STEWARDSHIP:
Those who obey the commandments, Jesus says in Today’s Gospel, are the ones who really love Him. Does my stewardship reveal my love for Jesus?
Our commitment to sharing our blessings this past weekend was $ .
Thank you for your generous support of our parish.
CHAIRS AND TABLES:
With the good weather and graduations right around the corner, large outside parties are inevitable. In the past some parishioners have sought to borrow folding tables and chairs from the church hall. Well we’ve got an offer you almost can’t refuse.
We have about a dozen 8 foot heavy duty and well used tables, and about 80 padded stackable chairs that we are going to give away on a first come first served basis.
We no longer need them because we now have the chairs that were used at the Newman Center, and we have lighter and easier to manage tables to use for the CCD classrooms.
This is a no-cash, but you carry deal.
Please contact Deacon Ben or Bob McCluskey at 978-342-7921.
FUNDRAISER:
The Angels Among Us Team for the Relay for Life Cancer Walk is holding a fundraiser.

Thank you for your support.

THIS IS THE PITS:
Scripture: John 5:8
"Jesus said, "Get up, take your bedroll, start walking." The man was healed on the spot. He picked up his bedroll and walked off" .
A man fell into a pit and couldn't get himself out. A stream of people came by as he was in the pit and commented:
A PESSIMIST said: "Things will get worse!"
An OPTIMIST said: "Things could be worse."
A FUNDAMENTALIST said "You deserve your pit."
A PHARISEE said: "Only bad people fall into a pit."
A MATHEMATICIAN calculated how he fell into the pit.
A NEWS REPORTER wanted the exclusive story on his pit.
An I.R.S. agent asked if he was paying taxes on the pit.
A SELF-PITYING person said: "Just wait until you see my pit!"
A SUBJECTIVE person came along and said: "I feel for you, down there."
An OBJECTIVE person said: "It's logical that someone would fall down there."
JESUS, seeing the man, took him by the hand and LIFTED HIM OUT of the pit.
Prayer: Father show me how to do as Jesus does. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
