All Saints Bulletin 2009-08-16

WELCOME TO ALL SAINTS CATHOLIC CHURCH WEEKDAY MASS SCHEDULE CHANGES We will be making some slight changes to the mass schedule while adjusting to Fr. Michael and Fr. Tony’s duties at KCHS as well as serving Helenwood on Saturday evenings. We will have Communion Services at 12:10pm Thursday and Friday and reinstating the 12:10pm Mass on Monday. Those intentions scheduled for Friday at 12:10pm will be scheduled Monday at 12:10pm of that week. We will try to notify those families involved in the change, so please bear with us as we make a few adjustments. THANKS!!

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT Even though we are told that if we seek the Lord, we shall not want, in the second reading St. Paul reminds us that, thus blessed by the Lord, the good steward should “give thanks to God the Father always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

VOCATION THOUGHT Give thanks to God the Father always and for everything in the name of the Lord Jesus. What gifts have you received? How does God ask you to use them? Read Ephesians 5: 15-20.
