STEWARDSHIP OF TREASURE

 

The Psalmist assures us that “the Lord hears the poor.”  Often, however, He answers their need through the generous gifts of good stewards.

 

 

FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS: For June 14 & 15 … 209 Envelope Users (239 last week) contributed $6,966.30 in the Regular Collection, $446.64 in the Loose Collection, $20.36 in the Teen/Children’s Collection & $2,109.00 in the National Concern Collection.  Thank you!  

 

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK

NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS                                                    

TO HELP SERVE AT FUNERAL LUNCHEONS

We are in need of more volunteers to work at funeral luncheons, including men if they are available.  We are in desperate need as so many of the ladies have health problems and are no longer able to work.  If you can help out please call Betty Leszcynski at 392-8444.  Thank you.

 

KRESS HALL

OUT WITH THE OLD – IN WITH THE NEW!!

   After many years of use we are “retiring” old folding chairs and heavy 8 foot tables and furnishing our entire Kress Hall with lightweight, durable and comfortable tables and chairs. 

   By mid-June we will have in Kress Hall 12 round white tables and white chairs and 21 rectangular 8 foot tables in almond (through the generosity of the Funeral Luncheon Volunteers).  We are not currently able to provide almond chairs to match the tables without donations from our generous parishioners.   For our many meetings and events we hold in Kress Hall, comfortable chairs would be a blessing!  Providing 8 chairs at each of the almond tables will cost an additional $3600.  We have one gift of $1000 toward the purchase of new chairs – thus, we need another $2600 to complete Kress Hall with more comfortable and stable chairs.   If you are interested in providing funds to assist us in replacing these chairs, please contact Fr. Dan at the Church Office 392-8511.  

 

WEEKLY MEDITATION

JUNE 22, 2008

12TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Readings:  Jeremiah 20:10-13, Psalm 69;                             Romans 5:12-15; Matthew 10:26-33

 

“Fear no one.”  (Matthew 10:26)

 

   The message of not having fear is common in some parts of the Hebrew Scriptures as well as in the Christian Scriptures.  When God called certain men and women he assured them of his presence and told them not to be afraid of anyone.  Jeremiah hesitated when God called him, but eventually he accepted the call to be a prophet.  For nineteen chapters he brings harsh messages from God to the rulers and to the people.  They were not happy to hear this and threatened Jeremiah and eventually punished him.

   In chapter 20 Jeremiah is scourged and put in stocks for a day.  As he is released he threatens the priest who put him there with dire consequences.  But then Jeremiah complains to God that God had fooled him when God called him.  “You duped me, O Lord, and I let myself be duped.”  (Chapter 20:7)  We read some of his worries and then his faith in God’s presence.  However, the verses that follow immediately after our passage are again complaints.

   When Jesus called his first followers he promised them many things including persecution.  In chapter 10 of Matthew’s Gospel we read (last Sunday) of the call of the apostles and the instructions for them to do works similar to those of Jesus.  What we do not read are the verses between then and our Gospel today.  There Jesus tells them that they are going to be like sheep in the midst of wolves. By the time he gets done describing all the problems, they must have wondered why they accepted the mission in the first place.  Maybe he knew what they were thinking and assured them in the verses today of his presence and God’s care.

   Have you heard the call of God to be a missionary?  That is, one who is sent out to proclaim the good news (the Gospel) to all you meet each day?  Have you hesitated, followed, and then complained about what happened like Jeremiah did?  Or when you met the cross in your life, did you run away like the Apostles?  How have you responded to the call to be a missionary?

 

   Question for children:  What signs does God send you to assure you of his love?

 

   Questions for Youth:  Jesus tells us that he will remember us to his Father if we proclaim him to others.  How easy is it for you to talk about your faith with your friends?  How about your family or people you don’t know very well?

 

   Question for Adults:  What are the ways you have learned to trust God’s hand in your life, ways in which you have replaced fear with trust?  Share these with your family or friends.

 

“Blessed be the Lord, who has heard the sound of my pleading?”  (Psalm 28:6)
