Bulletin – 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time

/ kredig

Dear Friends,

Mass on Sunday, July 9, 2017, at 10 A.M.

Remember, Mary of Magdala Celebration–Mass on the Farm, July 23, 2017, Mass at 10 A.M.–potluck lunch to follow–this is just two weeks away, so sign up soon! 

Our walk through life as followers of our brother Jesus call us continually to know our God better, as Creator, Savior and Spirit–the Trinity.  Jesus has told us–if we come to know him, then we know the One who sent him as they are One and the Same.  As we strive to know our loving God better, let us keep our eyes on Jesus.

Come; be with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Remember to Save the Date — July 23, 2017, Sunday, Mass on the Farm, followed by a pot-luck lunch, Mary of Magdala Celebration, 10 A.M. — ? –.  Email Pastor Kathy if you would like to attend, aaorcc2008@gmail.com and what you can bring! 

We continue with Ordinary Time this week and our challenge and mission as laid out in our Scriptures to be welcoming to all of God’s People–no ifs, ands or buts.  We simply can’t turn people away from our communities, our tables of celebration when our God,  in Jesus is so welcoming!

Bulletin – 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time

/ kredig

Dear Friends,

Mass on Sunday, June 25, 2017 at 10 A.M.

Remember July 23, 2017, Mary of Magdala Celebration–Mass on the Redig Farm–let Pastor Kathy know if you can come and what you will bring! 

This Sunday we move back into Ordinary Time. And as we have said many times, the only “ordinary” thing about these Sundays is that they are not major feasts like Christmas and Easter! I say that they are not ordinary because we still are challenged each week by our brother Jesus and others, to be our best selves.

Come; be with us and celebrate our oneness as Jesus’ followers.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Bulletin – Corpus Christi Weekend

/ kredig

Dear Friends,

Mass on Saturday, June 17, 2017, 4:30 P.M.

SAVE THE DATE:  SUNDAY, JULY 23, 2017, 10 A.M. ONWARD—? Mass on the Farm–Feast of Mary of Magdala, prophet–watch for official announcement and sign-up sheet coming soon! 

This weekend we are called to remember and reflect upon our true call as followers of Jesus, the Christ–we are  to be his body and blood in our world–we are to see others as his body and blood--we are to recognize, at least, the potential with each person to be the very life-blood of our brother Jesus.

These concepts cause us to stretch outside the box.  Come; do that “stretching” with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Readings: 

  • Deuteronomy 8: 2-3, 14-16
  • 1 Corinthians 10: 16-17

Bulletin – Trinity Sunday

/ kredig

Dear Friends,

Mass on Sunday, June 11, 2017 at 10 A.M. Presider will be Pastor Dick Dahl. 

Robert and I will be at a nephew’s wedding–my brother’s son. 

This Sunday is a wonderful meditation on the greatness of our God–we speak of God’s omnipresent nature as One, displayed in three persons: Creator, Savior and holy–Spirit. God is beyond gender as we so often talk, but we attempt to name this most powerful, Love-in-Action in terms of gender to have this great Entity closer.  God chose to be close to us in the person of Jesus.

For all the centuries that humans have spoken exclusively of this Great Love as male; I have treasured Elizabeth Johnson’s answer these past 20 years to why Jesus came as a man.  His message to us all was to be “servants” and Johnson answered, “Women already knew how to be servants, so Jesus’ coming as a male was a direct message to men to do the same!”

And beyond that, this Sunday celebrates that our God is big enough to include us all, female and male and beyond–let us all praise God for this and move ahead living as if we believe that! No more belittling of one gender over another which translates into our world that women “are less than men” and thus can be treated that way. This Sunday does indeed call us to pure praise for a God who made us so unique, so blessed, so capable to face the world sharing our gifts for all.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
