From the Parish Health Corner

Balance of Mind + Body + Spirit = Good Health 

Mind:  Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.  Goethe

 

Body:  For the best stress relief possible, cultivate an attitude of prayer.  It doesn’t matter what words you use – the thing that makes the difference is what you believe in your heart when you pray.  Praying (talking to God) might not actually change the situation you are facing, but it changes your attitude about it – or in other words how you react to it.

 

Spirit:  [O God} help me to believe the intensity, the eternity of the love that has found me. Then love will cast out fear; and my troubled heart will be at peace, trusting not in what I am but in what You have declared yourself to be. Amen. 

AW Tozer

 

Did you know?  In the third year of CC’s existence, it was decided that although the official birthday of CC is July 11^th, the second Sunday in July each year would be the celebration day.  Somewhere along the way, this tradition seems to have been lost in the shuffle.

 

JULY LECTOR’S MEETING - Continuing formation for the role of lay lector will take place on Tuesday, July 29, 7:30 - 9:30 pm in rooms 6/9 located behind the Stone Mountain Room. Parishioners interested in becoming lectors are invited and/or may call Claudette at 770-985-9635 for information.

STEWARDSHIP - An Invitation to Give

God Bless you for remembering that our church’s operating costs don’t go on Summer Vacation.

 

Perpetual Adoration: A small child came into the chapel while I was there. Her grandmother pointed to the Host and said, “That is Jesus”. The little girl just looked in awe at the host and as they were leaving the child said, “This is Jesus’ special home.” Jesus is truly and substantially present in the Blessed Sacrament, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Come and visit Jesus at his ‘special home’; He would welcome your presence. Call Chris Paciorek at 770-469-6535 for more information. God bless you.
