On May 31 Deacon Larry Lipsmeyer will celebrate 20 years since his ordination to the Diaconate in Little Rock.  Since the day of his ordination, Deacon Larry has faithfully served the people of Sacred Heart of Jesus parish, his only assignment since ordination.  When you see Deacon Larry, congratulate him and thank him for his years of service to our parish.

Good and Gracious God, we thak you for the gift of Deacon Larry.  You called him 20 years ago to serve you as a minister of the Lord, Liturgy and Charity.  We ask you to continue to bless him and Jan, as she has faithfully supported him in his ministry.  Loving Father, fill Deacon Larry with your Holy Spirit, a spirit of love and service so that he may bring to completion the good work You have begun in him.  Amen.
