From our Christian Education Director
I could not help but notice that on each Sunday morning as I entered the parking lot from Rutledge Avenue a few minutes before 9:00 am, that there was a very long line of patrons waiting at the Hominy Grill, to be the “first” to be served. Rain, cold, heat (no snow however) did not drive these hearty souls away. After many months of observation, I began to imagine creative means to bring these folk across the street to Church of the Holy Communion. Attractions such as: no reservations required, climate controlled environment (no need to be kept waiting outside in the elements), a friendly and well trained group of chefs and wait staff (all superbly attired), and most important FREE bread and wine! Who could even imagine turning down such an offer! Sadly, we know only too well. Let me know if you come up with some persuasive suggestions as we wander through the summer days ahead. On Wednesday, July 23 from 10:00-1:00 pm, we will gather with our friends at the Cannon Street YMCA for a Summer Celebration. They have eighty-five 6-11 year-olds enrolled this summer and these are the children we will be working with. Father Allen along with the Youth Group and I will plan suitable programming, fun and food. All of our children in this age range are invited and encouraged to participate. Please be on the lookout for items which will be needed for this event. The parish is hosting training for Level I and II for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd from July 6-12. We have participants coming from various parts of the country to join in the courses. Anyone interested in attending is welcome; please contact me for additional information. We are in need of donations of beverages and snacks for this week. If you would like to bring something in or make a monetary contribution to offset these costs, your help would be most appreciated. Continued Blessings for your summer, Lisa Fleming JULY CALENDAR EVENTS
