BISHOP’S ANNUAL APPEAL STATEMENTS
The statements from the
diocese regarding your payments to the BAA usually have a lag time. If
you think an error has occurred, please call us at 445 9668 and we will try to
answer your questions. Also, so many of you made a three year pledge, but
be aware that the statements from the diocese represent only what the pledge is
for each year of your pledge.
WHAT ARE YOUR IDEAS?
During coffee and doughnuts
next Sunday, Father Thomas will meet with folks interested in discussing the
future needs of the parish and the diocese.
This second meeting concerns
topics such as: preparing to meet the needs of God’s people here at St.
Mary’s five or ten years from now; and, the parish’s relationship to the wider
community in the years to come.
THE BELLS OF ST. MARY’S…
Legacy Campaign has entered
stage two of our efforts: contacting our high school alumni around the country
about the campaign and inviting them to participate. If you are an
alumnus who is still a parishioner here, we apologize if you get a second
mailing, as we are still refining our data base.
The bishop has given the go
ahead on the bell and clock restoration, and final contracts are being drawn up
to get the project started.
BIBLE STUDY
Bible Study just finished
the Gospel of John. The St. Mary’s Beginner’s Bible study has finished all the
gospels and the book of Acts the past 5 years! The Bible study will be on
break until the fall. This fall we will be studying Paul’s letter to the
Romans! We meet on Weds. from 6 p.m. to 7
p.m. Please consider
joining the group in the fall.
YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY PLANNING… continues with our next leadership meeting scheduled
for July 30th at 7pm
in the SpechtCenter. Anyone interested in serving on one of our three committees: Social,
Service, or Spiritual should attend. Plans are in the works for our
kickoff cookout with Father Thomas in August. The young adult ministry
will be working the soda booth at the festival. This will be a great way
to serve our parish and get to meet other 20/30 something’s in our
parish. To sign up to help please contact Jen Yannayon at
