Sorry, Everybody,

The old editor left out two notices from the Reminder bulletin:

1.    We are collecting for Dressed for Success ladies dresses and clothing, especially size 18 & up.  On top of this just about any clothing is welcomed.  Bill Hammond will gather everything into his car and take them to their office/warehouse.

 

2.   We are doing our Advent food drive.  Ken & Cindy will collect and deliver the food.  The items especially appreciated: 

Food Drive:  canned meats (like chili, ravioli, etc.), personal care items (shampoo, toothpaste, soap, toothbrush, etc.), peanut butter and jelly, macaroni.  These are the items that disappear the quickest, but they really can use any food or household items.

 

Mass:  Coffee & donuts & treats on the house.

Place:  Vines High School, 15th between Custer & Independence, south side

 

Time: 9:30; Tony Celebrating 

  

   
  

Readings:  Exodus 32, 7-14; Psalm 51, I will rise and go to My Father; 1 Timothy 1, 12-17; Luke 15, 1-32

Advent Celebrations already: this is way early, but two of my favorite performances are already scheduled for December, and tickets will go quickly.  As in past years, if you would like to join Rosemary & me, give me your name and the number of tickets you want.  We’ll have our usual evening of wine & cheese before each performance.
