We will be serving fried chicken, kettle beef with potatoes and gravy, liver dumplings, and all the trimmings. Dine in our air-conditioned hall or outside in the screened in area. The dinner tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for children. There will be games for adults and children, Bingo, and a Live Band. The raffle prizes include $1,000 cash prize, a 19" color TV, a beautiful handmade quilt, and a $100 cash prize. The dinner and fun will begin at 11:00 a.m. and continue until 5:00 p.m. Bring the family – we have something for everyone!

Thank you to all who have donated to the Country Store/Fancy Stand. We are still in need of handcrafted gifts, books, homemade jellies, jams, relishes, and gently used items.

Dear Jesus,

Through bread and wine at the Last Supper, and by Your Holy Word, You gave the Eucharist

to Your church. You transformed common food into His Body and Blood, and offered us a share in Your life in ways we still cannot fully understand. Grant now that Christi Calvert, Stephanie DeGonia, Maitlan Halter, Nathan Hambrick, Olivia Hampton, Abigail Inserra, Kennedy Kohler, Jonah Lappe, Katie Lenhardt, Cassidy Molitor, Tori Propst, Emily Rasnic, and Carly Stephens will will always treasure the gift they have in You.

Give them the grace to be faithful to You and to remain in communion with Your church.

When they receive their First Communion, the Bread of Life and Cup of Salvation, make them aware of the hope they have for eternal life in You.

Amen.

Congratulations to the First Communicants, their parents and teachers.

Annual Catholic Appeal

All that we have – above all life itself – God has given to each of us mysteriously and without question. We must find the link between that Love and our human ability to love others. Please respond generously to the 2010 Annual Catholic Appeal.

We will have a video this weekend and our volunteers will have your pledge cards available.
