“Were not our hearts burning within us while
He spoke to us
on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?”
Luke
24:32
ATHLETIC REGISTRATION for next year THIS WEEKEND after
the three Masses. Please make yourself a
BIG note to not forget to take care of this if you plan on your children in
grades 4-8 next year to play basketball as a Hawk or a daughter in grades 5-8
next year to play volleyball. You do not
have to bring paperwork with you; it will all be done on site. If you recall, there is an “early bird”
special on the fees if you take care of this now. Our big OPEN HOUSE is also this Sunday
between 9:30 am and noon. Please come in
yourselves and welcome any “new” people you happen to notice. Bringing guests along would be terrific.
Kaitlyn Linskens, one of our
fifth grade students, from all the fifth graders in the city taking the D.A.R.E
program this semester, was chosen to read her essay at their graduation
Thursday, the 19th, at the High School.
We’re all proud, Kaitlyn.
Congratulations! Thanks to
Officer Schroeder for all the time she spent over these past few months helping
our youngsters realize what a wise decision indeed it is to make a “commitment
to remain drug and violence free.”
Lots of important paperwork – parent homework, if you
will – going home today if you have children in 4K-7:
Financial
options sheet. Call if you are confused
in any way. We’d be happy to answer any
questions.
Contract for next year. Please fill in all blanks. Three of the four sides need your input (very
minimal). We will make a home copy for you
after we have your signatures, and we’ll send it back in the weekly envelope.
Service hours sheet for 2011-2012. A few have requested it since you can start
recording any ways you helped since this past April 15 and throughout this
summer. (The church picnic is a great
opportunity for service hours. It’s
coming up Saturday and Sunday July 9 and 10.
Watch the church bulletins for information on that.)
There are others too:
some permission slips for some grades, an important Home and School
sheet requesting folks to step up and fill some vacant positions for next year,
and some reminders for a few folks. We will bless you many times over if you
can get the financial options sheet and contract back early next week. Thank you.
Thank you!
There will be a few opportunities in early June to
attend the workshop “Protecting God’s Children”; it’s the one that is
obligatory for ANY volunteers in our diocesan parishes. The first one will be at 10:00 am on
Wednesday, June 1, in our rectory hall at 412 N. Fourth St. The other two will be at the First
Congregational Church on Thursday, June 2, and Sunday, June 12. I’ll share those times as soon as I get them;
they’ll be either in the afternoon or evening.
The reason for the First Congregational site is that some of the
volunteers for the summer Bible school experience need the workshop, and that
effort is a joint ecumenical one. The
churches who take part take turns being the host parish. It’s a good thing.
