    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.

    The Bible at Your Fingertips (http://st-luke-church.org/bible-at-finger-tips.php) and USCCB, The New American Bible (http://www.usccb.org/).  

    The difference?  The first is Protestant more or less, and the second is officially Catholic and has the 12 little books in between the O.T. & N.T., called Deuterocanonical or Apocrypha. 

    Both are good translations.
