Very important meeting, make every effort to be there!    

 

MASS SERVERS – We will meet with all our Mass Servers today after Bible School in the Church. This is a very special ministry in our Church Family and I’m asking for the support and corporation of their parents.

THANKS, to David Upchurch and Mike Liberto for working with these children. 

 

WORLD MARRIAGE DAY – If any of our couples have been married for 25, 50, or 60 years, you might want to fill in the registration form (in the back of the Church) and you will be invited to a special anniversary Mass offered by the Bishop.

BIBLE SCHOOL We feel we got off to a very good start these past Sundays, Thanks to Donna Mumme and all of the teachers who made this possible. Thanks to parents and children for your cooperation. Let us work together to continue to improve.  

PLEASE NOTE - That we have a class for 3 and 4 year olds in our Sunday morning Bible School Classes, all our children of that age are strongly encouraged to attend.

P.S. We missed some of our children at bible school last week. I hope it’s not the beginning of a trend. 

 

CHOOSE LIFE – “When a mother receives the news that her unborn child may be born with a disability, she should be supplied with current and reliable information about the many options available for caring for children with disabilities… We as a society must offer as much protection as we can to the ‘least of these.”

(Senator Sam Brownback, NRL News, 8/07)
