It’s easy, but if you have a problem,
contact Suzie in the office. Yes, you
do have to renew each year to stay
ac5ve in program. No, you don’t
lose any points! Yes, it does help
our church!
Help! Help! Help! All of our Masses are in need of Mass Coordina-
tors. This is not a difficult ministry, but, a very important one. If
you feel you may be called to this ministry, a training session will be
held in the very near future. One of the most important aspects of
this ministry is that you ae able to be at the Mass of your choice
early enough to open the church, prepare & set up the altar. We
will be seKng up a schedule, so, hopefully we will have more than
one coordinator for each Mass. Pray about this and if you feel you
are called, contact Suzie Bowling in the office or Susan Gre8ler at
[email protected]. Thank you for your prayerful considera5on!

winter clothes for children, adolescents, and adults and place them

chase of new coats for children and adolescents by either mailing a

the commons with a memo nota5on, “Coats for Kids”. Thank you!
