Reminder for Sunday, April 13, 2014, Palm Sunday, Cycle A

Thanksgiving Mass: Last Sunday of this Church Calendar Year: 9:30; coffee, donuts, home made muffins, & juice on the house.

Place: Vines High School on 15th between Custer & Independence.

Readings: Sirach 50 22-24; Psalm 113; 1 Corinthians 1, 3-9; Luke 17, 11-19 (these are the readings for Thanksgiving, Nov. 22, page 88 in our booklets) 

Thankgiving Tree: we will set up a tree with lights on the stage.  Nearby will be paper ornaments on which you may answer the question, " I thank God this year for…"  Use the ribbons to tie it onto the tree.  Kids will find special ornaments that have a picture to color on one side, while the blessing can be put on the other side.  We will keep it up every Sunday into Christmas Eve Mass at 4:00.  Perhaps a couple of blessings can be read anonymously each Sunday.  Our Thanksgiving continues into Christmas.

Community Bulletin Board

Result of the informal poll on our Mass time: wide preference for 9:30, as it is. 

Tree Project update: maybe in December?  Waiting to hear from Collin Co. Child Advocacy Center, Park & Los Rios.

Nov. 17 Work Project: Alex Moore of Lakepoint Church helped us tremendously with our Rowlett house.  He now has a special renovation project which needs volunteer help.  It is quite a project involving another church in south Dallas.  Check out the project:  Download Nov. 17 Project.doc    Rosemary & I will be there.

From Tom Quinn: Do you know anyone interested in an entertainment center?  It’s a beautiful piece of blonde furniture that is in great condition.  I can’t seem to get any of the Charities to pick it up as I don’t have the vehicle to deliver it.  Quinn, Tom & Theresa, E-mail Address:  tntquinn@peoplepc.com

If you are anxious, you are living in the future;

If you are at peace, you are living in the present.
