Men's Bible Study
The conflicts of the early Christians in Corinth are in
many ways similar to our struggles today as Christians.
They, too, witnessed division, scandal, immorality, persecution and other trials. In response, St. Paul taught the
Corinthians about the Church as the Body of Christ, introducing them to the most powerful gift of all: the
Eucharist.
Join us for First Corinthians: The Church and the Christian Community at St. Ambrose Pastoral Center every
Saturday. For more information or to register for the
study, call Greg Mattingly at 210-2628 or

Our Sympathy
For the families of all
those who have died, especially
Bonnie Pointer
daughter of Anita Forbes
A new formation class for Permanent
Deacons is being planned.
Men over the age of 35 and under the age of 57 (in 2015)
are encouraged to consider prayerfully how God might be
calling you to this service in the Church.
If you would like additional information or have questions, please contact Fr. Steve or Deacon Bill or Deacon
Tom at the parish office. The first class of permanent deacons was ordained in 2007, with subsequent classes in
2009 and 2012. Currently, there is a class in formation
with ordination upcoming in 2016. (Our own Deacon candidate Jay Wackerly is preparing for ordination with this
class). The upcoming class formed would be ordained in
2020. The Springfield diocese has 48 deacons actively
serving in parishes and institutions.
Please remember St. Ambrose Parish and
School in your will and financial planning.
Twenty-eighth Sunday
First Reading: Isaiah 25:6-10
The mountain dearest to the people of Israel was Mount
Zion, the place upon which Jerusalem’s temple was built.
The prophet Isaiah, preaching during a time of political
upheaval, foresees a day when God will gather on Mount
Zion all the people of the world for a great banquet.
Second Reading: Philippians 4:12-14, 19-20
On his missionary journeys, Paul took pride in supporting
himself as a leatherworker. Now it's different. Paul is in
prison and dependent upon his beloved Philippians. They
generously sent him help, the only Christian community
known to do so. As he now concludes his letter to them,
Paul thanks them for their support and encouragement.
Scripture Focus: Matthew 22:1-14
In the Scriptures, meals are always occasion of sharing of
life, memories and intimacy. This simple human experience represents the rich life shared between God and his
people. The wedding banquet especially looks to the end
time when God and his people will find a final sharing of
life with each other. In this parable the first guests invited
refuse to come. The king tells his servants to invite everyone they meet, “the bad as well as the good.” The Church
will never be a perfect community of saintly people. All
are invited. The only requirement is to receive the Good
News willingly. God doesn’t care about the clothes we
wear. The point is that to share in the heavenly banquet,
one must sincerely be open to the Lord.
Reflecting on God’s Word
As Catholics we are invited to “come to the feast” at significant moments in our lives. Baptism, First Communion,
marriages, ordinations, and funeral rites are all commonly
celebrated within the feast of the Eucharist. The clothes
we wear—from the baptismal garment to the funeral pall,
from fancy wedding grab to simple white albs—reflect
our baptismal commitment to be faithful to Christ until
we come to the eternal heavenly feast that our Eucharistic
celebrations anticipate. All are invited to come to the
feast. All are invited to dress in the garment of Christ. Not
all respond to the invitation.
It has often been asked what would happen if, some Sunday morning, praying as we always do for Christ to come
again, Christ actually did return. Would we come to his
feast? Would we prefer our small private gathering to the
huge mass of people we don’t really want to know?
Would we be found wearing the garment of faithfulness
we were given in baptism? Where would we be “on that
day?”
DONUT SUNDAY
Please join us on Sunday, Oct. 26th

to the breaking of the bread and to prayer.” Full information on the series is being posted at webpage BuildingABetterlDisciple.tumbir.com. What follows is a quick
overview of the sessions (clicking on the links will take
you to the registration page for each webinar).
October 13, 2014 Jesus: The Face of Discipleship—

first know what a disciple is. Through the persons of Jesus Christ: we will come to know what it means to claim
to name Christian.
All webinars begin at 7:30pm. (Central Time) and will
last 90 minutes. Catechists and teachers in the diocese of
Springfield in Illinois who complete all five webinars and
submit the requisite forms to their principle or parish

In Appreciation
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Leroy Tiemann for his tremendous effort of unlocking the church building each and every weekend for the last 15
or more years. Through all kinds of
weather he never failed to have the building open with lights and heat turned on. He
also never failed to drop by each week to
visit the ladies in the office and many times
brought candy to them of course to their
delight!
Leroy’s plan is to move into an assisted
living community.
God’s Blessings to Leroy for all that he has
done for St. Ambrose.
