Vacation Bible School
June 22-26, Mon-Fri, 10:00-12:30
VBS Sea-son is upon us! We are looking for a big catch, so sign up today! The early registration price for participants is $15 for the first child and $10 for each additional child in the same family. This fee covers crafts, snacks, supplies, healthy foods from Biblical times, and other VBS goodies. Register now to receive this great rate. If you wait until the day of VBS, the cost will be $20 per child, which is still a fabulous deal, but why not save even more money? If you want to help out or to be a part of this adventure but are not able to come, there is another way you can join in the fun. We are in need of some unusual donations:
-1 more wicker laundry basket
-2 large broken golf umbrellas
-4 plastic oil “candle fillers”
-clean white sand
-fresh figs
-large fishing net or hammock
-tiny shells from the beach
If you can donate any of these items, contact the office: 478-2797

Thanksgiving
The word “thanksgiving” usually brings to mind the holiday in late November, but as early as the mid-second century Saint Justin Martyr referred to the blessed bread and wine of the Mass as “food we call ‘thanksgiving’ ” (eucharistia in Greek). The Thanksgiving holidays we celebrate in autumn are at times marked by a sort of proud societal self congratulation and the wanton consumption of food until we sink into an inert stupor, while the “thanksgiving” of the Eucharist is just the opposite in that we are led to it by an acknowledgment of our own failings. We remember our humble place in the grand scheme of things by giving praise to God alone.
The food of Christ’s body and blood fills our spiritual hungers, but it also creates in us a much greater hunger. We are not permitted to sink into our spiritual sofas to let the Lord’s Supper settle. Rather, we are sent out to be living signs to the world of that holy thanksgiving by caring for the poor, defending the powerless, feeding the hungry, nursing the sick, and speaking out against the self righteous. In short, the hunger created by our doing-this-in-remembrance-of-Christ must lead us to living in remembrance of Him.
