A. Schedule of upcoming events: In an attempt to make our Advent special this year, we invite the community to focus on one gift to the less fortunate each of the 4 Sundays. We will include a special reconciliation rite the 4th Sunday, Dec. 18. See the flier: Download Advent 2011
Last Sunday, December 4, The 2nd of Advent. The gift: Toys. Thanks to Beth & Rob Robinson for coordinating. Beth says they need volunteers to sort & hand out toys:
If anyone is interested, the store could use some extra hands to man "store," where the parents/caretakers come in to find toys for their children. Here are the hours that were suggested by the coordinator, Vicky Stilly:
On the 14th - we could use 2-8 volunteers from noon to 2p and/or 4p to 6:30p
On the 15th - we can use help from noon to 4p and/or 4p to 6p.
