Reflection of the Week
Holy is not the one who never sins, but the one who repents and reconciles, changes and with the strength of God does not do it again. Holiness does not consist in never making mistakes or sinning . “Holiness grows with the capacity for conversion, repentance, availability to start over, and above all with the capacity for reconciliation and forgiveness.”
Have a blessed week full of forgiveness, reconciliation that leads to Peace!
Fr Rafael Pereira
Events and Announcements
Back to School Drive
It’s time for kids and teachers to head back to the classroom. I’ve been in touch with Ms. Mooney at Gibson MS and she said they have just a few pressing needs. 1. Plain black or Navy Polo Shirts. Adult medium is the most popular size but they also can use Adult small and large. These are fairly inexpensive at Wal-Mart, Kohls or Target. 2. 3” binders. 3. Dividers for the binders. We will collect these items at the back of the church to deliver on August 5th.
Book Study Group
Beginning August 9, 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. we will be discussing Taste and See, by Margaret Feinberg
On this culinary exploration of Scripture, you’ll descend into the caverns of a salt mine, fish on the Sea of Galilee, bake fresh matzo at Yale University, ferry to a remote island in Croatia to harvest olives, spend time with a Texas butcher known as “the meat apostle,” and wander a California farm with one of the world’s premier fig farmers. With each visit, Margaret asks her hosts, “How do you read these Scriptures, not as theologians, but in light of what you do every day?” The answers will forever change the way you read the Bible–and approach every meal.
Full Pantry
The pantry in Room 4 is bursting with food and supplies. Please spread the word that we have the means to help anyone in need. Tuesday the Thrift Store is open with most clothing items available for $1 or less. Pass the Wors that All Saints’ is here to help.
Vestry Meeting Change
The Vestry Meeting for May has been changed to Tuesday, May 17. It will still be in the Parish Hall at 6:00 pm.
