwood floors or laminate options are easier for allergies and keeping a home clean, a soft rug underfoot can be welcoming. Rather than wall-to-wall carpeting, place area rugs in spots that can use some cozying up, such as beneath beds and even under the dining table.

cozy materials when the weather is warm. But when the temperature starts to dip, flannel or jersey bedding makes a bed that much more inviting, says Real Simple.

• Invest in lots of pillows. Pillows can instantly make a spot more cozy, whether it’s the living room sofa or an outdoor lounging nook. Look for materials that are durable for the space in which they’re being used.

• Think about warm lighting. The transition from incandescent light bulbs to halogen and LED is beneficial from an environmental standpoint. However, LEDs illuminate with a more stark, blue light that can seem clinical in home spaces. Look for bulbs where the “temperature” can be customized. The more the color spectrum leans toward warm light, the more cozy a space will feel. This can be enhanced by putting some lights on dimmer switches, and toning down the brightness as needed.

• Light candles. The warm, flickering light of candles adds cozy vibes in spades. According to The Spruce and Paula Boston, a visual merchandiser for Festive Lights, candles can be used throughout a home to create instant atmosphere. Exercise caution with candles and fully extinguish them before retiring for the evening.

• Update bedding for the season. Crisp and light cotton and linen are

• Install a bookshelf. Even for those who are strict devotees of e-readers, a shelf full of actual books interspersed with some well-placed knickknacks can make a room feel more cozy. Books add texture, the feel of hallowed halls and libraries, and visual appeal.

Making a home more cozy doesn’t have to be complicated. A few easy modifications can improve interior spaces.

Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux

1500 Main Street, West Warwick, RI 02893

A Different Kind of Catholic Sunday Schedule: Rosary at 9:45 am and Mass at I0:30 am No matter where you are on life’s journey, where you’ve been or where you’re going; No matter with whom you’re on that journey; No matter how long it’s been; All Are Welcome! stocc I 500@gmail.com www.saintthereseocc.org (401) 680-9076

In its informative and enlightening website, the words “more than a church” are used to describe The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux. Indeed, this openminded and welcoming church community is “more than a church;” it is one which offers its members and visitors alike a “chance to become part of something greater;” a chance to “grow in their love of God and for one another”.

Though this inclusive Catholic Church is not affiliated with Rome, its teachings are rooted in Catholic tradition and sacred scripture, and its theology is “founded upon the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.” Worshipping Him is woven into everything these members aspire to do.

The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux invites all to come worship alongside fellow believers — “no matter who you are, there’s a special place for you at our church.”

The namesake of this allembracing church in West Warwick is the beloved saint St. Therese of Lisieux. Therese of Lisieux (whose given name was Marie Francoise-Therese Martin) was born over 150 years ago on January 2nd in 1873. She became a nun at the age of 15 but lived a short life, dying of tuberculosis at age 24 in 1897. Therese was popularly known in English as “The Little Flower of Jesus” or simply, “The Little Flower.”

Together with St. Francis of Assisi, she is one of the most popular and venerated saints in the history of the church. St. Therese had a profound sense of her own insignificance in the vastness of the universe. It was this sense of “smallness” that led her to do what so many have done before her and will yet do in times to come — to “seek God” and to ask Him for help.

The church named in her honor petitions all to turn to

God for help, in whatever they have need of. They will find here a congregation of those who have felt marginalized by the traditional Catholic Church. As Father Charles Vohs, the congregation’s Priest explains, this is a church and a faith community that provides a haven for those whose lifestyles and relationships have often left them feeling estranged, conflicted, and often unwanted. Father Chuck would say to those who feel left on the fringes of their faith — come, you are a Child of God and you are welcome here. Come to be replenished, edified, supported, and uplifted.

Please come to St. Therese, located at 1500 Main Street in West Warwick. Services are held every Sunday at 10:30am. Feel free to call 401-680-9076, email stocc1500@gmail.com or visit their website www. saintthereseocc.org for more information and to view their parish bulletin. Follow them on Facebook for the latest updates. One can also learn about the availability of Pastoral Counseling and about upcoming special events.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) will be available from 9:45am – 10:15 on Sundays and from 1:00p – 4:00pm on Saturdays (by appointment only).
