Reminder for Sunday, June 12, 2016, 11th Ordinary Time C

 Welcome: Catholic Mass with coffee & juice & specials on the house served afterwards.

Time: 9:30; Celebrate with the Community & Stack.  Again, Welcome.

Place: Vines High School, 15th between Custer & Independence.

 

Offertory, Danny, Andrew, Sir Charlie, and Jan.

Meghan and her dad, Bill.

  Readings:

Deuternomy 26, 4-10,  He brought us out of Egypt.

Psalm 91,  Be with me, Lord, when I am in trouble.

Romans 10, 8-13, The same Lord is Lord of all.

Luke 4, 1-13, Jesus was led into the desert for 40 days.

 

  For those who don’t have a decent Bible or a book of the readings, here are two links that I use,

The Bible at Your Fingertips (http://st-luke-church.org/bible-at-finger-tips.php) and USCCB, The New American Bible (http://www.usccb.org/).  

The difference?  The first is Protestant more or less, and the second is officially Catholic and has the 12 little books in between the O.T. & N.T., called Deuterocanonical or Apocrypha. 

Both are good translations. 

Buying a bible?  The Jerusalem Bible.

Several of you have asked when will we be getting together for lunch.  We will be meeting Friday, February 1^st at 12:30 at Outback Steakhouse.  It is at 1509 N. Central Expressway, Plano.  Phone # 972-516-4100.  They have a good lunch menu.  You do not have to order steak. I love their French Onion Soup and salad. Outback is on  15^th Street and Central Expressway.

Please let me know who will be joining us.  Reservations are required.

Thanks,  Marilyn
