BOY SCOUT TROOP 36 NEWS
10 MILE RIVER WHITE WATER RAFTING TRIP
At 10 Mile River we set up our tents and our kitchen for when it was time to cook. After about 20 minutes the bus came to pick us up to go rafting. While we were rafting we connected the boats together and made one big boat. When we were done rafting we went back to our campsite and had to set up a fire pit. The original fire pit was too big and we would not be able to handle it. We made a new fire pit by taking out all of the ashes and putting rocks in a smaller formation. For dinner we had hotdogs and hamburgers. Liam tried to make spaghetti for himself but mistakes were made. The next morning we had cereal for breakfast and after that we went home from there.
The winner of the 26-Week Clubfor Week 23 is #38 Frances McGuigan. The seller is the Church.
ATTENTION: 1969 Ladycliff Academy Graduates: It is time for our fiftieth reunion. Please contact JoAnn (Perky) Gair Wilson at jgairwilson@gmail.com

Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary TimeFirst Reading: 1 Kings 17:10-16
Elijah asked a widow for a cup of water and a piece of bread. She told him she was almost out of flour, and that she and her son would soon starve. Elijah told her not to be afraid, as God had told him the jar of flour would not go empty. So she did as he had asked and prepared bread from the last of her flour. As God had said, her jar did not go empty, and she and her son had plenty to eat.
Second Reading: Hebrews 9:24-28
The high priests entered the sanctuary each year and offered a sacrifice, but not a sacrifice of their own blood. Just as people die once and are judged, Christ was offered up once for the sins of many.
Gospel: Mark 12:38-44
Jesus expressed disgust over the hypocrisy of some of the scribes for wanting special treatment from the people. He watched the wealthy put large contributions into the collection box, but explained that what they gave was surplus wealth, and not a real sacrifice. He told them the biggest donation was a small amount from a widow, because she had given up the only money that she had to live on.
