Corinthians   11:  For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.

Luke 9:  They all ate and were satisfied.  And when the leftover fragments were picked up, they filled twelve wicker baskets.

Dear Father Stack,

Thank you very much for being my sponsor for my LEGO Drive, as part of my Eagle Scout project.

Thanks, Anthony DeGenova

Dear Stack Ministry,

Hello, my name is Anthony DeGenova.  I am 17 years old, and am working on my Boy Scouts Eagle Project.  My mission is to donate LEGO blocks to under-privileged children.  This project includes the collection, cleaning, sterilizing, sorting, packaging, and delivery of the LEGO blocks to a few charities that cater to children. I plan to donate all of mine, and would like very much to collect as many as possible from friends and neighbors like you, who wouldn’t mind giving theirs up for needy children.  I am accepting both used and new LEGO blocks. Please bring the LEGO blocks to church and my parents will pick them up.  Alternatively, I will gladly pick them up from your house, at your convenience. 

If you have any questions, please contact me at:

Telephone: 972-495-3639

Email Address:  anthonydegenova@outlook.com

I look forward to your support, and hope to make this drive and my Eagle project a success. Thank you very much for your help,

One more week to ticket time for Christmas:   Two performances at two different venues, one at the Meyerson as usual, the other at the brand new Winspear Opera House.  The plans:

1.  December 10, Thursday, 7:30: The Meyerson.  Christmas Special, $55 (New Director this Christmas.  David Davidson died of cancer Saturday.)

2.  December 15, Tuesday, 8:00:   The Winspear, South Pacific, $50 (cheapest in the house; with 15 or more we get better seats at $55)  Our man at the Dallas Morning News, Roger Jones, tells me the Winspear's beauty will take my breath away.  See his op ed in last Sunday's paper. 

An extra: pre-performance wine & cheese at the Tulip Lane parsonage with a tour through the best Christmas decorations in Dallas, i.e., Highland Park.

Let Rosemary or me know if you would like one or both performances.

It takes a certain maturity of mind to accept that nature works as steadily in rust as in roses.

 What does love mean–

When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore.  So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis, too.
