Prayer and discernment are requested as we ask you to consider your part in Sacred Heart returning to Perpetual (24 HOUR) Adoration in time for our 10th Anniversary celebration in March. Time slots during 1 a.m.-4 a.m. hours will be in 90 minute increments. We currently need an adorer for 2:30-4 a.m. on Monday. There are two unfulfilled hours Thursday 3-4 p.m. and Friday 8-9 p.m. in need of an adorer.
Adorers experience the greatest blessing by establishing a weekly commitment. However, it is possible for a group (such as LOSH guild or Men's Club) to share responisbility for an hour.
For information, contact Kathy Clark at 203-816-7737.

The Balboa Baptist Church, Barcelona Road Baptist Church, Faith Lutheran Church, Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church and Village Bible Church will all participate in the Crosses For Life Memorial in the Village this year during the month of September. The crosses represent some of the 2000 plus pre-born children that die daily in the United States of America due to abortion. The displays at each of the churches are to memorialize those children that were aborted and increase public awareness of the devastating effects of abortion in our country. Saint Mothere Teresa was a champion of life and was quoted saying the following: "And if we can accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another."
Crosses will be erected at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Wednesday, August 30th beginning at 8:00 a.m. Contact Bob Bowman at 501-922-6619 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to volunteer to help put up crosses. The crosses will be displayed for the complete month of September.
