What to do with older issues of Lay Witness and This Rock

[Sheeniac]

Does anyone have any ideas of what to do with older issues of Lay Witness and This Rock. I have a couple of years’ worth and hate to just throw them out.

Thanks! Juli

Give them to your parish library, Evangelization Comission, Religious Education Commission or RCIA program.

Find out who is in charge of the prison ministry at your parish. They are always in desperate need of such materials - and they will be read!

You might consider leaving an issue in the waiting room (after removing the address label of course ) the next time you go to the doctor or take your car in for an oil change. I know that was what really helped me start my journey to become Catholic.

I had been hearing the call and had done some research and searching online and in my local library but I knew what I really needed to do was visit a Catholic book store. For some reason I had convinced myself a big “P” would appear on my forehead as soon as I walked in the door and they would know I “didn’t belong”, so I kept chickening out.

One day I saw a 2-3 year-old copy of the Magnificat in a waiting room. I looked through it and it was the little boost of courage I needed, as well as the great big sign that this was what God wanted me to do. I went to the Catholic bookstore two blocks away and when the owner asked if he could help me I told him I was looking for books on conversion.
I still have that issue and every time I see it I thank God for the person who put it in that waiting room.
