Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin September 16, 2018
“Whoever wishes to come
after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” MARK 8:34
When we truly
believe that all we have is a gift from God, then we must be willing to give up
some things so that we can share our blessings as God intended. Living a
stewardship lifestyle means not only being responsible for our own life, but
the lives of others as well.

Note to
Parents:
With our RE
classes underway for the year, please remind your children the importance of
these classes. Our classes rely on volunteers to help teach. These
people generously give of their time to teach your children about our
faith. Please remind your children to be respectful of their teachers and
their fellow students. We only have an hour to cover material and we need
each and every minute, so we are counting on our students to behave
accordingly. If problems with behavior happen on a repeated basis, parents
of those students will be asked to sit in on class times.
We are asking all parents of grades
1-6th to come INTO the church to pick up their
children. Also, please remind your
children NOT to run near or on the highways near the church. Our children are our
first priority and We want everyone to stay safe! Information
will be mailed out for the upcoming year to
all RE families. Thank You
Assumption-Florian Fall Harvest Potluck
The
Assumption Ladies will host their annual Harvest Potluck on Sunday, October 7, after the 10:30 Mass. We ask all families to bring a dish to share.
Group 3 will serve and clean up.
After
the meal, Kirsten Fugleseth
of St. Joseph's parish in Fertile, will give a presentation on her two
pilgrimages to Medjugorje.
On June 24, 1981, in the small parish of Medjugorje
in the former communist country of Yugoslavia (now Bosnia-Herzegovina), six
children claim to have had an encounter with Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary.
These young people, now all adults, claim that Mary has continued to appear to
them nearly every day since the apparition, giving them
messages for the world. The "messages" consist of exhortations to
continuous prayer, fasting, daily bible reading, Confession and Holy Mass. Each
year, millions of pilgrims travel to this small community to experience their
own personal encounter with Christ.
