We are glad you came to join with us in our worship today. We hope that you have felt God’s love in a new, refreshing way… From Fr. Tony: Well, I hope Thanksgiving Day was nice and that your weekend is going just as well. This is a wonderful time of year. It is amazing how people’s attitudes change. For the most part people seem to happy and sort of cheery however, whenever we think about all the things that needs to be done and things that need to be bought, we get anxious, upset, and down-right irritable. When that happens, I think we are forgetting the true meaning for this time of year. Take for example, the many stores that are open and having sales on Thanksgiving Day already. The only thing that we should be anxious about is waiting for Christ. Advent is a time for us to prepare our hearts for the way of the Lord. Christ will come again, but Christ also wants to come to us here and now. May this time of year be of wonderful anticipation and not one of needless worries. Don’t go the wrong way in the Advent rush, but make sure the right way is to God. With that being said, enjoy: While a man had gone out driving to do some Christmas shopping, his wife had been watching TV when she heard the announcer say, "be very careful and watch driving on I5 today, there is a motorist driving the wrong way"! His wife got hold of him on the cell phone to warn him, and his reply was: "You tell me, there are hundreds of them here". May your Advent be one of excitement, peace, happiness, and preparation!!! SPECIAL THANKS TO… Those who took the time and helped put out the Missalettes and the Music Issues for our churches. This is one job that often gets overlooked. Therefore, next time you take a Missalette or Music Issue, remember in prayer those who put it set them out and organize them. Please take this time now to recognize someone that you are thankful for… DMA UPDATE As you know, this is DMA Commitment Sunday. Please use the envelopes that are in the churches for your commitment. Remember, anything raised above our parish goals will come back to our parishes. Our parish goal for Our Lady of Victory’s is $2,739.87; St. Anne’s is $8,581.47; St. Mary’s is $3,153.43; St. Mathias is $3,980.56. In addition to all the ministries the appeal supports at the diocesan level, all gifts over our goal will go to support the furnace situation in the social hall at Our Lady of Victory, the support of our school at St. Anne, the liturgical environment at St. Mary, and the general expenses at St. Mathias. Keep in mind that our needs might change as time goes on, but these were the projects that the various Administrative Councils decided on right now.
