In the parable today Jesus gives us a glimpse of
God’s generosity. The vineyard owner freely
chooses to be generous. We too are free to choose
what we do with what we have been given. The key
point here is to always remember that everything we
have has been given to us (1 Cor. 4:7). A generous
return of our gifts is just one of the choices good
stewards make every day.

Holy Land Wood Art: The main income for the
Christian community of Bethlehem is selling their hand
crafted olive wood religious items to the pilgrims who visit
the area. The past few years have been extremely hard for
the community as a result of declining tourism. Some Christians responded by fleeing the Holy Land, and the absence of
a living Christian community is very dangerous for the Holy
Sites such as the Church of the Nativity.
On Oct. 8th & 9th, we will be having some of their beautiful art held for sale in an effort to strengthen the Christian
presence in the Holy Land.
Sunday School: Children ages 4
to 7 years are welcome to attend Sunday
School at the 11 am mass. Registrations
are still being accepted. The program
begins this weekend. We welcome all
our students and hope you have a wonderful year.
Teachers and helpers are still needed. Please see Jody or
Denise in the Sunday School room for more information.
