FLOWERS NEEDED FOR THE ALTAR
Sacred Heart Church

This summer we are looking for a change. We would like to see flowers for the altar donated by you. You can use flowers from your garden, your neighbors garden, wild flowers or flowers that you have purchased. All flowers will be accepted.  Bring them to the church on any Saturday morning and place them on a stand on the altar or in front of one of the statues. It doesn’t make any difference how many people donate on a weekend. 

Vases for your flowers can be found in the usher’s room in the back of the church. Let us, as a parish family, keep our altar graced with beautiful flowers all summer.

-Thank you, Maggie

Living in God's Kingdom
Yet when [the mustard seed] is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade. (Mark 4:32)

• Ezekiel 17:22-24 - Prophecy of the restoration of Israel
• 2 Corinthians 5:6-10 - Walking by faith
• Mark 4:26-34 - Seed grows by itself and the mustard seed

Adults: What is the "good soil" that has allowed your faith to grow like the mustard seed and provide shelter for others?
Kids: How do you help your faith grow like the mustard seed?

"[Religious] freedom remains one of America's most precious possessions.  And, as my brothers, the United States Bishops, have reminded us, all are called to be vigilant, precisely as good citizens, to preserve and defend that freedom from everything that would threaten or compromise it." - Pope Francis

Christianity was born in the Middle East, and churches have long made important contributions to Middle East culture. But today, Christianity is under threat in the land of its birth. Learn more about Middle East Christians and efforts to support them.
