enthusiasm was great .I explained how our organization helped families, and how much their
collected donations were needed since our supply bins were running low. Our bins are full,

support of the Building Renovation Lottery as the next phase of the project approaches, remodel of the

MARRIAGE MINUTE
“The Super Bowl of Life” ----It’s kickoff time! When you hear that, you are probably
thinking of the Super Bowl, which is one of the most “sacred” events of our secular
culture. However, in addition to crowning a football champion this weekend, it is also
time to kick off National Marriage Week. While National Marriage Week does not have
the pomp and circumstance that the football game has, perhaps it should. Super Bowl
Sunday is a great opportunity to gain insight on how to strive for excellence in our own
marriage. What if we approached our marriage in the same way these incredible athletes
approached this game? To kick off your more intentional marriage, consider the Living in
Love retreat at Holy Spirit in Overland Park Feb 10-11. www.archkck.org/livinginlove
