St. Joseph Announcements
St. Timon Sunday: Our Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America has a sister relationship with the Archdiocese of Bosra-Hauran in Syria. The Archdiocese of Bosra is ancient: the church in Bosra was founded in the first century by the Apostle Timon, who had been one of the first deacons (Acts 6:5) and who served as its first bishop. This historic archdiocese now finds itself facing very difficult times; due to frequent wars, occupation, and resultant unemployment, most of its people have become economic refugees, relocating elsewhere. Those Christians who remained were for a long time neglected by the Church, with their Archbishops in Damascus while churches stood in ruins and parishes lacked priests. The current Archbishop, Metropolitan Saba (Esper), has worked hard to change that. He has returned to the heart of the archdiocese and has worked to rebuild the churches, renew parish life, and reach out to the church’s non-Christian neighbors through open-hearted charity.
New Bread List: If you would like to prepare and offer the bread for Divine Liturgy, please sign up on the bulletin board in the Parish Hall.
Calling in all Pledges: Please return your pledge form to the office; if you haven’t filled out a pledge, please prayerfully consider it. Pledge forms are available on the bulletin board in the Parish Hall.
Marathon: Sommer King is running a half-marathon in San Francisco with Team in Training for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Please see Sommer to make a donation.
Cry Room: This space is for the benefit of nursing mothers, crying babies, and fussy toddlers to participate in our services. It is not for children or teens to hang out, text, or use cell phones.
Baptismal Font: Please do not sit on the edge of the font, get into the font, or turn on the water in the font—children, be sure to tell your parents!
Feeding the Hungry: Please continue to bring in your gifts of non-perishable food for the hungry in our community. Place your gifts in the cabinet in the entrance area of the Parish Hall; just lift the top of the cabinet and place your donation inside.
Your prayers are requested for catechumens Kevin, Edgar, Jim, Lisa, Jacob, Mikal, Kenneth, Don, Jennifer, and Jeff; for expectant mothers Monica, Kristina, Melissa and their unborn children; healing for Peter, Mary, and Nouhad; and protection for George and Richard, in Afghanistan.
