God bless you!

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

I hope you’re all managing to stay well while the county’s Covid cases are on the rise. Our parish is doing its part in keeping you safe by moving back into the courtyard. This week’s songs should all be quite familiar and you can find the words in this attachment.

The Gospel this week is the parable about the master who gave talents to his servants. Always on the hunt for songs that echo the readings, I found a few about this one.

The ‘talents’ in this parable are often interpreted to be the gifts or talents that God has given us, hence the following choice: ‘We All Have Gifts to Share’ by Susan Kay Wyatts https://youtu.be/G8vfPPfQ0bo

‘Open Hands’ by Ashley Nicole Barney https://youtu.be/A3QQMiLDCWE

‘Parable Song’ by the Seeds This one deals with many parables we’ve heard in the readings in the last couple of months.  https://youtu.be/EpNvyLKXNYk

‘Amatalanta’ by Timothy Namikuta from Lusaka, Zambia. This one is a real change of pace. I’m taking their word for it that this song is about this Gospel!
https://youtu.be/QShMWD6kNMo

And to close us out for today, a beautiful song by Amy Grant, ‘Thy Word’
https://youtu.be/a6LC8cu03Ig

I hope you enjoy them all! Have a great week. May God bless you with safety and good health.

Christmas Tree Sale Fundraiser

Nov 11 2020

Announcements
Christmas Tree Sale Fundraiser

Have you ordered your Christmas Tree/Wreath from the Summit Youth Ministry yet? If not, the last day to order is THIS SUNDAY NOVEMBER 15th!

Christmas may look different this year, but that’s not stopping us from our annual Christmas Tree Sales Fundraiser to support our Youth Ministry programs and activities! All proceeds from the Tree Sale go directly towards programs that enrich our teens in Youth Ministry!

These are high-quality trees cut fresh the day they leave from Oregon! They are beautiful trees that smell absolutely GLORIOUS and last a VERY long time. Again, the proceeds go to our youth ministry and will help get teens scholarships for retreats, improvements for the youth room, and more!

In addition, you can purchase a Tree or Wreath and have it sent to a local military family via the “Trees for Troops” program. This is a great option for those families that use a fake tree or will be out of town for Christmas, and this will still benefit our youth ministry as we will still receive proceeds from this purchase!

There are 2 ways to buy!

  1. In person with cash or check after all the Masses THIS weekend, November 14th and 15th. If you need to, you can also order at the Church office during our office hours.
  2. Online at this link: http://sacredheartob.org/youth-ministry/christmas-tree-sale-fundraiser/

After the pre-order you can pick up your tree at our festive tree lot on Sunday, December 6th from 8:30-1:00PM at the Church courtyard!

LAST DAY TO ORDER IS NOVEMBER 15th!

For more information on how to order a tree or wreath, go here: http://sacredheartob.org/youth-ministry/christmas-tree-sale-fundraiser/

Thanks so much everybody, and let me be the very first to say…MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

The music for this week’s Mass is mostly well known although the song for preparation is one we haven’t sung in a long while. Here is a link for that song, ‘I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light’ https://youtu.be/8SpBgnvx_JA

This week the theme of the readings is Wisdom. I found a few songs matching that theme to share with you. You can download the lyrics here.

‘Wisdom’ by a group from Vanuatu called He Speaks https://youtu.be/RKRXr-ImlUs

‘Wisdom Song’ by Laura Woodley Osman https://youtu.be/tMnIVe4-QUY

‘Perfect Wisdom of Our God’ by Keith and Kristyn Getty https://youtu.be/hSnzYnOe6kI

‘Wisdom and Grace’ https://youtu.be/T0JNlCaihnc

And the last song that I will share with you today is one that resonates for me with all that’s going on in our country and our world right now, ‘In Need’ by Praise and Harmony. https://youtu.be/smm1cFRjz3I

God bless you all and keep you safe and healthy in these unsettled times.

This week’s bulletin is here.

God bless you!

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

This week we are celebrating the Feast of All Saints and during our Mass this week we will be having the candle procession to remember the members of the congregation who passed away this past year. Here is a link to the music lyrics. There is only one song that you may not be familiar with, ‘Carry Me Home’ that I’ll be singing for Preparation of the Gifts in honor of all of our deceased loved ones. Here is a link to hear it:  https://youtu.be/5bwMWMTJ2Q4

This week’s Gospel is The Sermon on the Mount so I have two Beatitudes songs to share: ‘Beatitudes’ by Jami Smith https://youtu.be/sd9HQyLbXdo
and ‘The Sermon on the Mount’ by the Kingdom Heirs  https://youtu.be/xdDzzNQhYZo

The next song is for All Saints: ‘Your Heart’ by Chris Tomlin  https://youtu.be/oNlgG_-wjpM

The next two songs are more in keeping with All Souls Day, remembering those friends and family that we have lost:

‘The Gathering of Spirits’ by Carrie Newcomer  https://youtu.be/M1WrNisRhDU

and ‘Go in Peace’ by Sarah Hart. https://youtu.be/xod_35I91aY This song is in our missal, Breaking Bread #669.

The last share of the day should cheer you up, now that I’ve made you all sad. There are a hundred different interpretations of ‘When the Saints Go Marching In’ on YouTube including ones by Louis Armstrong, B.B. King, Fats Domino and Elvis Presley, but this one from an Andre Rieu concert is absolutely joyful: https://youtu.be/5K1Th64YGCs

Stay safe, stay healthy and God bless.
