Voices Rising will be presenting a summer concert, "Awaken the Music", Sunday, August 6 at 3:00 p.m. at the Village Bible Church. This concert will be a mix of familiar movie melodies, spirituals and hymns along with some "silly summer stuff" all representing how music inspires us throughout our daily lives. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children. They can be purchased at the door or from any Voices Rising singer (especially Bill Lamoreaux and Maureen Morgan). Voices Rising appreciates the support provided by Sacred Heart at our concerts and when we have been invited to sing at our church events. Hope to see you there!!
Our church offers balance, strength training and light to moderate aerobic activity classes. This is our "Fit'nBalance" class every Tuesday and Thursday at 10:00 a.m. in the Lower Hall. We also offer Chair Stretch & Balance (in the Lower Hall) and Mat Yoga (Upper Hall) on those same days at 11:30 a.m. Having good balance is an important way to help prevent falls and there are many benefits to regular exercise, especially as we age. Physical activity along with a healthy diet are two of the most important lifestyle factors that help us age gracefully. Finding an exercise program that is fun and engaging is essential to help create a lasting habit.

Here at Sacred Heart of Jesus we are blessed to have a congregation that so generously gifts prayers for those who have passed along with intentions for those who remain but may need to be lifted up for whatever reason. Other parishes are not so fortunate and the diocese recommends forwarding to parishes with less requests. Rest assured, your intention has not been overlooked. There is a list of those intentions kept at the church office. Thank you for your understanding.
"The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship. Jesus awaits us in this sacrament of love. Let us not refuse the time to go meet him in adoration, in contemplation full of faith and open to making amends for the serious offenses and crimes of the world. Let our adoration never cease." - St Pope John Paul II

A BIG THANK YOU to Sharon Board who had been the volunteer in our Church Library. Once it was decided to empty the room, Sharon worked long and hard to clear the books and offer them for free to our parishioners. It was a monumental task and she kept going until its completion. It is very much appreciated and does not go unnoticed when someone works so hard for our parish!!
