ELEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
G
reen Thumbs? Some of us are born with green
thumbs. These blessed souls can make a garden
oasis out of the scantiest soil. It’s as if they know by
instinct the right fertilizer for each plant, and have an
invisible radar for pests and drought. For those of us
whose gardens produce weak and wilting harvests,
gardening skills border on the miraculous. We look at
an empty flowerbed and see dirt. Gardeners see the
same freshly turned soil as riot of color just waiting to
happen.
T
hankfully the Master Gardener has a never failing
green thumb. He looks at the soil and knows
exactly what we need for a bountiful harvest. On
the outside a life may seem just dried soil and weak
stalks, but God sees the fruit they could bear. We
may wonder why God has asked us to carry fertilizer
or water to such a barren field, but He knows what is
planted there and what He hopes to reap. This week,
stop doubting and start scattering the kingdom seeds
God has given you. For His immeasurable power
causes the miracle of growth in each and every heart,
including yours.

God’s Garden
The years are flowers and bloom within
Eternity’s wide garden
The rose for joy, the thorn for sin
The Gardener, God, to pardon
All wilding growths, to prune, reclaim
And make them rose-like in His name.
Stewardship Thought:
Those who practice
stewardship recognize God as the origin of life, the
giver of freedom, the source of all that they have and
all that they are.
Vocation Views: The reign of God is being planted
now. How is it taking root in you? Trust that you
can make a difference by nurturing God’s life in
you. (Mark 4:26-34)
I
n the weeks ahead, I hope you will enjoy
learning and singing a new song that
Steve Angrisano wrote for our parish
called “Living Our Faith.”
In it, you will hear phrases that embody
Corpus Christi and truly encompasses who we are
as the Body of Christ. Our Jubilee theme, “Following
Christ, Serving with Love” is evident. In each verse of the
song you will hear our mission statement; “As disciples
of Jesus, we live our faith through word, sacrament, and
service.”
CHURCH OF CORPUS CHRISTI
EVEREST VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
This week we held our Vacation Bible School here at
Corpus Christi. We had an amazing time learning about
how much God loves us, and with his help we can do
anything. Every year during Vacation Bible School we
do something called Operation Kid to Kid. We raise
money to help children from a different country and we
learn about them and their culture. This year because
of the devastating earthquake in Nepal, we decided to
raise money for the children there. Many families lost
everything. Mt. Everest is in Nepal and this was our
Vacation Bible School theme this year. So while we
were learning about Everest we thought it would be
good to know what took place there. The earthquake in
Nepal killed more than 8,000 people and injured more
than 23,000. The earthquake also caused an avalanche
on Everest that killed at least 19 people, making it the
deadliest day on the mountain in history. Close to 1.7
million children have been driven out into the open
with no drinking water or shelter. So far, we have raised
$506.00 for the children of Nepal. If you would like to
join us and donate money to Nepal you can use the
envelopes provided at the entrances of the church.
Thank you for helping make a difference in the lives of
the people of Nepal.

G
RACE WITHIN—a NEW PILOT program for all women that promotes personal and spiritual
development. Through sharing, mutual support and prayer, women have the opportunity to clarify their
values, identify their strengths, and bring this new awareness to their everyday lives. As a woman, you are
the one person who knows what you need in your life. This is not a Bible study group, counseling group, or
parenting class. It is designed for your spiritual growth. It is a 9-week spirituality series that will be offered
Thursday evenings from 7:00-9:00 p.m. starting August 20 through October 15. The session will conclude with
a celebration event on October 15.
We especially would like to welcome any ladies who are new to the parish. Please feel free to ask your
friends to come as well, it is an ecumenical program. It is a wonderful opportunity to connect with other
women in our community. We will be seeking to fill this program early since we need to order the pilot
materials for those registered. Registration fee is $25. You may call or text Melanie at 223-6178 or e-mail
melned6@yahoo.com with any questions or to register.
Welcome! We thank you for choosing to worship with us today and hope that you
will return often. If you do not belong to a parish, we hope you will consider the
Church of Corpus Christi. You may call the parish office at 255-4600 to register.

Parenting Pointers: “There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is
roots, the other is wings.” (Hodding Carter) If your life is rooted in faith, let your child see it. If your child takes
a different path, believe that the Spirit will take care of him or her. As a parent of adult children your job is to
let go but not give up.
Marriage Moments: Summer is vacation time for many people. Have you planned a time away for just the
two of you? It need not be long or expensive. The important thing is to do something for at least a day that
both of you love. It’s marriage insurance.....by Susan Vogt www.SusanVogt.net.
Tired of listening to the same stuff on the radio or
television? Try listening to one of our many CDs
when taking a car trip or while doing your chores.
Pure Fatherhood: Fathers are the link between heaven and earth, and are intended to be an
image of our Heavenly Father. Drawing on the example of St. Joseph, Devin Schadt shows us how
to become a father on earth like the Father in heaven. Devin is a husband, a father of five, and
the co-founder of the Fathers of St. Joseph, an apostolate dedicated to the renewal of authentic
fatherhood.
“Devin provides an authentic call to fatherly greatness.” Charles - Kernersville, NC
“Devin’s blessing of discovering Pure Fatherhood will bless all men who listen.” - Norm - Biloxi, MS
They can be found in the CD/bookstand in the lower gathering area.
A $3.00 donation is suggested for each CD/book to help us continue this program.
It takes the whole of life to learn how to live.
Did you know... There are a few hearing aid devices available for parishioners to use during Mass.
Please contact an usher to assist you in the sacristy vesting room.
