PARISH LEADERSHIP

committee? Of being actively involved in the workings

consider signing up to serve on one of our committees?

No experience necessary – we just appreciate your input

and advice!

“The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit

that we are children of God, and if children then

heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ…”

- Romans 8:16-17

If we are heirs to the kingdom of God, shouldn’t we

work to build up His kingdom? Shouldn’t we be good

stewards of our inheritance, using our time in prayer,

our talent in charitable works and our treasure to care

for the Church that God has left to us? Our Church is

a treasured heirloom from God. Do we treat it that

way?

Weekly Readings

for the week of May 27

PICK UP YOUR HARVEST FEST

RAFFLE TICKETS

Our annual parish picnic, Harvest Fest, is August

19th. Please mark your calendars now so that you

will be able to join us. The picnic is an important

way to celebrate our parish community.

Each year we are grateful for the generous response

of donations, time and interest. Last year was very

successful, everyone had a great time!

Please note : Due to state regulations regarding

raffles, we are required to track all tickets for the

raffle. To make this requirement easier to manage,

we have made the following changes:

• Tickets are $5.00 each, or 6 tickets for $25.00.

This greatly reduces the number of tickets we

have to track.

• Each envelope is numbered and contains 6

tickets. This is the same dollar commitment we

have put in the envelopes in prior years ($25

for 30 tickets), but fewer tickets to fill out and

track.

• Please take any envelope/s from the basket and

print your name on the tracking sheet by the

tickets with the corresponding number on your

envelope. For example, if you take envelope #4,

then next to #4 on the tracking sheet you

would print your name.

• Very Important: If you are unable to sell your

tickets, please return any unsold tickets to the

parish.

When filling out your tickets, please only have one

name on the ticket—if you use an address label that

shows both husband and wife, please cross one name

off.

We need your help! Each year we have a shortage of

volunteers. Please consider getting involved in one of

the areas of the picnic. It is a great way to spend time

with your family and meet new parishioners as well!

Only two hours of your time will make a big difference

in the success of our picnic.

GARDEN CLUB

tools. We weed and beautify the two areas. If there are

our parish website, www.stedwardisidore.org, and click

on the link below the Lifetouch picture to schedule

your photography session. We have many openings the

There is no cost to you unless you wish to purchase

additional pictures, and you will receive one free 8x10

photo and the new directory.

ENGAGE by WORD ON FIRE

The parish has acquired the Engage program from

Word on Fire to help us learn more about the Catholic

faith. You will receive a short video each week via

email from our parish and have access to all the videos

on their website. To sign up, just give your email

address or cell phone number to Lori to be added to

the site. You can email Lori at

lflanagan@stedwardisidore.org or call her at 865-7844.

There are also cards in the Gathering Space that you

can complete and return to Lori. Finally, you can sign

up yourself by texting JoinEngage to 84576.

CEMETERY INFORMATION

HONORING OUR

VETERANS

We will be honoring our

Veterans with the

placement of flags on their

gravesites for a 2—week period beginning May 23rd. A

group of parish members who are also Veterans will be

placing the flags, so we are doing it “Flintville

style”. We feel confident that we have identified the

graves of every Veteran buried in our cemetery, but

should you be aware of one we missed please contact

the parish office. All flags will be placed in line with

the monuments to facilitate grass cutting during those

2 weeks.

MISSIONARY COOPERATION 2018

June 9—10

My name is Fr. Maurice Mmegbuadimma. People

usually ask me here, “how do you pronounce your last

name?” My response is usually, “never mind.” Call me

by my first name. We may need a speech therapist to

assist us in pronouncing that last name. It is a full

sentence. It literally means, “cheating is not good.” As

a concept it means “justice.” I have been a parochial

vicar at St. Peter the Fisherman Parish since 2014. My

home diocese is Ahiara in Nigeria.

The Missionary cooperation program of the Diocese of

Green Bay is an awesome tool of evangelization. It is

one way of heeding the call from “Macedonia” (Acts

16:9) to assist our brothers and sisters in parts of the

world needing help. My diocese is still very young and

located in rural South East part of Nigeria. The

location of the diocese necessarily demands ministries

to assist the local population. One of those necessary

ministries is hospital ministry. The government

hospital in the diocese is relatively functional and

barely provides basic medical services. To assist in

bridging this gap of poor medical service to the

population, my diocese started a construction of a

medical facility to help the rural poor of the diocese.

This facility is meant to care for pregnant women and

children and assist in tropical health challenges like

malaria treatment and prevention. The construction is

on-going by the generosity of people like you. We are

grateful for your care and generosity. Thanks.

8 Tips for a Healthy Heart

Follow these tips to ward off heart disease

Think of your heart as a metronome. It keeps the beat

to your body’s daily functions, pushing blood near and

far to nourish every cell and fiber. As a powerhouse

organ, you’ll want to keep your heart in tip-top shape,

especially because diabetes can up your risk for heart

disease.

1. Exercise more. You don’t have to run five miles

daily to get a good workout. Just taking more steps,

if you’re counting, can have a benefit. “It’s

important to build some regular activity into your

life.”

2. Sit less. Many of us spend our days in a seated

position—whether at work, driving, watching TV, or

using a computer. “A recent paper basically said

that … if you’re sedentary more than 10 hours a day

that correlates with risk for vascular disease.” You

may have to get creative to reduce your sitting time.

Maybe going for a stroll around the office every 60

or 90 minutes is an option. Or ask your employer to

consider standing desks, treadmill desks, or pedal

work stations.

3. Eat well. The Mediterranean diet, the Therapeutic

Lifestyle Changes diet, and the DASH diet all have

benefits for people with diabetes or to prevent heart

disease.

4. Slash sugar. Small changes can have big benefits:

Cut out sugar-sweetened beverages, foods with added

sugars, processed carbohydrates (white bread, white

rice, and white potatoes, for instance), and curb your

alcohol intake. Alcohol is fermented sugar, and

when your body breaks it down, it becomes sugar.

5. Set goals. Losing weight and maintaining weight

require different behaviors, but both are important.

When losing weight, don’t get fixated on an ideal

number. You can make significant gains in health

and the treatment of diabetes, and other risk factors

related to diabetes, with very modest weight loss.

6. Manage stress. Exercise, meditation, relaxation,

music, and art help with stress management and

heart health. Stress releases hormones in our body,

and many of these hormones raise our blood sugar

and make it harder for our diabetes to get under

good control.

7. Sleep better. Much like stress, poor sleep can raise

stress hormones. Six to eight hours is probably the

ideal amount of sleep for most adults. One thing

that can make getting a good night sleep difficult for

people with diabetes is sleep apnea, a condition

many people don’t even realize they have. Symptoms

include loud snoring, spells where you stop breathing

at night, and excessive sleepiness during the day.

Talk with your doctor if you experience any of these.

It could be affecting your glucose control and upping

your risk for hypertension and heart disease.

Know your numbers. Keep track of your health stats

using a chart or log. Check your blood pressure and

blood glucose regularly, and be aware of your most

current blood test results, including A1C and

cholesterol. Source: Diabetes Forecast and American Heart Association.

Take care of your Beautiful Heart,

Carol Mueller, Parish Nurse
