How Can I Be Filled with the Spirit? What Does the Holy Spirit Do? How Can I Resist Evil? Why and How Should We Tell Others? Does God Heal Today? What About the Church?

Mark your calendar! October is the month of the Holy Rosary ...

In observance of the month of the Holy Rosary, the Rosary group will be leading the way to honor the Virgin Mary by initiating the "Block Rosary Family Crusade."

After a scheduled visit, the statue will then be transferred to the next family for a couple of days and so on. The statue of the Virgin Mary must be returned to the church every Sunday afternoon before 4:00 PM for prayer, singing, adoration and benediction.

Prayer guides will be available. For further information, please call Shawnie Subido at (256) 227-2231.

An easy way to support our school is to purchase gift cards (Scrip). You pay the face value of the card, however the school is able to purchase them at a slight discount - the difference goes to help our school. Scrip is available in the Gathering Space on the weekends after Mass.

Please consider that Annunciation of the Lord Church continues to be open for Mass, numerous activities and the Sacraments. During these summer months your generosity through Faith Direct can help provide the consistent resources we need to operate our parish and ministries.

Stewardship

Today's readings tell of the mercy of God the Father toward his children. Instead of punishing the Hebrews for making the golden calf, the Lord relented and showed mercy. Paul was persecuting the church till he was called by God's mercy. Mercy came to the Prodigal son. May we realize the extent of God's mercy to us and bestow mercy on those who have wronged us.

CAMBIO DE HORARIO DE MISA Y CLASES DE DOCTRINA

Note por favor: El 25 de septiembre, la Misa de la 1:00 empezar? a la 1:30 PM. No hay ningunos cambios para la misa de las 6:30 PM.

En este momento tenemos m?s de 200 ni?os y muchachos registrados para las clases de primera Comuni?n, educaci?n religiosa, y Confirmaci?n en ingl?s. Algunos de estos son Hispanos que hablan y leen ingl?s mejor que espa?ol.

Debido al espacio limitado en la escuela y la cafeter?a para acomodar tantos hijos, tuvimos que hacer algunos cambios. La gran parte de las clases en ingl?s continuar?n al mismo tiempo, es decir, de 9:40 hasta 10:50 AM. Pero el cambio m?s importante para con nosotros es la hora de la Misa en espa?ol. El 25 de septiembre, la Misa empezar? a la 1:30 PM. Este cambio afecta a todos nosotros. El mismo d?a, la hora para las clases de primera Comuni?n, doctrina, y Confirmaci?n en espa?ol va a cambiar tambi?n. Las clases en espa?ol estar?n desde 12:10 hasta 1:20 PM. Por favor, padres, planifiquen llegar con sus hijos un poco antes, como a las 12:00 mediod?a, por favor. Podemos mover algunas de las clases de primera Comuni?n en ingl?s, y posiblemente la clase de Confirmaci?n en espa?ol a la misma hora, de 12:10 hasta 1:20 PM tambi?n.

La directora de Educaci?n Religiosa, Jan Gile, dice que necesitamos varios catequistas m?s que pueden ense?ar en ingl?s (los materiales son biling?es) domingos o ayuda con el mi?rcoles de noche sesiones de confirmaci?n. Tambi?n tengamos una tarde confirmaci?n sesi?n el martes.

Si Dios te est? llamando para ayudar a nuestros j?venes, por favor deje que la hermana Teresa o Jan Gile sepa lo m?s pronto posible, por favor. Las clases se fijan para comenzar el pr?ximo domingo a las horas acostumbradas. Vamos a implementar estos cambios el domingo 25 de septiembre.

Pedimos tu paciencia y comprensi?n con todo esto. Si Uds. tienen preguntas cualquieras, por favor, preg?ntenos, a la Hermana Teresa, a Jan Gile, o a m?, como quieren. Gracias. Hermana Teresa ? ext 107 Jan Gile ? ext 108 Padre Tom?s ? Celular 256-647-1074
