Reminder for 2nd Advent, December 6, 2020

Readings:

Isaiah 40, 1-5, 9-11, Comfort, give comfort to my people, says your God (one of the most beautiful readings.)

Psalm 85, Lord, let us see your kindness and grant us our salvation.

2 Peter 3, 8-14,   Beloved, be eager to be found without spot or blemish.

Mark 1, 1-8, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.

 

Christmas 2

Here is information about ways we can help this Christmas. 

Soul’s Harbor.  As in years past we are collecting sweatshirts and hoodies for the guys at Soul’s Harbor. Please drop them off at Lynda Fleming’s house by 12/17/20.  (5 Vista Cliff Place, Richardson, TX 75080).

 

A note from Becky Good:

Legacy Preparatory Charter in Plano is looking for a few good church families to donate to our neediest school families.  If you're one of those who feels the need to answer this call please email me so that I can make you part of the document that will contain the list of our neediest families and their children with ages and sizes.

I will create a Google doc that can be seen by anyone so when a person signs up for a child/family everyone can see that child/family is taken/spoken for.  It should be an easy way of filling the slots without back-and-forth emails.   

Should you want to donate money instead, email me and we will find a way to receive it if you don't want to drop off a check.

Here's my email:  Bgood@legacypca.com

As always, Legacy and I thank you for your constant generosity.  You are making a difference in our school community.  Thank you again.

Checks and gifts/donations need to be dropped off by Monday, 12/15/20, so they can get it to the families.

     True? 

    The only important thing is to follow nature. A tiger should be a good tiger; a tree, a good tree. So man should be man. But to know what man is, one must follow nature and go alone, admitting the importance of the unexpected. Still, nothing is possible without love….For love puts one in a mood to risk everything, and not to withhold important elements.
