Church guide

More from this morning...

We had such a fun morning after church today. Our religious education classes spent some time creating their own Christmas trees, and we enjoyed listening to Christmas songs performed by our youngest class.

Happy Birthday Father Ernie! We had a wonderful time celebrating with you this morning.

Come support this great cause, and enjoy all you can eat crawfish!

Internet Safety Class: There will be a class discussing Internet Safety for you and your children this Sunday after mass (about 9:30 am) in the hall. The class is free, and open to all who wish to attend. No registration is required!

Celebration of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary will be celebrated with mass on Wednesday night, August 15 at 5:30 pm. Immediately after Mass, a reception will be held in McKee Hall. Everyone is asked to bring finger sandwiches, chips and dip or some type of finger food or a dessert. Tea will be provided.

A message from David and Jane Maul: We wish to thank Fr. Ernie for his countless hours at making this a memorable ceremony, the choir (they gave up their Saturday to make certain we had music) Ann Schmoll for Altar preparation, Heath Huffman as Altar Server, and Johanna Huffman for all her hard work at making the reception a success. Also, the Huffman family need to be recognized for their part in cleaning the parish hall after the reception. The support and excitement of the parishioners was wonderful and meant so much to us. This wedding was our Catholic wedding after several years of work at getting my previous marriage annulled. It was very important to Jane and me to be married in the Catholic Church. We had this ceremony on June 16.

Please join us tomorrow, Saturday, July 14th at 5:00 pm at the hall to celebrate Fr. Ernie’s anniversary into the priesthood! A meal will be provided.

It has been such a busy week, that we have not been able to post any VBS pictures. However, here is a sneak peek. I think Ms. Ann doing the limbo sums up the amount of fun we have been having!

VBS is a week from tomorrow, so I am working on last minute planning. Here are things I need: Actors: No speaking required. Adults/teens are welcome to volunteer. If you don't want to volunteer but want to help, inform your teens they are voluntold. Song leaders: I will have all the music ready and on slides, they just need to guide the kids through the motions. Kitchen help: We are serving a small meal each night. Pending how many kids come, this could be quite the production. If you help with this you probably will not even have to interact with children if you prefer. Substitutes: Life happens, and there might be a night or two certain people cannot attend. We still have to carry on, so I would GREATLY appreciate a few people to volunteer for this. Please let me know, because if so I may have to have you complete a quick online training if you were not Vertis trained in the past. Craft Prep: We are meeting this Tuesday at 4:00 pm in the hall to finish craft prep. This can go quickly with help from others. Setup: We will do this immediately after mass this coming Sunday. Once again, it can go quick with the right amount of help. Contact Angela if you would like to help! 501-208-4008

Vacation Bible School Volunteers needed: We need individuals to help prep craft activities this Tuesday, June 19th at 4pm in the hall. We are also looking for some individuals to help in the kitchen during VBS week. Please let us know if you can help!
