Join us this fall for the Wednesday Evening Bible Study. Our study will be First and Second Thessa-lonians. We meet on
Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. starting Oct. 4 through Nov. 15. Like a tender shepherd, Paul wrote the letters of 1 & 2 Thessalonians to an early church community of believers he founded in Thessalonica, a huge city in Macedonia. These were friends he knew, loved, and missed. His pur-pose in writing was to thank them for their work of faith, their labor of love, and their continued hope in the Lord Jesus Christ . . . and His coming again. Paul was also eager to remind them of the example their faithfulness had been to those around them. His message can help all of us live out the Chris-tian life today. To sign up: Contact Lalla Mangin at 706-467-0883 or [email protected]. To assure that we have enough books, please let me know by Sept. 25.
Children’s Liturgy of the Word is celebrated at the 9:00 a.m. and 11:45 a.m.
Masses for children Pre-K through 3rd grade.

Jim Matthews and family would like to thank all those who offered their prayers, love and con-dolences in regard to the passing of Janice Lee Matthews. The masses offered on her behalf nationwide, even to France, will ensure her presence with the Good Lord in heaven. She loved COKAS and all her friends in the Parish Community. I'm sure the Good Lord is enjoying her presence in heaven as much as we did on Earth!
- Jim and the family.

Acompañenos a celebrar
la Santa Misa todos los
Miercoles a las 6:00 pm
Muchos van a Misa con la expectativa de sacar mucho provecho de ella, pero lo que se obtiene en la Misa depende de qué tipo de cambio se está dispuesto a hacer antes, durante y después de la celebración, porque lo que se pone en la Misa determina lo que se obtiene de ella. Aquí hay ocho rápidas indicaciones:
1. Prepárate adecuadamente para la Misa
• Lee y estudia las lecturas antes de ir a Misa, y escucha con atención cuando se proclama la Palabra.
• Estudia las enseñanzas de la Iglesia. Cuanto más conozcas a Jesús y su Iglesia, más la amarás. No se puede amar lo que no se conoce.
• Confiésate regularmente. Esto te ayudará a prepararte espiritualmente.
• Reza cada día. ¡Sin oración no tienes poder espiritual!
• Vístete de manera apropiada. Vas a encontrar al Rey de los Reyes. No te vistas como si fueras a una cita a comer, a la calle o a clase. Es una ocasión especial.
• Llega a tiempo y siéntate delante. Menos distracciones y más tiempo para la oración antes de la Misa.
• Una vez en la Iglesia, no hables y no mires a las personas. Reza.
2. Ten una actitud adecuada
• No esperes algo entretenido. Estás allí para ofrecer a Dios adoración y recibir la gracia.
• Busca a Dios en cada momento de la Misa.
• No permitas que las distracciones externas turben tu paz interior.
• Encuentra en la predicación una información preciosa para llevarte a casa.
3. Participa plenamente de la Santa Misa
• Canta, aunque desafines.
• Responde a las plegarias y reza con ganas. Da todo a Dios y no te preocupes de los demás.
• Recuerda que la Misa no es momento para las relaciones sociales. Ofrece a Dios tu dolor y tu sufrimiento, tu alegría y tus oraciones.
