HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
"Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We
are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the LORD
is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations."-Psalm 100: 3-5

Church Yard Maintenance
Many thanks and blessings to our generous donors for the purchase of a new lawn tractor! 
Liturgical Items
Church Maintenance In order to save money on expenses, parishioners are asked to donate household items that are regularly used in the church & hall, such as toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, paper plates, tissues, dishwashing detergent, brillo pads, hand soap, coffee cups, stirrers, sugar, pepper, salt, coffee, bleach, furniture polish, dust cloths, dish towels, etc. Just think what you use around your home is also used at the church. See Betty Reimann with any questions you may have. An increase in your stewardship would also be appreciated since our maintenance, candles, snowplowing, heat & electric costs have also increased.
