Stewardship Scripture Reflection

Fourth Sunday of Advent
“When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.” (Matthew 1:24)
Putting our complete trust in the Lord without expecting anything in return. Striving to put God first in all things and follow Him wherever He may lead us. As we prepare for the birth of our Lord, pray for the strength and courage to be a model of discipleship, just as Joseph was.

MANY THANKS TO THE
GUADALUPE COMMITTEE
The Guadalupano Committee hosted food sales several Sundays this year to defray the cost of Our Lady of Guadalupe Feast Day celebration culminating on December 12th.
We want to thank the tireless efforts of the members of the Guadalupano Committee throughout the year, Christ Our King and Savior Catholic Church is home to a prayerful, vibrant and joyous celebration of our Mother of the Americas’ special day in December.
Thank you to Lupe Patiño, the Guadalupano committee and all those that helped with the organization of the celebration of the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Thanks to all these volunteers, the celebration was a success.

CHRISTMAS GIVING TREE
THANK YOU
As the Giving Tree Project Coordinator this year, I would like to personally thank all the parishioners who helped make a better Christmas for 159 children and 36 adult nursing Home residents. Your generosity assisted parish families and those helped by our St Vincent de Paul and Martha's Closet ministries, as well as the Boys & Girls
Club, Eatonton Health & Rehabilitation Center, Boswell-Parker Health and Rehabilitation, Providence of Sparta and Greene Point Nursing Home.
None of this could have happened without the tireless efforts of our 23 volunteers who prepared the ornaments, decorated the tree, shopped for those who couldn't shop, manned the desk at every mass for the past month and distributed the gifts. It was a big undertaking and a job well done!!
The agency coordinators and those recipients I was privileged to meet expressed their gratitude and blessed your kindness in remembering them at this special time of year. I wanted to pass this on to you, and...on behalf of myself and our volunteers, thank you again and wish you a Merry Christmas!
Pam Markert
Giving Tree Coordinator

Are you curious when you hear Father Michael mention the Christian author Scott Hahn in his homilies, or do you want to know more about Bishop Robert Barron and his DVDs and books?
Cokas has a library!
The Father Philip Ryan Parish Library on the second floor of the Parish Life Center is well stocked with books and DVDs…and you can access the collection and explore what we have online. Simply go to the COKAS web site and under the “Questions” dropdown menu, go to “Online Library,” and then click on the URL.
The Ryan Parish Library is open on Sundays during PSR, but is always available for individual use by getting a key from the parish secretary during business hours (9:00-2:00.) Self check-out is available, and books can be returned to the box outside the Parish Office.
So feed your soul and satisfy your curiosity - visit the Ryan Library.
