Sunday Mass Reminder for November 18, 2007, Thanksgiving
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.

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. J.S.
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
November 25: No Mass the Sunday just after Thanksgiving. Rosemary & I will be at her sister Clare’s house.
December 9: Save Your Blood for the Christmas Blood Drive and Brunch.
See you Sunday.
J.S.
