Sacred Heart Parish is having a pig roast and outdoor Mass today at the Owasco Fire Department grounds. The day begins with everyone gathering at 2 p.m. Games, including fun prizes, will begin at 3 p.m., followed by an outdoor Mass under the pavilion at 4:30 p.m. The pig roast festivities are at 5:30 p.m. After dinner will be the famous “ice cream toss” and time for singing. The day will conclude with a huge bonfire. This sounds like a great day of fun for everyone at Sacred Heart.

• The United Church of Auburn Prayer Path is now open, and they would like to welcome the entire community. The path is located right behind the church at 77 Metcalf Drive, Auburn. Although there will be work in progress for the next several months, they would like to welcome everyone to please feel free to walk the path and spend some time with nature and God.
The United Church of Auburn will also be hosting a performance by The Harvesters at 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28. The Harvesters are a local quartet that sings the praises of God in hymns, southern gospel and contemporary music. The quartet is comprised of two local farming couples: Doug and Linda Eldred and Doug and Janet Young. “We hope we are planting seeds for the harvest of the Lord” said the group. “The fields are always ripe.” Everyone is welcome next Sunday to hear their inspirational music.
• If you have not yet had the chance to see our local Merry-Go-Round Playhouse performance of the smash comedy “Church Basement Ladies,” don't miss it. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this show. It was so well done and absolutely hysterical. It offers a comical and occasionally serious glimpse inside the world of those of us who like to help out at “church,” no matter our denominations. Some things are just universal, and it's just so funny. I saw many fellow “church ladies” in the audience, and everyone really enjoyed a laugh at our “sisterhood.”
This is the first time this show has been performed on the east coast (our theater is that good), and the writer of this play flew in just to be there for this hysterical sold out performance. It's playing until Oct. 4, and I promise, you don't want to miss it.
Have a great week everyone and remember, God loves you so very much.
