First Sunday of Advent
“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time will come.” - Mark 13:33
We all take things for granted. In particular, we take time for granted. We make our lives too busy. We plan our time, our days, weeks, months, even years in advance. Remember, our time on earth is a gift. None of us knows how long we will be here. Start today and begin thanking God for each and every day. Take time in silence, every day, and listen to how God is calling you right now to help build His kingdom on earth.

The University of Notre Dame’s Science of Generosity Project defines generosity as “the virtue of giving good things to others freely and abundantly.” When we think deeply about this definition, three parts stand out clearly. Generosity is giving “good things”, giving “freely”, and giving “abundantly.”
Let us cultivate an attitude of generosity!
2 Corinthians 9:6-8
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

The Gift of Hope
Entering the holiday season can be stressful and difficult especially after the loss of a loved one. Approaching the holidays with a plan can be a very helpful way to navigate the triggers and occasions of grief that you will encounter.
Watch the video below for a number of helpful tips and tools to help you move through the holidays with joy and hope.

We are in need of Ushers, Greeters, and Cleaning Team Members
We have a dedicated group of volunteers and we are so grateful to all of them. Each of them has made it possible to keep our doors open, our distancing safe and our church spotless. Most of them are working every week and some daily to accomplish this. If you are able to assist with this task, we really need new volunteers. After Mass there will be forms at a sign-up table outside. Please stop by and pick up a form and either complete today or fill out and drop in the box outside the office sometime this week. You can also find the form attached to the bulletin or in the flock note I sent out. Training will be provided and you will only be scheduled when you are available. Please prayerfully consider volunteering.

The last final weeks for the "Fill the Stocking" project sponsored by the Women of COKAS is here. Please return all stockings by the 29th. If you have found that you are unable to participate, please bring your stocking back to church. To date 85 stockings have been collected which leaves 41 outstanding. This is an awesome response. Let's get all the stockings back and make some very needy people happy. |
