Thank you so much for all your prayers for our travels. On our last Sunday as a group in Namalaka, Marie gave a speech of thanks and summarized our goals for the re-signing for another 3 year covenant. Here is an excerpt of that: "Let us renew our Sister Parish relationship as equals who all have something of themselves to share, our God given gifts and talents. Our future looks bright as we expand the school feeding program to Lungwena (a large neighboring school), support the women group in starting small business ventures, invite a new delegation from St. Joseph to visit us in the US in the fall of 2019, promote further connections between persons of each parish using technologies available like What's App and committing to regular communication between parishes to share our news and information. Together we have experienced the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit in our encounters with one another. Our fruitful visit has filled us with a future full of Hope." We plan on organizing a slide show and trip report in the near future to share all that we experienced. PAGE 3
ANNOUNCEMENTS (Contact Andrea with questions or to help out.) Children s classes? Baptize your baby? 40 day blessing? Call to sign up. Disciples Club (1st 5th) begins Wednesday September 26. Have you registered? Little Disciples during Mass: 5:00pm Saturday September 1 & 10:00am Sunday September 2 (First graders start going to Mass beginning September 9.) RCIA Adapted for Children: Saturday September 1 at 3:30pm (Lower Brendan House) RCIA Adapted for Teens: Sunday September 2 at 3:30pm (Lower Brendan House) Old Testament DAVID KING OF ISRAEL 2 Samuel 5; 1-12 King Saul and his son Jonathan were killed in battle. That left the kingship of Israel open to the strongest person. David had always been loyal to King Saul even during the times when Saul was his enemy. Why had he been loyal? because Saul had been anointed by the Lord to be King of Israel. Saul had one son who lived through the wars and wanted to be the King of Israel. But the people of Israel, one tribe after another, declared that David should be their ruler, not only because he was a strong soldier, but because the prophet Samuel had anointed David while Saul was still alive. The twelve sons of Jacob had become the twelves tribes of Israel. As time went by, the families who were descended from Judah and Benjamin stayed in the south near Jerusalem. The other tribes stayed in the north. New Testament JESUS BLESSES THE CHILDREN Mark 10: 13-16 Children are the delight of their parents. The hope of every parent is that their child will come to love God and grow up to be a kind and loving person. Imagine how excited the families were when they learned that Jesus was coming near their town or village. They hurried out to have Jesus bless their children. The disciples thought that Jesus had more important work to do and shoo-ed the families away. But Jesus showed how much he loved children by saying, Let the children come to me and do not stop them. Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven is made up of those people who believe with the faith of a child. LEARNING ABOUT OUR FAITH Models of the Catholic Church PEOPLE OF GOD From ancient times God has been choosing people to be part of his plan to bless the world. We call the Church the People of God BODY OF CHRIST When Jesus walked on the earth with us, we could see his body. Now that Jesus is in Heaven, he has not abandoned us. We are the hands and feet of Jesus, his Body on earth. TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT The Church is not a physical temple made with hands. Instead, the Church is a Temple where God lives in our hearts, as we love Him and serve the world. PAGE 4

This means taking steps to give 5% to one s parish, and 5% to other charities or causes you have personal passion for.
