"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of
heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my
burden light." - Mt 11:28-30

Plant Stand The Plant Stand is in need of pots of all sizes, plants and lawn decorations for their
booth. Clay pots are great if anyone has some to spare. Pots can be dropped off
on the front porch of the parish office. If you have any plants at home getting too
big for the pot they are in, consider splitting them and donating them to the plant
stand. Plants are not needed until the Festival.
Jars for Turtle Soup Clean quart, half gallon and gallon jars may be dropped off on the front porch of
the parish office. Please help by removing the labels and glue. Jars that are not
true quart, half gallon or gallon size cannot be used for Turtle Soup.
Need Prayer? Prayer needs are addressed in two ways at St. Louis. In the vestibule of church is a
Prayer Request Notebook where anyone, at any time, can write prayer concerns. The
Members of the Prayer and Praise Ministry commit to praying daily for these intentions.
For more urgent prayer needs (illness, surgery, etc.) there is a Prayer Chain that will get
dozens of people praying immediately. To begin the Prayer Chain, please call one of
the following:
Janice Werner, 932-9200 ; Erma Hartman, 934-3678; or Viola Fullenkamp, 934-3316
Ministry of Prayer and Praise Intentions That God will strengthen and bless America and make our nation a beacon of
liberty and justice to the world.
That God’s blessings may fall on all families gathered together for reunions or
for a time of rest.
That in this season of vacations we may find rest for body and soul in the
beauty of our woods, mountains, lakes and seacoasts, as we discover anew
God’s lavish gifts to us.
That the children of our parish may grow in grace and joy, experiencing the
warmth of God’s love for them in the setting of family life.
That those whom God is calling to the priesthood and religious life may
respond eagerly in faith and generosity, and find support in their families and
friends. That all who suffer from terminal illness may find strength in their oneness
with Christ dying on His cross and in the compassionate love of His Mother
who stood close to Him to the end.

The Great Adventure: Bible Timeline Study Program
9:00-10:30am—Fridays
starting August 11th
An evening class will be added if there is
enough interest.
Jeff Cavins developed The Great Adventure to
enable people to grasp the big picture of the Bible.
By reading the narrative books, a chronological story
emerges. The Bible Timeline program teaches the story in a way
that is easy to remember and helps people to continue reading
Scripture on their own. This study seeks to draw people into a
transformative relationship with Jesus Christ. It provides a solid
foundation for all other reading and study.
Come join us as we discover “the big picture” of God’s
plan in Scripture, see our place in that plan and live it
out in our lives.
The study consists of Bible reading, reflective discussion and a
video lecture by Jeff Cavins.
Call the Parish Office at 934-3204 to register
or for more information.
