Reflections on the Run
H
Times
The real “ID”
ave you noticed that identity checks
are picking up? Not only are they
the only way to get on an airplane, but
ID opens up all types of avenues for us.
Your ID is so very important that you must
protect it from people who would want to
take it.
Vacation Bible School – help needed!
Have you ever thought about the “real identity.” There is only one that makes any difference for all eternity, and that’s
our identity with the Lord Jesus. If we’re known as one of His, and we’re
following Him, we have an identity that last forever, and no one can take it
away from us. Without that identity, we tend to be lost, confused and with
very little, if any, future.
When you check your spiritual ID, where do you find yourself? God’s desire
is that you will find yourself in Jesus’ flock and known for being an active part
of His ministry.
Father Charles B. Fulton+
With our 2015 Vacation Bible
School just a few months away,
we need your help to make
sure this is another successful
effort. “Everest” VBS is open
for all children in grades K-5. It
will take place from July 13-17,
and will teach children that, in
spite of obstacles that we face
in life, nothing is impossible
with God on our side. Your support is needed, from providing
materials and food for the week
to volunteering to help lead a
small group. Please see Doug DeBolt or Rosemarie Ward to find out how you
can help! The success of St. Jude’s VBS depends on you!
St. Jude’s is a Christian community whose commitment to faith
and works in action demands responsibility for pastoral care of
God’s people and the evangelization of our world.

Greeting our guests
Heads up!
Altar flowers
Every dollar
Many of us already know each other
from our services and other activities.
But each week, we have guests at
St. Jude’s who we don’t know. It’s not
only courteous, but also a service to
the Lord to greet our guests with open
arms and hearts. When you notice a
new face or family, greet them and
make them feel welcome. Invite them
to the parish hall after the service and
introduce them to other members of
St. Jude’s. Remember, strangers are
just friends we haven’t met yet.
There are exciting things happening
at St. Jude’s Church! Our music
program has a whole new life, and
our congregation is responding
amazingly well to it. This is just one
of the ministry opportunities available at St. Jude’s that you should
consider. These ministries are
God’s way of reaching out to this
area. Contact Doug DeBolt, Father
Fulton or Father Austin to find out
how to get plugged in to new hope,
new ministry and new life.
This week’s altar
flowers are gifted
anonymously in
loving memory of
Lionel Quimby.
Every dollar counts for St. Jude’s.
We carefully pray over how we
spend our money, and do pray
that you trust us with your time,
treasure and talent. Please be
generous, and give us an opportunity at St. Jude’s to multiply your
giving through the power of God to
strengthen St. Jude’s through her
ministries and beyond. – CBF
