It is a popular notion to think that everybody needs a little “me time”.  Maybe it’s a walk, or a quiet round of golf, or some porch time, or a nice drive in the country, or a comfy sit in a hammock or a swing, or a swim, or a bike ride, or … well, you get the idea.
Today’s Gospel (Mark 6:30-34) tells the account of Jesus gathering His Apostles for just that “me time”. Jesus said to His Apostles, and to us, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while”. That didn’t last too long because people flocked to Jesus and the 12. Our “me time” doesn’t need to last long either. But may I suggest that it should be a little more frequent than we usually allow. And may I offer that our “me time” most regularly include “His time”. Listen. Unplug. Rest in Him. Have peace. Ahhh.

Junior High Youth Group
PLEASE JOIN US ON SUNDAY, JULY 25 FOR A JUNIOR HIGH YOUTH GROUP GATHERING FROM 6:30 – 8:30PM AT
ALL SAINTS. “PIZZA, PRAY & PLAY” IS FOR ALL THOSE ENTERING 7^TH or 8^TH GRADE AT ANY SCHOOL.
We plan to be outside for most of the evening, and we do plan a brief in-Church visit. This is a rain or shine gathering … we’ll be out front or back by the Father Dennis Pavilion.  We welcome lots of kids from lots of schools; we hope you join us.
Permission forms are at www.allsaints.cc or complete one from us on the 25^th.
We only need you to complete the form once per year. We hope you will join us!

HOW (Highschoolers of the Well … it’s a kinda cool story)
If you are an incoming Freshman, Sophomore, Junior or Senior, at any high school, we look forward to welcoming you to HOW!
We’ll gather on Monday July 26 from 7:00 – 8:30PM at All Saints!
We’re not a club. Come when you can. Bring a friend if you want. Treat yourself to 90 minutes of relax, refresh, reflect, rejuvenate, refocus, rekindle, reconnect. We’ll also gather on Monday August 9, same time.
Give HOW a try or two. We think you’ll be glad you did. We will be!

Welcome Back
Receiving Jesus in the Eucharist is the greatest thing we ever do, ever. Please come back to Mass so you can receive Jesus fully, completely, selflessly, enthusiastically, reverently, joyfully, gratefully, humbly, lovingly.
