Family Prayer
Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Those who lead others to justice shall be like stars!
- The first reading is an example of apocalyptic biblical literature.
- After predicting the great destruction of all human kingdoms, Daniel 12 portrays the ultimate victory.
- Today’s passage is the clearest statement concerning resurrection from the dead found in the Old Testament.
Jesus took his seat at the right hand of God.
- Today’s reading from the letter to the Hebrews emphasizes that Jesus’ victory over sin and death is one in which we already share.
- Jesus will come again, and the believer must be ready.
- The day and hour Christ will come, no one knows.
God alone knows the hour.
- The author of the Gospel of Mark expresses the urgency and need for vigilance felt at this time when Christ might return at any moment.
- Today’s passage is an apocalyptic discourse linking the events of the destruction of Jerusalem with the expected second coming of Christ.
- The imagery of cosmic catastrophe surrounds the expectation.

A Message from Mr. Oberdorf
Hello,
It is a big weekend here at St. John the Evangelist. The craft fair takes place Saturday, November 13 from 9:00-3:00. There will be over 60 vendors, food for purchase, and fun for everyone. Please stop by the craft fair Saturday to partake in the excitement. Thank you to the Christian Women and the Home and School for all of their hard work in planning this event.
On Wednesday, November 17 we will have our first event planned by our Wellness Warrior group. The River Risk Run will be an event to challenge our students and get them moving. The members of the group, led by Mrs. Pitcher, are excited to be hosting the event. Over 50 students have already signed up to participate and I am sure more will be joining. The students not only planned the event, but have made daily announcements about the event and created posters to advertise it. I am looking forward to watching the students run the course. The event will be held afterschool on November 17. Feel free to come out and watch or run the course if you dare.
Mr. Oberdorf

GREENFIELD HEALTH DEPARTMENT
ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR 5-11 YEAR-OLD COVID-19 VACCINATION CLINICS
The Greenfield Health Department will be hosting Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination clinics for children 5-11 years beginning this week. The Health Department will be working collaboratively with the Hales Corners Health Department and area schools in this vaccination effort.
“Research indicates that vaccines reduce the risk of severe complications related to COVID-19,” said Darren Rausch, Health Officer/Director. “For school children, getting vaccinated keeps them protected and reduces their likelihood to spread disease to classmates, friends, and family members (especially grandparents and others at serious risk of COVID-19 complications).”
See the full press release for clinic times and locations, and to register for an appointment.
