November 4, Sunday Mass of Remembrance, i.e., remembering family members & friends no longer with us, tying it in with the All Saints feast.  Bring a picture.

I am still searching for a job for one of our own, Rick Turner.  The last 8 years he has worked as a night warehouse man for Home Depot, which is now laying off numerous workers.  Does anyone have a lead on this kind of work or something similar?  He can do fork lift work, night work, make a great driver. A good man.

Anyone want to help with the readings at Mass who has not been asked?  I include those of you who need practice in speaking in front of a group because of FEAR. 

Anyone in need of a FAX machine?  Contact Beth Robinson: E-mail Address:   Epr313@aol.com

4.  Christmas Concert at the Meyerson:
believe it or not, it is time to buy our group tickets.  We will have a
sign up sheet Sunday and Rosemary will begin talks with her rep, Blake, at the Meyerson.  Included will be a visit to the Rectory for wine & cheese
and a ride through Highland Park to see the best lights.  We have a date: December 19 and tickets will be around $50.  

Connected with this, a plan is developing to visit the Christmas lights in Highland Park on bikes one evening, a common event.  We have our guide, Chris Phipps, who lives there, and the old geezer can second, since this is his old neighborhood.  Get your bike lights polished.

Elizabeth and Georgie ready.

True?     Inner Peace:

 If you can start the day without caffeine,

 If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

 If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

 If you can eat plain food every day and be grateful for it,

 If you can understand when you’re loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

 If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

 If you can conquer tension without medical help,

 If you can relax without liquor,

 If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!

 See you, May 15,  2011

1 Corinthians 15:   Just as we have borne the image of the earthly one, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly one.

Luke 6:  For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.
