TWENTY FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Peter gets a nickname—“Rock!” Why? Not because he is strong and unshakeable. Remember two weeks ago when he took a trip on the water, and I mean a trip. Not because he is steady and firm. Wait until next week when “blessed” turns to “Satan.” And certainly not because he is reliable. Who can forget the big denial!

Peter gets his nickname because by his faith he allows God’s revelation of his Son to be written in stone. The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen. With all his warts, Peter proves that we as Church can make what we hope for as real, and what is unseen as evident, as a rock. Jesus the Christ!

THE BUS TO KIDSRELIG

Every year, a Volunteer Parent Committee arranges for bus service to (and not from) KidsRelig for Seven Bridges and the 3 Chappaqua elementary schools. This service is not provided by the parish. We are always grateful for all the hard work of the Committee in making these arrangements.

Watch your email inboxes within the next week for information about the bus service. And please register as soon as possible.

Love,

Deacon Charlie
