Summer Friday Notes
June 25, 2010
Greetings Everyone!
We are really experiencing summer! These hot, sultry days are such a vast extreme from last December’s freezing weather – perhaps the memory of both can be comforting as we seek to find a middle ground (smile). Let us continue to pray for those who are still recovering from either the hail or flood damage in recent weeks. The basement at the convent took a hard knock from flood waters – and our little cottage still is awaiting inspection as to what we might be able to do to recover. The good news is that the pipe situation between the swimming pool and the convent is being resolved and dirt is being reassembled.
We are really blessed with our swim team this year. Today, they spent hours brushing excess paint from the sides of the pool (which make the water look murky after the first swimming group completes their lesson). They even came back last night to shock the pool. They are so dedicated. After this process, we hope we can assure a more consistent schedule in swimming.
Today the K-4th grade groups were able to see the “Mad Scientist”. Some of our entertainers have a fee – so it helps for your child to bring a dollar to help with expenses.
Tuesday, the 29th we’re having a fun meeting! All those of you who are coming in the fall are invited to come and offer ideas about our various events. We need chairpersons for all the events.
Next Friday, July 2 – we will have an all school parade celebrating our country’s Birthday! The parade will begin about 9:30 a.m. Come join us! Next week’s theme is American stars (the focus of activities will be on U.S. History).
Next Wednesday, June 30th is the deadline for on-line ordering of school supplies.
Menu for June 28 – 30
Monday, June 28 – Cheese Enchiladas, corn, salad, pineapples, milk
Tuesday, June 29 – Chicken pot pie, mixed vegetables, bananas, milk
Wednesday, June 30 - Tacos, green beans, salad, apple sauce, milk
Immersed in Christ (Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time)
Serving God in Freedom
INVENTORY: In one sentence, what am I living for? Would I call this my “ministry”? Am I willing to sacrifice everything else for it? Am I conscious of it all day long?
INPUT: The themes in the scripture readings for Sunday relay four truths for ministry – God is my all; God is my refuge; God is my counsel; and God is always present.
Scripture: 1 Kings 19:16-21; Luke 9:51-62; Galatians 5:1-18
INSIGHT: What Idols must I renounce in order to be free?
INITIATIVE: Be alert to the priorities that guide your choices. Call them into question.
