Dear Families,

Thank you for coming to Villa Teresa School this past summer! For those of you who are going back to your regular school other than Villa have a great school year! Know you are always in our prayers. See you next summer!

For those of you who are staying – we have one more week of day care and the children love it because they can bring a toy and we will continue swimming until Wednesday, August 6. Please make sure all swimming items are taken home Wednesday.

Thanks to our teachers and assistants who have really provided quality attention to our little ones. Our Summer Olympics with the emphasis on China, the host country was a great theme. The children have learned lots this summer.

Immersed with Christ (Give the Gift You Have Received)

INVENTORY: Do you think of God as the provider of all that is good, or just the alternative to something worse? Do you come to him out of fear, obligation or desire? Do you serve him out of duty or out of expectation? What do you expect from God ?

INPUT:  The God the Church presents to us is a God to be desired, to be sought, a God to get as much of as we can – in short, a God who “answers all our needs.”  This is the God we will know and enjoy in heaven. Why not begin now?

Scripture:  Isaiah 55: 1-3; Romans 8:35-39; Matthew 14: 13-21

INSIGHT: Has Church converted me to a different understanding of God? Do I see him as fulfilling all my desires? What choices of mine express this conversion?

INITIATIVE: Be a priest. Give God to others as a gift.
