Pro-Life Documentary at St. Francis in Sherwood August 12

Image
Hello, I am writing to each of you who responded to the email below and have expressed interest in the screening of "The Sidewalk Chronicles". I would like to give you the new information for the showing time, date and location. I have also attached a flyer for this screening if you wish to share it or print it out for yourself. "The Sidewalk Chronicles" screening is being moved to St. Francis Catholic Church in Sherwood. The address is 15651 SW Oregon St, Sherwood, OR 97140. The screening will be held on Tuesday, August 12th. Please arrive by 8:00pm. In this documentary some women give personal accounts of going through an abortion. While the documentary is not extremely graphic, we recommend it for high school age children and older. There is no charge for this viewing, however, free will offerings are greatly appreciated and will aid in the production of more films like this. Yours in Christ, Laura Potter

Christ in the Womb for July 27, 2014 and The Word Made Flesh for July 25-26, 2015

July 27 Bulletin The Word was made Flesh . . . Following Baby Jesus in the womb 19 Weeks Baby weighs 7 ounces. It is incredible to think Baby will increase its weight more than 15 times between now and delivery. Since week 6, the main divisions of the central nervous system have been established while increased development of the brain and spinal cord continues. Baby’s approximate due date: December 25, 2014 ------------------------------------- The Word Made Flesh for July 25-26, 2015 The brain and central nervous system, modern science thinks, may be the seat of the soul. Our girl we are following is only 1/15th the size of child ready to be born- but she already has a soul. Psalm 139 tells us that God has knit together the soul and the body- into one indivisible whole. These competing theories of ensoulment- and many others- lead some to doubt the sinfulness of abortion. But as Catholics, we know that the body and soul are indivisible- and thus human life must be protect...

July 20 Bulletin The Word was made Flesh . . . Following Baby Jesus in the womb 18 Weeks Baby is continuing to grow and to develop, but the growth rate levels off. An ultrasound done at this point in pregnancy is helpful for confirming the Baby’s due date and examining the Baby’s anatomy. Parental bonds are strengthened with the visual picture of their Baby. Baby’s approximate due date: December 25, 2014 ---------------- The Word Made Flesh for July 18-19, 2015 Genesis 1:27 tells us we are made in the image of God, both male and female. At this point in the pregnancy, the mother of our little girl goes in for an ultrasound, and using modern technology, is able to take home a picture of her child. The due date is also confirmed- December 25, 2015, the birthday of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

July 13 Christ in the Womb

Image
July 13 Bulletin The Word was made Flesh . . . Following Baby Jesus in the womb 17 Weeks Fetal movement, also called ā€˜quickening’, is usually felt between 16 and 20 Weeks of pregnancy. The time and frequency is different for every woman and from one pregnancy to another. One Baby may be more active than another. Baby weight has doubled and is about 3½ ounces. Baby’s approximate due date: December 25, 201 ---- The Word Made Flesh for July 11-12, 2015 Late in Luke Chapter 1, we get the story of Elizabeth hearing the news of Mary's pregnancy, and the quickening of John the Baptist, who leaped for joy in his mother's womb. Sometime between 16 and 20 weeks, our little girl is old enough to react to her environment. At just 3.5 ounces, she's already beginning to move, and react to the sound of her mother's voice. Who is to say this is not a person with a soul at this stage? In many countries in Europe, she's a person with rights; but not in Oregon. Baby is du...

Christ in the Womb for July 6, 2014

July 6 Bulletin The Word was made Flesh . . . Following Baby Jesus in the womb 4 months Nostrils and toenails become visible. The Baby may suck his thumb, turn somersaults and has a firm grip. The ovaries of girls contain beginnings of eggs. Baby begins to develop sleeping habits. At about 4½ months, he is able to experience pain. Baby’s approximate due date: December 25, 2014 ----------------- The Word Made Flesh for July 4-5,2015. The face- the human face- such a miracle it is. For in the faces of other people, we see the face of God. We're nearly four months into the journey we have undertaken with our little girl in the womb now. She's beginning to develop those things that make a woman a woman. And her face is beginning to develop further. She might be sucking her thumb, she might be giving mommy fits as she turns somersaults. But she still shares a birthday with Our Lord, for her due date is December 25, 2015.

I'm a couple of weeks behind, but I'll post both today for the past two weeks. I got off due to Knights business meeting and the holiday weekend. June 29 Bulletin The Word was made Flesh . . .

Baby’s approximate due date: December 25, 2014 ----------------- The Word Made Flesh for June 27-28, 2015. Psalm 127 tells us that children are a reward. The human mind is connected to the outside world through our five senses. Our little girl, who will share her due date with the birthday of our Lord, is developing the nerves that connect the brain to the heart and to the outside world. Baby's approximate Due Date, December 25, 2015
