- Sunday Scripture Readings
- Reflection on the Scriptures has become
more and more a part of basic Christian spirituality. At times
we would like to return to the Sunday Scriptures at home, but
we do not have the missalette with us. At other times we may
be interested in seeing just what came before or immediately
after the reading for the day to gain more insights.
To encourage this encounter with
the Scriptures, we will be including in the bulletin the scripture
reading references for the current Sunday and the following Sunday.
In addition, in our on-line bulletin we will have the actual
links to the readings.

- QUESTIONS OF THE
WEEK
- Thirteenth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
-
- The call to discipleship that we receive
in baptism is ultimately a call to share in Christ’s mission
of proclaiming the Gospel to all people. As you go about your
routine this week, consider the following:
-
- Adults:
What priorities on my “to do” list can I rearrange
this week to be a better disciple?
-
- Children: How can I be a follower of Jesus this week by showing
someone love?

HOW ARE YOUR GARDENS
GROWING?
With the much-needed rain we’ve received
lately, vegetable gardens should start producing bumper crops!
If you’d like to donate your extra veggies, please bring
them to the Parish Center. We’ll give them to the Vincent
de Paul Society to deliver to the needy. Or fresh veggies would
be appreciated as part of the UCM dinners! Give us a call.
Liturgy of the Word
Christ
IS the Word. Christ
is present in the Word proclaimed at liturgy. When Catholics
used to speak of the “real presence” what we meant
was Christ present in the Eucharist. Vatican II declared an expanded
meaning to “real presence”. For example, the “General
Instruction of the Roman Missal” states that “When
the Scriptures are read in the Church, God himself is speaking
to his people, and Christ, present in his own word, is proclaiming
the Gospel.” (GIRM 9) The “Constitution on the Sacred
Liturgy” says, “He (Christ) is present in his word,
since it is he himself who speaks when the holy Scriptures are
read in the Church.” (CSL 7) --Ministry

HELP NEEDED! Christ
the King has been providing the free community supper on the
2nd Thursday of each month at the UCM house on College Street,
across from the city parking lot (not the garage!). For the summer
months (July 12 and August 9), the college students aren’t
available to help out, so we’re asking for volunteers from
our church to come and help. We usually start preparing food
at about 4:00 PM in the basement of the UCM house, and we serve
dinner at about 5:30. We are usually finished cleaning up by
7:00. We can use help for any portion of that time - the food
is already provided, and we just need to cook it, serve it, and
then clean up. If you can come and help, please call Mary or
Pat Reddan at 740 594 8591.
