THANKSGIVING
The Thanksgiving Holy Eucharist Service will be held on Thanksgiving Eve, Wednesday November 23rd, at 7:30 p.m.
Let's Make Thanksgiving last all year.....
Once again the Outreach Committee asks that we pledge to help keep the pantries at St. Mary's and St. Catherine's stocked throughout the entire year.
But especially for the next weeks the parish is encouraged to bring items that may be given to the pantries for a Thanksgiving Day meal.
Those items include:
Canned hams
Potatoes
Stove Top stuffing
Cranberries
Gravy packets
Rice
Dinner rolls
Canned Vegetables
Mac'N Cheese
Gift Cards for Winn-Dixie, Publix or Target and cash donations are welcomed! But it is so simple to add the needed items to ourpersonal shopping trips to the grocery store. Don't forget the "buy one, get one free" sales.
Items needed on a weekly basis throughout the year include (but are not limited to) the following:
· Canned vegetables and fruits
· Boxed meals (i.e. Mac 'N Cheese...)
· Peanut Butter
· Canned meats
· Soups
· Rice and pasta
· Crackers
· Boxed Cereals

BUILDING OUR YOUTH GROUP!
What's up for 4th graders and older kids this fall?
"First Friday Fun" is where we all get together for fun monthly activities the first Friday of each month. First Friday Night Fun will continue through-out the fall. Please call Margo @ 389-1467 for more info.
Sunday Morning "Breakfast Club" is on Sundays at 9:30 in the upstairs of Worsham Hall. The curriculumis centered on learning how we worship - using the Book of Common Prayer, The Hymnal and other tools. Bible study will include - how to use the Bible, the readings for the day, and using tools such as the Bible Dictionary and Concordance. The work will be self-paced so that a child can arrive anytime between 9:30 and the end of the sermon and stay through the entire time or leave to prepare for choir or to acolyte. Of course, as the class name implies, there will be a light breakfast at 9:30. Deacon Linda will be teaching the class and she is looking for others who would like to join her in the adventure...do you know how to use a Concordance?
