I can testify that it was of their own accord that they made their gift, which was not merely as far as their resources would allow, but well beyond their resources; and they had kept imploring us most insistently for the privilege of a share in the fellowship of service to God's holy people - 2 Corinthians 8:4-5

Tent Revival

St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Litchfield, NH

Friday, September 12, 2008

7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.

St. Francis Parish is hosting a one-day Tent Revival, featuring Father Marc Montminy of Ste. Marie Parish in Manchester, Dick Kiernan of Alpha New England, and music by David Therrien with the group, "The Silence Within". We are seeking to inspire and ignite the Spirit within us to give us the courage to go out to the world and share the love of Christ.  Join us Friday, September 12 from 7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.  Our theme is "We Must Go" using as inspiration the Tim Hughes song by the same name.

 

 "We must go, live to feed the hungry, stand beside the broken, we must go.  Stepping forward keep us from just singing, move us into action"

 

Come for a time of seeking the voice of God through music, speakers, and opportunity for community building.  Be sure to mark your calendars today.

What would you like to see in the bulletin?  Starting in September we will combine our bulletin with St. Mary in Hillsboro.  This means that we will have more space available for topics of interest.  Would you like to hear what committees are doing?  More information about diocesan events?  Information about events or workshops in other parishes?  How about scriptural or spiritual passages? Please contact the parish office if you have ideas for the new bulletin.

 

7th, 8th, Confirmation I and Confirmation II families:  This year we will not offer the 6:00 p.m. Mass on evenings when there is class.  Students and families are expected to attend one of the regularly scheduled weekend Masses.

 

Bulletin Board Clean Up: As summer winds down and committees become more active, please take a few minutes to update your committee bulletin boards in the classroom hallway.  If you are interested in joining a committee, or would like more information about upcoming events, please take a moment to look at the boards and contact the committees that interest you.

 

Dick & Linda Mueller's 40th Wedding Anniversary:  Dick and Linda Mueller are renewing their vows at the 10:30 a.m. Mass on August 31st.  Reception for family and friends to follow in St. Theresa Parish Hall.  Please join us.
