THANKSGIVING DISPLAY!!! As we do in thanks to God for His rich blessings to us, we
will begin gathering food, both produce & non-perishable goods to use in our Thanksgiving Display for October 13th. We display these things as a way of focusing our attention on God’s abundant blessings to us. We will then donate the food items to the Seminary Pantry, and so we multiply our thanks because of their thankfulness to God for our generosity. Please place in the collection bin at the back of church.
FLOWERS: If you are interested in purchasing flowers to place on the altar for our Sunday Worship,
please sign up in the Narthex and be sure to add, if you would like it to be in memory or thankfulness of someone special.
NEEDED—Men's winter coats. St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store on Queenston St. is already
collecting men's winter coats for the homeless. Please donate directly to St. Vincent's or give to Jill Munoz. "If you have done it unto one of the least of these, you have done it unto Me (Jesus Christ)." Update: Mary at St. Vincent’s gives everyone at CLC big hugs for coats donated so far.
