Rev. Laurie's Message
As we journey through this Ordinary season of the church year, our lectionary takes an abrupt turn. During Year B of the lectionary, most of our readings come from the Gospel of Mark. However for a few weeks mid-summer, we're led into the 6th chapter of John. That's what we'll be considering, starting with our July 29th reading about the feeding of the 5,000 and continuing through much of August.
I invite you to take a look at the 6th chapter of John's Gospel. You might find it interesting to read it all the way through in one sitting. Read it slowly and ponder what Jesus is saying. He speaks of himself as the "bread of life." Certainly, bread was a fitting metaphor for the people of Jesus' day. They saw bread as survival -- it was their primary food source. The people listening to Jesus' words, as John recounts it, had a hard time getting their minds around bread as anything but food to eat. They're having a problem understanding this "living bread" idea.
We invite you to join us during August to see what each of us who share the Word here at St. Catherine's has to say about Jesus as the Bread of Life.
Christ's Peace,
The Rev. Laurie Chappelle

August Walk with St. Catherine's!
|
Please join us for a St. Catherine's August walk on Saturday, August 11.
This is a chance to see some of the local countryside and get some exercise with St. Catherine's. The August weather will be warm, but we will look for an area with some shade.
We will meet at the Starbucks adjacent to the Raley's on Mount Rose highway (18250 Wedge Parkway) at 9:00 a.m. We will probably walk 2-3 miles, but it will depend on who joins us and how far they want to walk. All are welcome (including any 4-pawed friends that you want to bring).
Please remember to bring water or something else to drink. We hope to see you on August 11.
If you have any questions, please contact Charlie Dickinson (cdickinson@cgai.com).

St. Catherine's Play Day at Camp Galilee
Wow, we've had a great response for our parish play day at Galilee on Saturday, August 18!
Please plan to arrive at
9:00 a.m. or so, to be able to make full use of our time together. This day is for you to enjoy.
There will be a couple of suggested group activities that you can join in on, or not. The first planned activity will be a hike around Spooner Lake. We will have access to the camp van at around
10:00 a.m. Depending on the number of people interested, we may need one or two others to drive the short distance as well. All hikers will be back to camp in time for lunch together at
noon.
We've put in a request for a barbecue! Beware, the food is amazing, so there is no need to bring food supplements with you. Please, however, let us know if you have any dietary restrictions so we can alert Chef Eva in advance.
Afternoon activities will include canoeing, kayaking, or swimming in the lake, walking around the camp, or lounging in a chair overlooking the lake. When you've had enough sun, you can hang out in Hunting Lodge and play cards or games with fellow parishioners. Dinner will be served at
6:00 p.m., and a campfire will be lit as the sun goes down (as long as there are no fire restrictions) If you play guitar, harmonica, or any other singalong-able instrument, or have a favorite story or quote to share, please bring it with you!
Please note: We will be sharing the camp with a small group of men from St. Paul's that weekend, and
a wedding will take place in the church that afternoon, so that building will be off limits to us from about 12:30-3:00 p.m.
Because there are so many of us heading up to Galilee, let us know if you would be interested in carpooling by either responding to beth-osborne@hotmail.com or making a note on the sign-up sheet at church. Please indicate if you are willing to drive and how many spots you might have available to transport someone else OR if you would like to ride with someone else. We will connect you so you can plan where and when to meet. Also, if you haven't yet written a check, please make it out to St, Catherine's on Sunday. $35 to include lunch only, $45 to include lunch and dinner.
We look forward to spending an enjoyable day together!

Honor Someone with Sanctuary Flowers
You can provide flowers for our Sunday services, and also celebrate someone you love.
Flowers can be donated in the name of someone special for a birthday or anniversary; you can also dedicate the bouquet in memory of someone who's passed on, or to the Glory to God.
On the bulletin board by the coffee pot is a sign-up sheet where you can choose an open date.
The cost is $35.
A check for the cost can be dropped into the collection plate any Sunday with "Flowers" in the memo line.
Thank you!

By Ann Crase
"Baby Bundles" is composed of and supported by members of St. Catherine's and Trinity Episcopal Churches.
With items donated by both congregations, volunteers assemble "Bundles" of layette items for St. Mary's and Renown hospitals. They are then distributed by hospital staff to disadvantaged new parents who have little or nothing for their newborn. Any help with the following items would be greatly appreciated:
CURRENT NEEDS
- Diapers
- Wipes
- Hats for boys, girls, and in gender-neutral colors
- Bibs for boys and girls
- Girls' receiving blankets
- Gender-neutral sleepers
- Gender-neutral outfits
Clothing should be size 0-6 months. We still have enough diapers, thanks to Linda Rosenthal of St. Catherine's.
If you'd like us to shop for you, monetary donations are always welcome, too. God Bless!
Questions? Contact Susan Lombardi at 329-2044 or Ann Crase at 356-1155.
