Are we supposed to understand everything that we read in Scripture. I hope not, because if we are, I, among others, are woefully deficient.  Much of the New Testament is straightforward. We understand many (or we think we do), even most of the parables Jesus taught us as He taught His early disciples. Some passages, chapters, verses, parables, examples, accounts are hard to follow or interpret. We’re working with limited human minds.
Maybe that we’re trying is good. Maybe the more we read, pray about, and ponder, the more we’ll find its meaning in our life.  Let’s keep trying. Let’s revel in those words that give us immediate peace, direction, encouragement, understanding, compassion and more. Let’s read and absorb that which our limitations don’t enable us to understand, with the hope that as we keep on trying, we are trying to keep on. Keep the faith. Read Scripture. Keep trying!

Junior High Youth Group

Well, that was terrific! Last Sunday lots of 7^th & 8^th grade parishioners from lots of schools gathered for a great night in the Youth Room. Saints, souls, treats, some tricks, giving thanks, signs, fun, food, and faith all made for a wonderful evening.
Look here for details of our next Junior High gathering.  

HOW (Highschoolers of the Well … it’s a kinda cool story)

We will gather HOW on Monday November 7  from 7:00-8:30PM in the All Saints’ Youth Room.
24 high school kids from 9 high schools joined us for an evening of fun, food, and faith. These young disciples beautifully participated in Best & Worst with emphasis on their work as disciples of Jesus. There were some amazing testimonies. Our beautiful Church was the setting for 20 minutes of the kids teaching each other … evangelizing what they read and interpreted from a selection of five Gospels. So powerful when kids lead kids! What a great night! All high school students, from all schools, are always very welcome. Come join us for 90 minutes of relax, refresh, renew, refocus, rekindle. You’ll like the kids you’re with, and you’ll like you being at HOW.  There are probably as many reasons why kids come to HOW as there are kids that come to HOW .. for whatever reason you have, give this a try. HOW may be exactly what you’re looking for. HOW is the Holy Spirit working in you?!

We are collecting coats & hats & gloves & scarves for the Saint Joseph West End Pantry and Holy Family School in Price Hill and Hope’s Closet.
Please look through your closet to see if you have some warm gear that you would like to give to folks who may be cold this winter without a hand-up.
You might also consider buying a new coat for someone you’ll never meet.
PLEASE BRING YOUR DONATIONS TO THE ALL SAINTS’ YOUTH ROOM STEPS BY SUNDAY NOVEMBER 13.
The Youth Room is located BELOW the WEST SIDE of the NORTH WING OF ALL SAINTS CHURCH.
The North Wing Church Entrance (Moeller side) is the most convenient.
