      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.

    Guess Who 8-20-09

    From Marianne Elwell concerning the cruise next summer:

    Re the cruise – if someone is interested in the cruise, or even think they might be interested, they only have to put a deposit of $25.00 per person by 8/26.  They can always cancel (up to a certain point and I will find out what the latest cancel date is), but we need at least 8 cabins booked by then or we lose the group status.

    True?

    Death can come at any minute, in any way.
    We do not know what is in store tomorrow,
    or,
    whether there is a tomorrow,
    or even a tonight! But still,
    we have the golden present.
    Now we are alive and kicking.
    What should we do now?
    Love all, serve all.

    Exodus 19:  Therefore, if you hearken to my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my special possession, dearer to me than all other people, though all the earth is mine.
    Romans 5:  Not only that, but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
    Matthew 9:  Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons.


    It is serenity that walks us through all the changes of life. The serene person is full of the courage to let life happen in all its forms until it is possible to see clearly what must be pruned, what must be purged and what must be allowed to pursue its own perfection so that we may all grow with it.
