- Sunday Scripture Readings
- Reflection on the Scriptures has become
more and more a part of basic Christian spirituality. At times
we would like to return to the Sunday Scriptures at home, but
we do not have the missalette with us. At other times we may
be interested in seeing just what came before or immediately
after the reading for the day to gain more insights.
To encourage this encounter with
the Scriptures, we will be including in the bulletin the scripture
reading references for the current Sunday and the following Sunday.
In addition, in our on-line bulletin we will have the actual
links to the readings.

- QUESTIONS OF THE
WEEK
- Twenty-Sixth Sunday
of Ordinary Time
-
- Change is set before us today as a way to deepen our
relationship with Jesus. Sometimes reflecting on past experiences
helps us change in the future.
Adults: In what ways have I resembled both sons
in today's Gospel?
Children: What stories have helped me become a
better Christian?
FEAST OF
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
Saturday, September 27, is the feast of St.
Vincent de Paul (1580-1660). Three hundred and fifty years later,
his dedication to the pastoral needs of the poor continues throughout
the world. In our own parishes, the St. Vincent de Paul society,
through generous donations of both money and time, serves in
a substantial way the needs of the poor in our own county.
We celebrate his inspiration. Today there is
an “open house” in our food pantry. Please stop
by to see the food pantry to get a better idea of this wonderful
work. The food pantry is located in the parish center off Playground.

SACRED
HEART RETREAT HOUSE
Senior Citizen Day of Reflection is Tuesday,
October 7, from 10:00 till 2:00 at Sacred Heart Retreat House.
The topic will be “The Conversion Experience of St. Peter”.
Call 740-667-0100 to register.
WHEN WE PRAY
AT CHRIST THE KING:
We bow to the altar as we enter the
church. It is a sign of reverence and a reminder for what primarily
happens in this space: the Eucharist. The altar is the sign of
both the sacrifice and the meal. It is also the symbol for Christ.
- As we
leave the church, we bow once again as a sign of reverence
and as a reminder that we take the love of Christ with us into
the world.
- LITURGY BITS AND BYTES
Communion Procession
Have
you ever thought about it that way? That coming up to receive
the Body and Blood of Christ is a procession? That is what it’s
called. It’s not just getting in line to receive for oneself,
but a processing up together in communion with one another. That
is one reason there is a “communion song.”
