Thoughts from Your Pastor We light the 3rd candle on our Advent Wreath this weekend. Christmas is almost here. I hope everyone has prepared their hearts once again to celebrate the birthday of our Savior. Come Jesus come, do not delay. Remember the Giving Tree Gifts are due back this day. Hopefully everyone who took an angel has brought back their gifts for those in need. I want to say THANKS to all who took angels and provided a little joy to those in need. Thanks to Amelia Anthony and Jennifer Barr and their helpers who did the work behind this ministry. THANKS for sharing your TIME with the church. We will have our Annual Advent Penance Service on the 17th of December. What a great way to prepare one’s heart to celebrate the Birthday of Jesus. Please know that you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers during this Advent Season. Until Next week, MUCH LOVE and PRAYERS. Love Father Tony
