  • Reminder for the 1st Sunday of Advent, November 30, 2025

    Isaiah 1:   All nations shall stream toward it; many peoples shall come and say: “Come, let us climb the LORD’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.”
    Romans 13:  You know the time; it is the hour now for you to awake from sleep.  For our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed; the night is advanced, the day is at hand.
    Matthew 24: Therefore, stay awake!  For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.

    Happy Thanksgiving


    Being open to the unexpected is the beginning of new life, new growth, new possibilities. To be happy it is necessary to learn to let go of the way we are convinced life is and open our hearts and mind to what it really is.
    The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

     

    From Lynda Fleming:

    Senior Citizens Angel Tree:
    We are partnering again this year with the Wellness Center for Older Adults in Plano. There are a variety of ways you can help:
    ~ If you would like to sponsor a senior, please text Lynda Fleming at 972-754-0823 with the number of seniors you would like to sponsor and a budget amount.
    ~ If you would like to make a contribution, please Venmo her @LyndaFleming and she’ll be happy to shop for you.
    ~ if you would like to donate $20 gift cards, the most requested places are Walmart, Subway, Target and Aldi.

    Thanks so much for your support and generosity!!

    I asked Lynda how much it would cost to sponsor a person.   She said  it would probably be $20-$30. They typically want pajamas or a couple pieces of clothing or a small appliance, things like that…
    She also said The Wellness Center will contact as many of their people as they can to ask for needs and wants. If they don’t need anything specific, we give them a gift card depending on if they asked for a restaurant, groceries or general items.
