October is St. John s month to staff the Daily Bread Soup Kitchen at Christ Lutheran Church in Woodstock. Soup, bread, beverages and dessert are served. Soup is prepared by area restaurants and bread is donated by local establishments. We are very fortunate that the DBSK now has permanent volunteers: on Mondays (thanks to John Mocarski and his daughter) and Wednesdays. So, barring any unforeseen changes or emergencies, we are actually only looking for Friday volunteers from 3:30-6:15 pm. Volunteers are needed to do the following: Pick up the soup from area restaurants and deliver it to the Christ Lutheran Church by 3:45. 2 adults (and 1 CCD student) are needed to set up, serve and cleanup. (No heavy lifting required!) (Only 1 CCD student per shift and only with parental permission, please.) We can also use substitutes, because emergencies do happen. There will be a spot for you to sign up if you d like to be called as a substitute throughout the year. Starting in September, a signup sheet will be displayed in the back of the Church. Please include your address and phone number so that I can send you a reminder. If you have any questions, please call Barbara Runz at This is actually a very enjoyable and rewarding way to spend an afternoon. Your generosity will be appreciated by all you serve!

CALL UPON THE LORD The very first line of today s first reading summons us to seek the Lord and to call upon God. This sentiment is echoed in the refrain for today s responsorial psalm: The Lord is near to all who call upon him (Psalm 145:18a). Saint Paul is the embodiment of someone who constantly sought the Lord. In the excerpt we read today from his letter to the Philippians, we find Saint Paul toward the end of his life, a life he describes as completely consonant with Christ. He writes, For to me life is Christ (Philippians 1:21). To find out what it means to live life completely in accord with Christ we need look no further than today s Gospel. There we find that God s love and mercy are immeasurable for all those who seek and call upon the Lord. ~Father George Jodi Ryan Added in September Marilyn C. Roz Y. Mary Lou S.
