Angel Tree… We have names of children who are in
need of a Special Christmas Gift on our Angel Tree. Please feel free to take
an angel from the Angel Tree and purchase that child’s wish or need. Wrap it and
place the Angel on the gift and return it under the tree no later than December 20th. Thank you, for your heartfelt generosity.
Please …pray for Tina Palmer, Jesse and Joann
Gonzales’s daughter who was in a serious accident and is in intensive care, in
University Hospital in Jackson.
Sincere Gratitude… to Fathers Noonan, Hurley, Messina,
and O’Brien who will join Fr. Ruane for our Christmas Penance Service on Wed.
evening, Dec. 9th at 6:15pm. Please make every effort to be with us on this
very special preparation for Christ’s Birthday.
Say HI… We would like to be known as a very
friendly and welcoming Church Family. Ushers, Ministers of Welcome and Church Family in
general, please welcome anybody you feel that is new. Stretch out a hand, wear a smile,
and be friendly. Isn’t that what any good family is supposed to be.
If… you would like to make a donation
toward the cost of Poinsettias for Christmas please find an envelope in the vestibule as
you enter the Church. Thank you.
If…we have any couples celebrating
25, 50, 60, 65 years of
marriage in 2009/2010 you are invited to participate in World Marriage Day, Feb. 14th
2010, with the Bishop. Details later.
Food Pantry… As you know St. Peter’s is making
a commitment to help provide food for the Food Pantry so that nobody in our community will
be hungry over the Christmas season. I thank those who brought non-perishable food items
on Thanksgiving morning. If you were unable to do so at this time I encourage you to bring
them when you can and put them in the first room to the right of the main entrance to the
education room building. [Some people know this as the orange room]
New Envelopes… Sincere Gratitude to our many parishioners who support
our parish and Building Fund so generously as a Church Family. The participation of all
when possible is so important, please pick up your new envelopes and if at possible use
them regularly. They are in alphabetical order in the entrance of the church.
As Promised… We invite all our children, little
ones, through grade six and their parents to a Special Mass on Tuesday December 15th. The children will be participating in
the reading and singing. We will have a special treat and time together. The desired treat
seems to be pizza. We look forward to having a good time with this part of our church
family.
New Comers… We would very much like to welcome our
new families and to recognize them if at all possible at our annul Christmas Supper on
December 13th.
Time Change…Because of Father Ruane’s
involvement in a wedding at 5:30pm on December 19, Our Saturday evening Mass, on
that day only, will be at 6:30pm. MR
Choose Life… Writing in the Michigan Law Review about
Oregon’s assisted suicide law, two physicians stated that reasonable sounding
safeguards, which proponents said were there to protect patients, do not appear to have
achieved that purpose and are easily circumvented. “As a result, Oregon physicians
appear to have been given great power without being in a position to exercise it
responsibly.” (NRL News June 2008)
