September 28 Bulletin The Word was made Flesh . . . Following Baby Jesus in the Womb 28 weeks Crown-to-rump length is close to 10 inches. Brain tissue increases. Eyebrows and eyelashes are present. Hair on the baby’s head is growing longer. The body is becoming plumper and rounder. He is beginning to fill out a little due to increasing fat under the skin. Before this time, the baby had a thin appearance. Baby has increased its weight more than 10 times in 11 weeks. Baby is growing rapidly. Baby’s approximate due date: December 25, 2014 ------------------------- The Word Made Flesh September 26-27, 2015. Psalm 127 tells us what a blessing children are to the righteous man, and how blessed must our little girl's father be feeling by now, 28 weeks into the pregnancy! She's now close to 10 inches, gaining weight daily, and in an emergency, would be delivered as a premie now. But her real due date is still three months in the future- the Birthday of Our Lord December 25, 2015.

The Pastoral Council invites all members of St. Clare Church to fill out this form. We'll be doing a similar one for the Knights in December with the yearly dues billing.

> Dear Brothers > > Brother Bill Rickman  has been off work since late June due to a neck condition that > makes his hands and fingers painfully numb and weak.   Surgery was originally scheduled in June' but his health insurance would not cover the procedure.  Their denial was finally overturned on appeal last week. His surgery is now scheduled for October 9th at St. Vincent's in Beaverton. Prayers are requested  for a successful operation and smooth recovery.  The procedure is a fusion of C3 through T1 with rods and screws, and clearing the nerve openings at multiple levels. He hopes to return to work in January. >   > > Sir Knight Tom Meese was called home to our Lord about 8pm September 25, 2014.  His funeral is scheduled  for Tuesday October 2, 2014 at St, Cecilia Catholic Church with a Rosary at 10:30 and Mass at 11:00 A.M.   Please keep Tom, Beverly, and the entire Meese Family in your prayers.

September 21 Bulletin The Word was made Flesh . . . Following Baby Jesus in the womb 27 Weeks This week marks the beginning of the 3rd trimester. Eyelids will now open. The retina, at the back of the eye, is light-sensitive. It is the part of the eye where light images come into focus. These layers receive light wave information and transmit it to the brain for interpretations—what we know as “sight.” Baby’s approximate due date: December 25, 2014 ------------- The Word Made Flesh September 19-20, 2015. In Mathew Chapter 6, verse 22, Christ tells us of the miracle of the human eye- the lamp of the body. At the start of the 3rd trimester, the retinas of the little girl we are following become light sensitive; the child can now see. Eyelids open. Her due date is still a few months out- The Birthday of Our Lord, December 25, 2015

September 7 Bulletin The Word was made Flesh . . . Following Baby Jesus in the womb 6 months The Baby will be able to hear by next week. The child sleeps and wakes, nestles in his favorite positions and stretches upon waking up. If Baby is delivered now, it would have a high chance of living. No one wants a Baby to deliver this early, but new treatment methods like ventilators, monitors and medication increase its chances of survival. Baby’s approximate due date: December 25, 2014 ----------------------- The Word Made Flesh, September 5-6, 2015. Ephesians 5 repeats an old saying from the very beginning of the Christian Era, common to the people Paul was writing to: "Wake from your slumber, arise from the Dead, and Christ will shine upon you". We are six months into the pregnancy of our little girl, and she is learning to sleep and wake. Nobody wants a baby delivered this early, but with modern medical treatment, she is her own person, and would survive if delivered...

Expenses $151 Profit $107 Donation to St. Clare's:$50 Thank you to all who volunteered. We were doing this breakfast more for community than for profit. I did not keep an exact count, but I believe we served only 50 to 60 breakfasts, including for the crew. This is down about 40-50 from a normal breakfast, yet we still did better than breaking even.

I'm going to miss it, but I heard a rant from this guy on KBVM about gender confusion, and if it was possible, I'd go! If You're A Parent Teacher Grandparent or Anyone Relating To Today's Kids Don't Miss Attending THE DOCTOR IS IN with Dr. Ray Guarendi Live A KC Advertised Event
