Another date to save – Father’s Day is Sunday June 19th, and on that day an opera group from Elgin will perform in concert at Holy Innocents at 3pm!
More information will be forthcoming.
Last Week, This Week
The readings for the previous week for the first Sunday in Trinity are here.
The readings for this Sunday, May 29:
Deuteronomy 11:18-21,26-28
Romans 3:21-25a,28
Matthew 7:21-27
Psalm 31 or 31:1-5,19-24
The Gospel reading:
Matthew 7:21-27
Jesus said. “Not everyone who says to me, `Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. On that day many will say to me, `Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?’ Then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.’
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell– and great was its fall!”
Let us all look to our own foundations (literal and spiritual) in preparation for this reading!
Classic Car Show July 10 9am to 330pm!
Save the date – the second annual Holy Innocents Classic Car Show returns Sunday, July 10. The event begins at 9am (car exhibitors arrive earlier than that to pick out a good spot). Car entries will be parked on our capacious lawn, and there will be food, prizes, activities, and surprises galore. This fundraiser will benefit both the church and the Schaumburg Food Pantry.
Services that day will take place, though possibly at a special time, so check back for updates. If you can’t be there to volunteer, there will still be plenty of ways to contribute your time or talents. We’re looking for food and prize donations, baked goods to be sold, and volunteers willing to contact the neighbors to let them know about the event so they can possibly plan to hold a garage sale.
If you’re interested in entering a car, leave a message at the church office at 847-885-7900, or watch this space for registration information. Last year we had 40 cars, and this year we could easily double that number, so act now.
