From Your Pastor…
Well how’s this
for Divine Providence! As our Finance Council has
been ahead of the game on restoring our historic but
long-neglected stained-glass windows, Mother Nature
decided to move us into fast-forward mode. During
last Sunday afternoon’s quick but strong
thunderstorm, two of our windows suffered
considerable damage. A two-foot-square section of
one of them actually landed on the sidewalk in front
of the church. Thank God nobody was walking by
at the time! Take a look at what we found:

You can see the emergency repair job we
performed last Sunday evening if you stand
on 37th Street and look up, above
the west door.
This is proof positive that
we need to support Pennies 4 Panes (www.pennies4panes.com)
and attend the October 23rd
party.
Thanks in advance! |
Our last night of
BINGO is this Wednesday, before our players
and volunteers take a well-deserved hiatus during
the month of August. Progressive jackpots have
grown to historic levels! Don’t miss out!!
Doors open Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. and games begin
at 6:45. You’ll be home by 10:00. Food and soft
drinks/coffee are available for purchase. BYOB.
Computer rentals available … so if you don’t know
how to play, don’t worry! The computer does all the
work. Must be 18 to enter.
Vacation Bible
School
will be held Monday through Friday, August
2-6. While we’ll enjoy a new theme, the same format
will be followed as in the past few years. Check out
the VBS page this website. All neighborhood children
ages 3-10 are welcome—no matter their parish or
faith tradition.
We’ll meet from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon each day,
exploring the scriptures and Jesus’ love for us
through games, arts/crafts, Bible lessons, songs,
snacks and lots of other fun activities. While there
is no set fee, donations in any amount are welcome.
Adults wishing to help with VBS are invited to
contact Carrie Petrulis, coordinator, or send me an
Email.
Have a great week!
