All monetary donations are given to the New Holland food bank and any leftover vegetables are also given to the food bank. Summer is in full swing and so is the garden. One of our parishioners has even planted a section with an herb garden. Kale, green beans, zucchini, squash, carrots and cucumbers are available now. Tomatoes, sweet corn broccoli and peppers should be ready for harvest in the coming weeks. Pumpkins and eggplants are growing well and hopefully will be ready by late August or September.

There Goes the Neighborhood Where you live determines how you live. If you live in an apartment, you have to be mindful of your neighbors. If you share a homeowners’ association, you have to follow its rules. Even if you have a private home in a gated community, you have to pay taxes and keep up with the bills. Where do you live? No, not your address. Not the apartment number. Not your street or neighborhood. Not the town you chose because of its beauty or proximity to work. Where do you live? You live with Christ. The Letter to the Colossians calls Christian brothers and sisters those who “were raised with Christ.” And it tells them, in a beautiful phrase, where they live: “Your life is hidden with Christ in God.” Because we were raised with Christ, we live above, and we should seek the things that pertain to life above, not to life below. “Think of what is above, not of what is on earth.” We have a classy address. We live with Christ in God. Where we live determines how we live. We put aside the wants of the earth: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed. We adopt the way of freedom and unity. It’s good for the neighborhood. We are hidden with Christ in God. We are so close to Christ, that when he, our life, appears, we will appear with him in glory. Written by Paul Turner. Reprinted with permission from Lectionary Bulletin Inserts, Year C: First and Second Readings. THIS WEEK IN OUR PARISH: Tuesday, August 2 11:00 AM GSV Communion Service Saturday, August 6 *No Cenacle **Thank you for your financial contributions and continued support of the many programs to pay down our loan. You can help reduce our loan balance and interest expense by making your capital campaign pledge payments, using the Building Fund envelope, participating in the Gift Card Program, and supporting the various fundraising activities held by our Parish.
