Church of the Ascension 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time August 28, 2016

STEWARDSHIP 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time “Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you." Luke 14:13 -14 We have a difficult time with the concept of giving without expecting something in return. Even when we give to charity we often want something in return – a raffle ticket, a dinner, or a chance to play golf. Yet, as Christian stewards we need to remember that the true reward for our giving awaits us in heaven.

Special Zoom this week! Brag Battle 2016. Bring a friend and share about them in a friend show 'n tell coffeehouse style. Dinner is at 6:00pm. Event runs until 8:00pm in the youth center. All 9th-12th graders are invited! Contact Chelsea/Joe for more information at [email protected] or 913-681-7683.

A2J MINISTRY

We are currently hiring a new coordinator for the 6th and 7th grade A2J ministry. In the meantime, Joe and Chelsea (the co-directors of youth ministry) will be offering events for this age group. The middle school kickoff is to be announced. Stay tuned!

USHERS NEEDED

We are in dire need for ushers at the 11:45am and 5:00pm Sunday Masses. We are so short staffed that it is impacting our ability to properly support the Mass. Please contact Jan Montalvo at 913-851-1912 or [email protected] if you can help out.

NEED EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS OF HOLY COMMUNION (EMHC’s) AND DRIVERS TO MASS

A few good men, women or families who are EMHC’s and would like to help with assisted living or homebound visits. Many different times available. Goal is to “double up” with someone so you can split the load or take over when someone cannot be there. Most people go to the home or assisted living facilities or hospital once or twice a month, you pick. Very flexible times. This is a rewarding ministry where you meet with, pray with and bring Jesus to our parishioners who are not able to get to Church. We need help on Sundays and then flexible times during the week. Also can use subs. Must be a commissioned EMHC.

I would also love to hear from drivers who are coming to church on Sunday anyway and have an extra seat in their car who could drop by and pick up parishioners who are not able to drive to Mass. The parishioner will be flexible to your choice of Mass, and will be able to get into your car with minimal assist and, at worst, a folding walker or wheelchair. This is an intermittent ministry that I get requests for infrequently. I would like to know your choice of 1st, 2nd, 3rd , 4th or 5th Sunday of the month and will call you when and if you are needed. Please contact Jean in the office if you can help as an EMHC or driver 913-681-3348 or [email protected].

For questions contact Jean at [email protected].

PUBLIC SQUARE ROSARY September 3, Noon Parking Lot

Currently, the United States is suffering from our country's secularism attempts to remove God from our society. But without God, where will our leaders get their wisdom to solve the great issues we face today? We must counter today's immoral and secularist trends with public prayers. We must ask God, through the Rosary of His Most Holy Mother to save America. Saint Louis de Montfort said: "Public prayer is far more powerful than private prayer at appeasing God and calling down His mercy in times of public concern, tragedy and suffering”. Help pray for our country by praying a Public Rosary.

The Public Square Rosary will be held at 12:00pm noon on the first Saturday of each month. Come join us on September 3. For question contact Dick Kane at [email protected].

ASCENSION THIS WEEK (Continued)

CHRIST RENEWS HIS PARISH WEEKEND RETREATS Sign Up Now! Beginning September 10 Ascension

Christ Renews His Parish weekend retreat has been a part of our parish spiritual formation since 2004. This weekend overnight retreat will take place for the men of Ascension on September 10 and 11, and for the women of Ascension on September 24 and 25. Registration is filling up quickly. We invite all parishioners to prayerfully consider attending this spiritually enriching experience. There are registration forms in the gathering area and in the parish office. You can also register on-line at kcascension.org, and clicking on the picture on the Home Page of our website. Please call Blair Dobbeleare 913-777-8515 or Bob Bregant 913-669-8505 should you have any questions.

DID YOU KNOW? We love to see families in church, however, we know that little ones occasionally have bad days. Ascension has a nursery available during 8:15am and 10:00am Masses for walking-age children free of charge. Also, there is a cry room located in the back of the Church.

BLOOD DRIVE September 12, 1:00PM-5:30PM Parish Hall

“Whatsoever you do to the least of my people

that you do unto me.” Work of Mercy: Care for the Sick

We need donors! Be a “LIFE SAVER”, be a hero and give the gift of life this fall. Reserve the date!!!

A 2007 University of Minnesota study estimated that about one third of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood. However, the number of people who actually choose to donate is far fewer. Currently, the Kansas City-based Community Blood Center, which provides 70 area hospitals with 3,600 units of blood each week, describes its supply as critical; meaning the supply for hospitals and patients is stretched thin. This limits elective surgery and can postpone life saving treatments.

To make an advanced appointment go to kcascension.org, then Get Involved/Service Opportunities/Care for the Sick/Blood Drive or click on “Quick Links, Current Volunteer Sign-ups,” on the Home Page or just walk in!!!

FAMILY FORMATION

Do you want to be more involved in your child’s faith formation? Ascension Parish offers a program called Family Formation which aims to equip parents to be the primary educators of their children’s faith. It meets on the first Wednesday of each month September-May. Children go to their grade level classroom and parents stay and grow in their faith in the parish hall and then we send home the next three weeks of lessons for you as parents to do with your children at home. Last year we had 130 families participating.

Anyone who has children K-6 grade is welcome to be a part of it. Please call the Youth Faith Formation Office for more information 913-681-7683. What are people saying about it:

~ “My husband is able to be involved in our children’s faith formation now where before that was not as easy to make happen.”

~ “Our family has grown in our faith through talking together about the lessons and learning more about our Catholic Faith.”

~ “I love the monthly guest speakers that help me learn and grow more in my Catholic Faith-it’s wonderful!”

The role of Sacred Music is to --edify (lift up) and sanctify ((us) Music clothes the text and makes it integral to our prayer.

Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time Partying with Angels While the first reading from Sirach and the Gospel focus on humility ("Humble yourself . . . and you will find favor with God" [Sirach 3:18] and "go and take the lowest place" [Luke 14:10], with a surprise reversal of the humble being exalted), the reading from Hebrews surprises us in a different way. The author uses apocalyptic imagery to show how much the relationship between God and humanity has changed. He starts with images of fire, storms, and trumpet blasts--images that may remind you of an erupting volcano: something you want to view from very far away. Even God's words brought fear and trembling. It may not be surprising that God is beyond human comprehension, but Hebrews says no. God doesn't want to be so far beyond us that we only approach in fear. Using more images from the end-time, the author gives us a picture of the baptized partying with angels and all the just who have died. And of course God is the host. Let's look at some of those images to see how our relationship with the Lord has grown. The heavenly Jerusalem reminds us that the Church is our home--not just our parish church building but the whole community of faith. How "at home" are you with your fellow parishioners? Do you regularly gather with that family for prayer? A church community can be a place to support those who are sick or jobless or depressed. It is also a place to be supported, to see God's love in action. The angels in Hebrews may be a symbol of that support. The "firstborn" and "spirits of the just" could remind us of those who went before us and now rest in the Lord. They had their own struggles in life, and now live in glory. They help us to keep our true goal in mind, to remember the real meaning of life, and to look forward to eternal life with hope. Jesus came to show us how much God loves us and how close God can be. When he shed his blood on the cross (the final sign in our reading), he renewed the covenant with God's people. So we no longer have to accomplish our salvation; it has already been offered to us by Jesus' death and resurrection. We accept that gift not just by a verbal statement of faith, but by a life lived as Jesus showed us, in love of God and our neighbor.

SCHOOL ACS is an exceptional place for faith formation, even over the summer! Families were encouraged to continue growing in virtue through fun activities which were planned by our virtue committee. At the end of last school year, students were given virtue bingo cards. Each time they competed an activity, they were able to cross out the activity on the card. Activities included things like going to adoration during the week, or helping an elderly person with a task, or helping around the house without complaining. The cards had many choices! Once a row was filled on the card, the student earned a chance in a drawing for prizes! This was a super fun way to encourage virtuous behavior while away from school for the summer. Way to go ACS!

MARRIAGE MINUTE August 28

What is the opposite of love? If you said hate, you’re probably in agreement with most people, but John Paul II had a different opinion. He wrote that love’s opposite is use. In today’s Gospel, Jesus asks his disciples to examine their intentions as they invite guests to a party. Did they invite someone only to get an invite in return? It may seem strange, but even in marriage, we need to guard against using one another. We can check the purity of our intentions by asking ourselves, -Am I performing a kind act in order to get a specific response from my spouse? -Is this action coming from a joyful heart, or out of a desire to not “be in the doghouse?” -Do I keep track of good deeds, words or even intimacy? If you find you answered “yes,” ask Jesus to purify your intentions.
