     Last Sunday, November 27, The 1st of Advent.   The gift: Food.  From Ken Cramer,

    John, our community contributed 265 pounds of food and one $20 check. Assuming the check would buy 5 pounds of food, and assuming we had 91 people in attendance yesterday, we averaged nearly three pounds of food per man, woman, and child.

I think we should be proud of ourselves!

Special Announcement: We are moving

After celebrating week after week for 10 years, PISD is asking us to move over to Sigler on Janwood.  Apparently it is quite expensive to A/C the large cafetorium at Vines.  Sigler will be more economical.  September 6 we begin our new adventure.  This is the next to last Sunday In San Vino.

True?  

I made connection with a pair of eyes, and I thought, "This is incredible; these eyes are penetrating me." I went through the whole performance just relating to those eyes, giving the whole thing to those eyes…  When curtain call finally came, I looked in the direction of those eyes, and it was a seeing eye dog…  I couldn't get over it — the compassion and intensity and understanding in those eyes, and it was a dog.

See you this Sunday.
