Flowers for Church We would like to have flowers in our sanctuary each weekend. Many of you probably have beautiful flowers in your gardens that you would like to share with all of us. This does not have to be a formal arrangement, just a bouquet of your garden flowers. It could be one or two vases or pots of flowers. If you would be willing to provide flowers for one weekend this summer, you are asked to sign up on the bulletin in the narthex. Volunteers are also needed to stop in once during the week to water these flowers. Please contact the office if you are willing to help.
Sunday, September 11th at 11:00 AM Every Sunday during the 9:30 AM Mass we celebrate Children's Liturgy of the Word. Children come to church, sit with their family until they are called forth at the beginning of Mass, then proceed to the hall where they pray together and share the scriptures in a way which is more meaningful for them. After a related activity they return to be with their family for the remainder of the Mass. We are grateful to all who have volunteered to serve as leaders of our weekly Children's Liturgy of the Word. A sign up sheet is in the narthex, and the guidelines, information sheets, etc. for each week are in the altar server sacristy. If you are willing to help as a leader or in any other way, contact Sister Mary at 860-633-3317.

AUGUST 7, 2011 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Anyone who has ever lived in the central part of the country knows how huge thunderstorms can blow up in the summer. The heat and humidity give rise to massive storm clouds as the barometer sinks into a low-pressure zone that signifies the developing storms. The most violent of these can include intense lightning, destructive hail, flooding rains, and deadly tornadoes. Last October's record low pressure over the continental United States-28.21 inches of mercury over Minnesota-produced storms that meteorologists described as a "land hurricane." But as typically happens after summer thunderstorms, once the rains pass through, the sun comes out and shines warmly in a cloudless sky. Jesus' disciples must have felt intense fear on the lake as their boat was tossed around in the dark. Thick clouds would have covered any moon and no lights from the shore would have been visible since tiny oil lamps would not penetrate the darkness that far out. We know the fear a tornado can cause for those in a secure home as they rush to the basement to seek shelter. Imagine being on a lake in a small boat tossed about by the waves. Even skilled fishermen like Peter and Andrew and James and John would have been afraid. In that storm, Jesus comes to calm the waves and give hope to his disciples. He is also the One who comes to us in the great storms of our own lives. When we are tossed about by the problems, fears, difficulties, and tragedies of life, Jesus is there to give us hope. Like the passing thunderstorm, we still have to deal with the effects of life's problems. They don't magically go away. But Christ is there to see us through, even as we recover from whatever storm battered our life. His words to us are the same as those addressed to the disciples: "Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid." ©2011 Liturgical Publications Inc
