ST. THOMAS AQUINAS CATHOLIC CHURCH Mailing address is1502 Sara Rd. SE, Rio Rancho, New Mexico 87124 Office located at 1594 Sara Rd Suite F Phone: 505-892-1511 Fax: 505 891-3044 www.stanm.org Office Hours: Mon.-Fri. 9:45 a.m. To 5:00 p.m. July 16, 2017 Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Dear Family, All this week we have our parish Vacation Bible School. So many of our kids enjoy this week of study, worship, and fun. I want to thank all the many people who volunteer to allow us to provide this special time for our children! -------------- Tomorrow night (Monday, July 17), I will be teaching Adult Ed on "The Resurrection of the Body". This is one of the central teachings of Christianity - it's mentioned in both the Apostle's and the Nicene Creed. But do we understand it? When will we be resurrected? What will we be likefor all eternity? Come and find out! 7:00 pm, Fr. D'Arco Hall: one hour, followed by questions and answers! (By the way, we had a wonderful turn-out for last week's class on "The Rapture". Come join the crowd, and learn more about your faith!) --------------- This Tuesday, July 18, we begin a new Alpha Course, in the hall at 6:30 pm. Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith, typically run over eleven weeks. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone is welcome. We even feed you dinner! If you want to be refreshed in the fundamentals of our faith, if you know someone who had been away from the Church for a long time who might be interested in returning, if you know someone who wants to find out more about Christ and His Church, Alpha is the place. No need to pre-register: just show up! No pressure, no commitment. Just an opportunity to hear why we believe in Jesus Christ, and what we believe as Catholic Christians! ------------------- More Church Bulletin Bloopers! Ah, those dear people who type church bulletins! Sometimes they write the most interesting things. These sentences actually appeared in church bulletins: "Scouts are saving aluminium cans, bottles, and other items to be recycled. Proceeds will be used to cripple children." "Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands." "For those of you who have children and don't know it, we have a nursery downstairs." more next week! God bless, Msgr. Doug Raun 1
