from your gardens would be greatly appreciated. Just leave them in the buckets inside the Fuller St. entrance

left when you trim deciduous hedges as they would be very useful as greenery
in arrangements. EXTRA

THE BIBLE, THROUGH THE
EYES OF A CHILD
The New Testament When the Old Testament was
done, they started the New Testament. Jesus was the Star. He was born in a
barn in the town of Bethlehem. I wish I had been born in a barn, too, because
then, when my mother says to me, "Close the door. Were you born in a
barn?" I could say, "As a matter of fact, I was." Jesus argued a lot with
the Chief Priests and Democrats. He had twelve opossums. Most of them were
good, but Judas Asparagus was not. He was so bad, they named a really yucky
vegetable after him. Jesus healed some people
and leopards. Then He preached to the Germans on the Mount. But the Chief
Priests and Democrats were mad at him and put Him on trial. Pilot was too
chicken to stick up for Him, so he just washed his hands. Jesus died for our sins
and came back to life again. He went to heaven, but will come back at the end
of the aluminum. We can read about this in the Book of the Revolution. BAZAAR
NEWS Remember our Bazaar coming on Saturday September 25th. We have set dates for

will be Thu June 24th at 7:00 pm CONGREGATION
OF THE SISTERS OF THE PRECIOUS BLOOD They request that we join them in prayer as they prepare for the Thirteenth General Chapter of their Congregation. The Chapter will open in London on Mon, Jun 21st, and will close on Tues, Jun 29th. On Sat, Jun 26th, they will elect their General Superior and on Sun, Jun 27th, their General Council will be elected. The newly-elected Sisters will be responsible for guiding the Congregation for the next five years.
Whether we face
discouragement, loss, pain or despair, we can take great comfort in knowing
that no sorrow is too deep that God cannot feel it with us.
God wants to help deliver us from it. Reflections
