What's up in Ye Old Catholic Church

1.  Thoughts on opening up churches,  https://www.ncronline.org/news/opinion/ncr-today/your-thoughts-reopening-churches-after-lockdown

 

 

 

From John Cade:

A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he'd make a deal with his son, "You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut. Then we'll talk about the car." The boy thought about that for a moment, decided, he'd settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.After about six weeks his father said, "Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm disappointed you haven't had your hair cut." The boy said, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and there's even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.

Dad’s reply:

 "Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went!"

2.  God says, "I love you this morning without  limits and I will continue to love you without limits all your life.

The Sacred Romeo Luncheon invaded by an alien Party Crasher.   See the crasher?  

 I know you, Izzi.  You would never do such a thing, though I would welcome you.  You would elevate the character of the group.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two Special Reminders:

1.  Time change this Sunday.

2.  Special All Saints Celebration Mass: bring pictures of the people dear to you who have passed on.  We will place them all on the stage behind the altar and celebrate them

Happy Halloween!
