A Wonderful Day of Worship and Renewal at Honey Creek |
The Annual Parish Bluegrass Mass and Church Picnic took place this past Sunday, May 22, at Honey Creek. We had a great time worshipping together, enjoying the music of Marshgrass, sharing a lunch of fried chicken with all the sides and rooting each other on during the traditional softball game. We were even treated to a clerical jam session, when Father Tom and Father Rian joined the band, for a spirited rendition of "Man of Constant Sorrow". (Click here to watch.) It was a very special day filled with food, fun and fellowship!

Churchwide Pool Party and Cookout
| |
What better way to start off the hot summer than with a cool pool party? Mark your calendar for Friday, June 17, 2016 and join us at Neptune Park, at 5:30 pm, for an evening of splashing in the pool, enjoying a cookout and listening to live entertainment. Please bring your lawn chairs, cold drinks, a side dish or dessert to share and any friends and neighbors who might enjoy a fun evening out. We'll provide the hamburgers, hot dogs, paper products and plastic cups. It should be a great night for outdoor fellowship. Don't miss it! |
Join our New Men's Study Group in June | |
|
The Men's Study Group is beginning a new series, Living the Questions, on Wednesday, June 15. Fr. Tom will convene the group for this study for one hour each Wednesday at 10:30.
Living the Questions is designed to foster learning and shared conversation around the best of today's theological thought. The series features 35 of today's leading religious voices, presented in short video compilations. Sessions will include 20 minutes of video presentations on a theme, followed by discussion. The group is open to all men of the parish! Come check out this new class and explore what's next for Christianity. For more information, Contact Te Turner: 512-695-4131. |

This summer we will explore the book David and Goliath - Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants, by Malcolm Gladwell. The group will meet once a month in June, July and August. Mother Becky will lead the group in June, Father Rian in July and Father Tom in August. The starting date will be Thursday, June 16, at 2:00 pm, in the Parish Hall. As we read the book, we will discuss how fear and preconceived notions limit us. Perhaps it's why Jesus talked so much about fear. It's a great read! Books are available in the office for $13.
