All Saints Bulletin 2009-07-12

WELCOME TO ALL SAINTS CATHOLIC CHURCH

Spring has come and gone but the weeds are still here! If you would like to help with weeding, trimming and general clean-up, please call Angela at [# omitted]. Everyone is welcome to help!

WELCOME HOME, FATHER MICHAEL! WE MISSED YOU!

Parish cookbooks are available in the office during regular office hours (7:30am-3:30pm, M-F). Great gifts for any special occasion! If you have any special days coming up, we suggest you purchase your cookbooks now as our supply is dwindling and there will be no reordering.

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT Today’s readings are about being chosen and sent. The prophet Amos was chosen by the Lord and sent to use his talents for the people of God. The Gospel recounts the story of the sending of the twelve. In the second reading, St. Paul reminds us that we, too, are chosen. For what have I been chosen? To whom have I been sent?

VOCATION THOUGHT

We are making improvements on the grotto behind the rectory and ask that parishioners avoid the area for safety reasons until it is completed. Thank you and we apologize for the temporary inconvenience! Coffee and Donuts This is a wonderful family opportunity to help out in the parish. Please sign up on the Bulletin Board near the coffee and donut area. If no one signs up the week before, we will not be serving.

Pray today for those whom God calls and sends as ministers of the Good News. Read Amos 7: 12-15.
