SUMMER VACATION! To find Mass times visit http://masstimes.org/.

Dear Friends, Today in the Gospel reading from Luke 12 we are called to BE READY. To be people who help others “give alms” and who are “like servants who await their master’s return….ready to open…when he comes and knocks.” In our lives we are given lots of choices. The choice to try to put Jesus first, put love first in our lives and then the choice to put our pride or material things or personal convenience first. Of course, even a person who is “ready” for Jesus will, at times, take vacations, and will rest and will have to pray through the challenge of helping others versus making sure their own kids are provided for….But at least we can say this much, we need to challenge ourselves and pray about this question. How well am I doing at being a person who helps others, and shares the message of Jesus in the world? So we gather at Church and we follow Jesus to figure out how to be rich in God’s sight. MARK YOUR CALENDARS:

Family sports night on Thursdays during the summer in the rear parking lot of the Church.

"Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come." Lk 12:39-40

ENVIRONMENTAL MINISTRY NEWS: Holy Family received a grant for native Trees and Shrubs from Unity Gardens. They were planted by a dozen of our loving parishioners by the Chapel and at the recently cleared invasive forest edge behind the Post

Office. Last fall Interfaith Partners of the Chesapeake provided 60 trees that were planted at the rear of the property. The Environmental Ministry is looking for your help by adopting a tree or shrub of your choice. This is a great opportunity for the kids to get involved. All plants are native to Maryland and specifically wildlife supportive. We will put your family's name on the tag so you can always find them. You need to water them in the summer when it has not rained in a week. A milk jug will do. I will send you an email reminder. Empty Nest Syndrome…adopt a tree or bush! Contact Chris Gordon, Environmental Coordinator at [email protected] or call 301-585-1950.

THE WALKING WITH PURPOSE parish program at Holy Family Catholic Church is introducing a new session this fall: Opening Your Heart.

In addition to Opening Your Heart, Holy Family will also offer Discovering Our Dignity, a study that gives us modern-day advice from women of the Bible. Walking with Purpose is a Catholic Bible study that aims to bring women to a deeper, personal relationship with Christ through personal study and small group discussions that link our everyday challenges with solutions given to us through the teachings of Christ and the Catholic Church. We will meet Wednesdays at 9:40am or 7:10pm beginning September 21st. Child care will be available for the morning session. For more information go to www.holyfamilychurch.com and www.walkingwithpurpose.com or contact Dodie Seppi at [email protected] or 443-607-6476. We hope to see you!
