PICNIC TIME!!
If you don't have plans, please join us for outdoor Mass at 5:00 on Saturday! This year's weather looks perfect! We are celebrating the baptisms of three little ones becoming part of God's big family at that Mass and recommitting ourselves to helping support these families as they raise their children to be awesome disciples of Jesus. Let's help these families experience the feeling of BEING HOME!! Be sure to stay for dinner afterward because nothing feels more like home than sitting around a table sharing a meal, a story, and a laugh.
There will be music (thanks Tim Pajk), games, coloring pages for the littles, and your Faith Formation Team will be there to answer your questions about the upcoming year. If you've been wondering what Elementary Faith Formation is like, or you would like to meet the High School and Middle School Youth Ministers, or you are curious about Melissa Kato's new job, or you would like to find out about volunteer opportunities, or you'd just like to say "hello", stop by our table!
"I want my home to be that kind of place- a place of sustenance, a place of invitation, a place of welcome"
Check out this awesome video that Kristyn put together that shows why Blessed Sacrament is the kind of home that is a place of sustenance and welcome for so many:
The Links Are Ready!
Wednesday Morning Scripture Study
“You are invited to come along on four major pilgrimages in Scripture —the journey of trust with Abraham and Sarah, the journey of freedom with Moses and the Hebrew people, the journey of exile and return with Israel, and the journey of discipleship with Jesus and his followers.”
Praying with the Senses Nature Walk
September 15 at 10:00 and 6:00
Chippewa Nature Center
Laidback Book Club:
We are reading Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home, an encyclical letter by Pope Francis. With our theme for the year being, “We’re Home,” we thought it might be helpful to spend some time reflecting on what Pope Francis and our faith has to say about caring for our “planet and every living thing that dwells on it.”
Sunday Morning Adult Faith Formation
We will spend 8 sessions exploring and discussing how the seven sacraments are more than isolated rites of passage. They are a way of experiencing God’s presence through every day, “ordinary, tangible experiences.”
And All the People Said "Amen" it's the end of the note and the name of our song:
I'm so glad to know that when I'm feeling lonely or weak or a little bit broken, that this community of love is here and that we're all in this together.
See you at the picnic!
