The Traditional Word:     “In the course of their meal, having taken and blessed the bread, he broke it and gave it to them.  Then he said, “Take, this is my body.”  Taking the chalice, he gave it to them, thanking God, and they all drank from it.  He said, “This is God’s new covenant, poured out for many people.  I’ll not be drinking wine again until the new day when I drink it in the kingdom of God.”

 

 

 

First Anthem             “Locu Iste a Deo Factus”

Locu iste a deo factus est,Inaestimabile sacramentum; Irreprehensibilis est

 

Translation: This place was made by God, a priceless mystery.

 

 

Second Anthem       “Ave Verum”

Ave verum Corpus natum de Maria Virginne.

Vere passum, immolatum in cruce pro homine

Cujus latusperforratum unda fluxit et sanquine

Esto nobis prae gustatum in mortis examine

 

Translation: Jesu, word of God incarnate, of the Virgin Mary born.

On the cross, thy sacred body for us all with nails was torn.

Cleanse us by the blood and water streaming from Thy pierced side.

Feed us with Thy body, broken now and in death’s agony

 Words to “Love in Any Language” solo by Heather Grohe

Je t’aime
Te amo

Ya ti-bya lyu blyu
Ani o hev ot cha
I love you

The sounds are all as different
As the lands from which they came
And though the words are all unique
Our hearts are still the same

Love in any language
Straight from the heart
Pulls us all together
Never apart
And once we learn to speak it
All the world will hear
Love in any language
Fluently spoken here

We teach the young our differences
Yet look how we’re the same
We love to laugh, to dream our dreams
We know the sting of pain

From Paraguay to Pakistan
The farmer loves his land
And daddies all get misty-eyed
To give their daughter’s hand

Oh maybe when we realize
How much there is to share
We’ll find too much in common
To pretend it isn’t there

Love in any language
Straight from the heart
Pulls us all together
Never apart
And once we learn to speak it
All the world will hear
Love in any language
Fluently spoken here

Though the rhetoric of government
May keep us worlds apart
There’s no misinterpreting
The language of the heart

Love in any language
Straight from the heart
Pulls us all together
Never apart
And once we learn to speak it
All the world will hear
Love in any language
Fluently spoken here

Love in any language
Straight from the heart
Pulls us all together
Never apart
And once we learn to speak it
All the world will hear
Love in any language
Fluently spoken here

Love in any language
Straight from the heart
Pulls us all together
Never apart
And once we learn to speak it
All the world will hear
Love in any language
Fluently spoken here

Love in any language
Fluently spoken here

Love in any language
Fluently spoken here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honor’s Day

 

The Christian Education Board is going to have “Award day” on Oct 13th, the second Sunday in October. That is the day you should wear to church any award you’ve received in your life. 

They can be sports medals, art ribbons, military medals, scholastic and humanitarian awards or any other award you are proud to have been presented. 

Because not all heroic acts are recognized, we have printed up life-growth awards for those unsung heroes privately suffering the slings and arrows of life. These are achievements you know you have done, others are typically not aware of. 

Look through the list and select ones you would be willing to display on your badge that day and talk about in Fellowship Hall.

They will be for sale in Fellowship Hall at a $1.00 each, today and also October 6—then you will wear your metal on October 13th.

The children’s medals will be free.

These are I am loved medals.

 

 

 

 

Open insert to see the choices of medals.
