Today's Reading
| |
Sixth Sunday of Easter
Philip went down to the city of Samaria
and proclaimed the Christ to them.
With one accord, the crowds paid attention to what was said by Philip
when they heard it and saw the signs he was doing.
For unclean spirits, crying out in a loud voice,
came out of many possessed people,
and many paralyzed or crippled people were cured.
There was great joy in that city.
Now when the apostles in Jerusalem
heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God,
they sent them Peter and John,
who went down and prayed for them,
that they might receive the Holy Spirit,
for it had not yet fallen upon any of them;
they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Then they laid hands on them
and they received the Holy Spirit.

Click HERE to see the flier regarding the MBS Textbook Buyback Program.
Parents: It's time to think about selling your child's textbooks back to MBS, Savio's textbook vendor. Please see the flyer HERE for full instructions (you need to "sign in" your books on line BEFORE you bring them to Savio on June 1st.) The great news is that when you utilize the June 1st buyback, you'll be rid of those used textbooks and won't  have to pay for shipping to send them back! Not only do you get money for your books, but a small portion comes back to Savio SPA to be used for programs throughout the year! PLEASE NOTE: Savio will only receive credit for the buyback if you bring the books with invoice to Savio on June 1st. If you choose to mail the books to MBS yourself, Savio will NOT receive credit for the buyback. Any questions, please contact Julie Zimmerman at zmardle@aol.com or Michelle Callas at mrcallas@hotmail.com.
2017 - 2018 Textbook Listing is HERE!
