Do You Need a Name Tag?
For the past several Sundays, Fr. Dick has reminded us to wear
our name tags. Wearing them is a kindness to others and a form of hospitality.
If you do not have a name tag, please sign your name on the sign-up sheet located on the information table in the narthex. Name tags are made weekly and are clipped to the screen. They are organized by the first letter of your last name. Please don't forget to return your name tag to the screen before you leave.

Intercessory Prayer
Did you know that you often leave an important part of your relationship with God behind when you leave the
Sunday
bulletin in the pew after the service? During the service, we offer a brief "blanket" prayer for those who have asked that we intercede with the Lord on their behalf. But that prayer is indeed brief. God wants us to pray for others because intercessory prayer reflects God's own character of outgoing love and mercy. God wants us to think like He does, and praying for others helps us to think beyond ourselves and to grow in compassion for others.
We cannot pray honestly for someone else without, at the same time, growing in compassion toward that person in particular, and indeed, toward all suffering people. Through honest prayer, we become more like the God to whom we address those prayers.
We also focus outward, rather than always looking inward, in asking for
love and joy and peace and patience and healing and all the fruit of God's Spirit for His followers.
This Sunday, consider taking the bulletin home with you. Take five minutes during the week (or more) and offer brief (or more detailed) prayers for each person who has a need. Do this on a regular basis, and see what benefit this can have for you, as well as for others. And may the Lord work wonders in your life!

You are invited to join Foyers as they meet up at

Modeled after Cursillo, Walk to Emmaus, and Happening, Discovery is a weekend with activities for all ages, with plenty of opportunity for sharing, learning, building community, singing and fun! At Discovery, you will make new friendships and strengthen your ties to God and your church family. There are two separate offerings: one for adults and YEA, and another for children, Rite 13 and J2A. And while it is an in-house renewal weekend, you will return Friday and Saturday nights to sleep in the comfort of your own bed! Discovery is a gift to you from the Parish.
