Decluttering to Simplify
As we near the end of Lent, now is the time to reflect on how your Church of the Home has found abundance in simplicity. It's not too late to embrace the idea of decluttering both your physical and spiritual spaces. Simplifying can bring a sense of peace and clarity to your Church of the Home. By removing excess and focusing on what truly matters, you may can discover a deeper connection with each other and with God. Decluttering can be a symbolic act of letting go of what is unnecessary, making room for spiritual growth and deeper connection with God.
Participating in recycling events, like next Saturday's drive sponsored by Resurrection's Care for Creation Committee, can enhance the decluttering process and promote environmental stewardship. Churches of the Home can gather old electronics and bring them to Resurrection's parking lot between 9:00 AM and Noon, ensuring these items are disposed of responsibly. Additionally, donating bikes to Spokes for Hope can provide transportation to those in need, embodying the Lenten practice of almsgiving. These actions not only simplify the home but also contribute to the well-being of others, reinforcing the values of charity and compassion.
In addition, you can support organizations like the Lions Club by donating eyeglasses, hearing aids, and ink cartridges. These items can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals who rely on such aids and keep them out of the landfill.
By decluttering and donating, Churches of the Home can experience the joy of giving and the peace that comes from helping others. This holistic approach to decluttering during Lent can lead to a more organized home, a stronger sense of community, and a deeper spiritual fulfillment.
All About Resurrection Care for Creation's
Recycling Drive
How do I prepare my items for donation?
Most items can be dropped off as is. Note the following special requests:
Hearing aids should be in a ziploc bag.
Printer cartridges should be in a ziploc or plastic bag.
Apple devices should have iCloud accounts removed prior to drop-off. Hard drives, sim cards, flash drives, etc. will be erased after recycling, so there’s no need to wipe them in advance.
I can't make it the day of the event, or I don't have a way to get my donations there. Do you pick up?
Members of Resurrection Parish should call the parish office at least 2 days before the event to discuss pickup options. Local pickup (within 10 miles of the B3 Recycling Solutions office on 9th St. in De Pere) by B3 is available for $60 (no matter how many or how large the items).
Bikes, eyeglasses, hearing aids, and printer cartridges can be dropped off at Resurrection throughout Lent.
Can businesses participate?
Absolutely—all are welcome!
Do I need to make a reservation?
Nope! We will take your items anytime between 9 a.m. and noon. No early or late drop-offs.
Will I have help unloading my items?
Yes, limited assistance will be available.
Will I be paid for my items?
No, sorry. Any revenue generated from recycling your items helps offset the costs of recycling items that are not economically feasible to recycle.

READINGS FOR THIS WEEKEND’S MASSES
VIRTUALLY SUNDAY REFLECTION
Do we take a moment to pause and reflect before reacting? The greatest example of this approach to any difficult situation is Jesus, who took a time out to respond wisely rather than emotionally. We are call to follow Jesus and have attitude of compassionate to complex societal issues. If not, the danger in of forced choices is the creation of division. Join Steve as he reflects on this weekend's scripture readings.

"Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac
for the Fifth Sunday of Lent.
Lyrics:
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Well, I've been 'fraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm gettin' older, too
