Jim Dietrich Park –

Muhlenberg Township

NEXT WEEK!

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. Can you sign up for a 2-hour shift?

If you are interested in volunteering use the sign-up sheet in the vestibule at mass this week or email allsoulsecc@gmail.com.

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

**Mass will not be held on Sunday, July 20

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 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. Place your donation (check or cash) in an envelope marked MMS and deposit in the collection basket

any time during the month of July. (If donating by check, please make it out to ECC and on the memo line list MMS.)
