CHRISTMAS CHEER SUNDAY

Come down and enjoy coffee, tea and something good to eat. We’ll sing a carol or two and the kids can make a holiday craft. If Santa’s not too busy, he’ll be visiting too! This is a “free” event. However, we would REALLY appreciate baked goods donations – cookies, muffins, cakes – would be fabulous.
Also, we need HELPERS to assist. Please mark that column on the sign up sheets available in vestibule. Thanks for helping us put on another very fun event.
Social Committee

Parish Financial Reports
Our parish finance council is in the process of switching our accounting procedures to a computerized system. In the long run this will be a much more efficient system but it does take some set up time. As a result we will not be ready to distribute a third quarter report on the finances of the parish as we have done in previous years. The new system will however be sufficiently in place to enable us to provide an end of the year report as usual.
