We try, as a courtesy, to mention these intentions by name. For various reasons, this is not always possible. We will only reschedule
published Masses if we need to cancel a Mass.
May Christ dwell in our hear s through faith,
and may charit be the root and foundation of our life.
Amen.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM NEWS AND INFORMATION
In a loving, nurturing environment, St. Martha Religious Education Program guides each student to develop his
or her unique ability and potential through prayer, study, and service.
Crazy Church Soccer Camp!
Monday, August 3rd- Thursday, August
6th
6:00-7:30 PM each evening
at the St. Martha Soccer Field
All children are invited to join us as we
have some fun practicing soccer drills, playing a few ‘backyard”
soccer games, and getting crazy learning about God!! This is not your run of the mill soccer
camp and you won’t become an expert soccer player by the end of the week. But, you will
have a great time kicking the ball around with friends, old and new in a Christian, family
friendly environment:) All of this for just a $5 donation to help with snacks. Save the date
and look for registration forms on our website-www.st-Martha.org and on the
bulletin board outside of the school office.
Teens and adults- as always, your expertise is needed!! Call
or email Jackie Rosalez at 517-349-1763 or parishdre@stmartha.org for more information!!
All children ages 4-10 are invited to join us
every Sunday during the 10:00 Mass for our
Children’s Liturgy of the Word. Father Jon will
invite children to come forward after the
opening prayer. We will then go downstairs and
have our own age appropriate readings, Gospel,
prayer, songs and lesson. The children will then
rejoin their parents in church during the offering. There is no cost and no need to register,
this is for everyone!! If you have any questions, just call the parish office at 349-1763.
Religious Education begins and continues at home.
Parents, you are your child’s prime example of how to
live as Jesus did. Don’t forget that this summer as we
get so very busy. Be sure to find a church and attend
when on vacation, pray at meals (even in a restaurant)
and bedtime, listen to some Bible Stories, Christian
CD’s or Christian Radio in the car- YouTube has great
full length cartoon Bible stories- and most importantly
be a godly example in all you do by making loving
choices.
In a loving, Christ-like nurturing environment, St. Martha School guides each student to develop his or her unique ability and potential through prayer, study, and service. †

The end of the school year is often marked by fun and
educational field trips. This year, the sixth grade class
spent the day at Greenfield Village. They really enjoyed
riding the turn-of-the century train. Students also visited
the courthouse where Abraham Lincoln
practiced law and watched a glass
blowing demonstration, among other
things. It was a fun to step back in time
and learn about history outside of the
classroom.
The seventh grade took a trip to the Mackinaw
City and Mackinaw Island. Students toured
forts Michilimackinac and Mackinaw. They
also took a carriage tour around the island,
visited St. Anne’s Church, and sampled some
of the island’s famous fudge! They came back
with a greater understanding of Michigan’s
early history, and some lasting memories.
Dedication of St. Martha Church with Bishop Kenneth J. Povish

O Saint Martha, teach me to offer the simple gifts of kindness and hospitality
to others as you did to Jesus and His friends. Let my hands be open to God’s Word

17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Praying with Psalm 145
The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.
The eyes of all look hopefully to you and you give them their food in due season…
We have listened to this gospel of Jesus multiplying the loaves and fish many times and each
time we try to imagine the scene and how it came about. Moving from our imagination to this
present day we have our meager offering to any situation where we know that there is a need. We
bring it and in the sense of putting it into bigger hands, God’s hands, we want it to be given freely
and blessed so that it can be distributed to all those in need.
Pope Francis’ encyclical on Care of our Common Home, Earth
states : “Now I wish to address every living person on this
planet… In this Encyclical, I would like to enter into
dialogue with all people about our common home.” (3)
We know that we all need to be working toward caring for our
home. We need to be involved in providing a healthy harvest
for all. Choosing to ask within our own individual lives and
together what changes we can make in the care of soil, water,
seeds, fertilizer, harvesting, processing, marketing, and
availability is an valuable beginning. We are just coming to
realize the important questions that we need to ask together.
Taking our simple offering of our own choices and changes,
while bringing our offering to the Lord, is no small experience. We know that Jesus will bless it and
ask us to distribute it to the crowd and then ask us to gather up whatever is remaining so none will
be wasted. No idea, no action, no hope for the present and the future will be wasted. Into God’s
loving hands and his plan we place our offering.
Look at the abundance that we see in our stores, in our farmers’ markets, on our tables and
consider the crowd gathered around Jesus. Jesus desires to
feed the crowd so that they may become a community of
believers. Consider the crowd of human beings that needs to
be nourished in so many ways, nourished with food, with
clean water and the Word of God. May we be committed to
helping our family, our community, our global brothers and
sisters—near and far-- have a healthy harvest allowing all to
live and grow in the manner in which our Heavenly Father
intended; that all may have life and have it to the fullest.
Paul’s words to the Ephesians ( 4:1-6) are words to us today.
Brothers and sisters, I urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call… striving to preserve
the unity of the spirit through bonds of peace… knowing that we have on God and Father of
all, who is over all and through all and in all.
… you open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

Our Gospel reading from St. John relates the
account of Jesus feeding the more than 5,000
gathered to be fed by the Word, little knowing that
they would be fed in reality owing to one of the
Lord’s best known miracles. This phenomenal
narrative is reported in all four Gospels.
In many ways what Jesus did in this particular
miracle is different from others He performed. He
makes an effort to involve His Apostles by turning to
them and appealing for assistance. Of course, there
is some hesitance on the parts of Philip and Andrew
who are cited as responding in somewhat negative
ways. Jesus does not admonish them for their
misgivings but goes ahead to accomplish what He
set out to do.
Certainly the Apostles had witnessed previous
incredible acts by the Lord, but yet they still hesitated
to trust Him implicitly. How often do we do the same?
Do we remember the many blessings we have
received, and do we think of all the ways God has
been with us in the past, or do we, like Philip and
Andrew, doubt? Stewardship involves complete trust
in God. This trust should be based as much on what
has happened in our lives, as on our deep faith.
Good stewards concentrate on the positive, not on
the negative. When one focuses on blessings rather
than challenges, miracles like this seem
commonplace.
