GENERATIONS
OF FAITH (G.O.F.):
This
year, the year long theme for our Generations of
Faith (G.O.F.) celebrations will be
"Prayer." We invite you to "pray
through the rainbow" with us: Take home a
Prayer Card that will be given out on a Sunday
at the start of every month. They will each be
different colored cards. The Greeters will hand
you one of these on your way out from church.
Each card will be punched with a hole and the
first card will be attached to a metal ring. You
can then put all of your prayer cards on this
ring, and by the end of the year you will have a
complete set of 10-12 different cards.
We
are looking forward to seeing you at our first
G.O.F. Session on Wednesday October 15th at 6pm
or Saturday October 18th at 9am.
RELIGIOUS
EDUCATION: "Creation" "Love
of God and Neighbor" "God's
love and forgiveness" Jesus
in the Eucharist" "Beatitudes
and Commandments" "Sacraments
and Rituals" "Justice
and Social Teaching" These
are some of the topics and lessons that will be
covered in our Religious Education Program this
year. We look forward to working together with
parents / guardians in bringing Jesus' message
to all. Let us continue to pray for one another
as we journey in faith. Registration
for the 2008-2009 school year is taking
place. Families who wish to register their
children are asked to contact the Parish
Center at 634-3660 during office hours.
PARISH
LIBRARY:
The featured books from the I.O.P Parish Library
for September 2008 are:
"The
Christian Mom's Answer Book" - by Mike
Yorkey and Sandra Aldrich OR "
Daddy's Home!" - by Seven Schnur
Brief Overviews: "Are you blessed with a
lively family of children, grandchildren, or
teens? Are you also blessed with the trials and
tribulations that come as often as the good
times? Why not pick up one of these new books.
Both offer encouragement, practical advice, and
a light-hearted, creative outlook on making a
Christian home."
Scripture
Reflections: (For
Week of August 24th from Sunday
Bulletin)
-
The
Holy Spirit gathers us together as a holy
church - God's beloved people. We are united
with Catholics throughout the world as we
listen to God's sacred word and celebrate
around the holy altar. Let this celebration
echo the words of St. Paul's Letter to the
Romans, which will be proclaimed this day:
"Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom
and knowledge of God!"
-
A
Family Perspective - Like Jesus in today's
Gospel, we are seen by others in different
ways. Perhaps the name our family gives us
is closest to our identity. They know us
best. Who do you say you are?
-
In
today's reading St. Paul reminds the Romans
- and us - that all things come from God:
"For from Him and through Him and for
Him all things are." Good stewards
understand that all is a gift and share
generously the gifts of time, talent, and
treasure with with they've been blessed.
