  • What do you think the apostles thought when Jesus told them that he was going to suffer, die, and be raised from the dead?

ACTIVITY

Take a Day Trip

Enjoy one of the last Sundays of summer by taking a family day trip. Find a destination within a few hours of the place you live. Here are some suggestions if you live in southeast Michigan:

  1. Detroit – Explore the Riverwalk and Belle Isle to see the Detroit River and city skyline, take a ride on the carousel at Rivard Plaza, and check out some of the cultural institutions like the Michigan Science Center and the Motown Museum.
  2. Ann Arbor – Ann Arbor has great shopping, dining, and destinations like the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum. In addition, kayaking and canoeing are available on the Huron River.
  3. Frankenmuth – Most families are familiar with this favorite day-trip destination, especially if they’ve ever stayed at hotels like the Bavarian Inn and Zehnder’s. You can also enjoy boat rides on the Cass River and, of course, a world-famous chicken dinner.
  4. Grand Rapids – The Grand Rapids Children’s Museum is an excellent destination for families with its interactive, hands-on exhibits. Older children interested in history may appreciate the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum.
  5. Kalamazoo – If your kids love planes, Kalamazoo should make your top day-trip destinations list. The Air Zoo, originally opened as the Kalamazoo Aviation History Museum, has more than 50 rare and historic aircraft. Enjoy amusement park-style rides, take part in flight simulators, and check out historical exhibits.
PRAYER

Prayer for a New School Year

God of wisdom and might, we praise you for the wonder of our being, for mind, body and spirit. Be with our children as they begin a new school year. Bless them and their teachers and staff. Give them strength and grace as their bodies grow; wisdom and knowledge to their minds as they search for understanding; and peace and zeal to their hearts. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

LITURGY LINK

In today’s Gospel, Jesus predicted his suffering and death. The Stations of the Cross show how Jesus suffered and died in the last moments of his earthly life. Find the stations in your church. How many stations are there?
