Good News from All Souls – 08/03/2024

Weekly News & Bulletin

August 3, 2024

Sunday: 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time

LAST SUNDAY TO GIVE TO MARY MAGDALINE SOCIETY.

Since we didn’t have service on July 21 – we have extended our special offering collection for the MMS. Please consider even a small donation this week! (See below for more information)

All Souls will have a tent and table at Berks Pride Fest. The event runs from 11:00-6:00 PM and is held at Jim Dietrich Park in Muhlenberg. The event is rain or shine. We always need help with this event as some of our board members are involved with Reading/Berks Pride and will be helping out with the festival itself.

Please see any board member if you interested in volunteering or sign up using the sign-up sheet in the vestibule.

^Volunteers will be provided with a wrist band for entry.

**Mass will not be held on Sunday, July 21st!

Mary Magdalene Feast Day is July 22.  

Let us join together to celebrate July

as Mary Magdalene month

and Christmas in July.

The ECC community is experiencing the need for clergy to sustain our growth. We face the challenge of shepherding our communities into an inclusive future in which all our clergy are representative of the church where all are welcomed and included. 

To all parishioners – Please consider making a special direct donation during the month of July to MMS in honor of and in gratitude for the clergy serving your parish community.  

Perhaps your donation may be the equivalent cost of a Starbucks coffee drink, a double dip ice cream, a Dunkin’ donut and coffee, Krispy Kreme donuts, a favorite beverage or simply put, a donation that comes from a more generous heart.  

Donate any Sunday in July by marking “special offering” and writing MMS on your envelope in the offering plate. Or if donating via ZELLE, please indicate that it is for July Special Offering/MMS.
