BANK MONTH July is a traditionally
low point at the Kelowna Food Bank when it comes to food donations.
St. Pius X Parish is planning to help.
In addition to donating $2,000 for perishable items such as milk and
eggs, we also hope to collect non-perishable items each Sunday as you come to
Mass. All July is Food Bank
month, please bring your contributions to Church or you can drop them off at
the Kelowna Community Food Bank at 1265 Ellis Street.
Financial donations are also welcome between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm at the
Food Bank. Due to their
non-profit status, they can buy three times more food for a dollar than we
can. KELOWNA

from your gardens would be greatly appreciated. Just leave them in the buckets inside the Fuller St. entrance
and they will be added to the arrangements that grace the sanctuary on the
weekends. Even bring the cuttings
left when you trim deciduous hedges as they would be very useful as greenery
in arrangements. EXTRA

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
A Sunday School teacher
decided to have her 2nd grade class memorize Psalm 23, one of the
most quoted passages in the Bible. She gave the children a month to learn the
chapter. One little boy was excited
about the task, but he just couldn't memorize the Psalm. Although he practiced
and practiced, he could hardly get past the first line. The day came for the
children to recite Psalm 23 before the congregation. The little boy was nervous.
When his turn came, he stepped up to the microphone and proudly said, "The
Lord is my Shepherd and that's all I need to know!" FAMILY
