on the annual Diocesan Ski Trip. We had six young people go on the trip this year, not including Mary Ellen and me. Those attending were John Taylor, Live-say Boggus, Bryan Turnan, Brittney Turnan, Sarah Beth Lee, and Laine Fletcher. We traveled by bus from Church of our Savior in Mandarin to Ghent, West Vir-ginia. On our bus were adults and youth from five churches. After an eleven hour bus trip, it was 18 degrees and snowing when we arrived in West Virginia. On Saturday, our first day skiing, the wind chill was -3 degrees, with the tem-peratures rising to a balmy 18 degrees by mid afternoon. Fellowship and enjoy-

us at the Beckley Convention Center, where we also enjoyed an evening spiri-tual devotional. The second day was filled with skiing, punctuated with opportu-nities to eat and get warm. We shared a dinner again at the Convention Center, followed by a Eucharist. The bus ride home was quiet, with arrival back in Live Oak at 9:00 pm on Monday, January 20th. We all owe a big thank you to Father Wiley Ammons, Diocesan Canon for Youth Ministry for all his efforts, planning, and impromptu ski lessons. For all the fun and Christian fellowship that we en-joyed, I can only say, (See page five for more pictures.)

Thanks be to God!

I want to thank you for all the support you have given to the min-istry of St. Luke's Busy Hands for Babies. I completed my yearly report for Fr. Don and wanted to share with you what the Busy Hands sent out. To Wolfson's Children's Hospital, Jacksonville: 1,368 items; Memo-rial Hospital, Jacksonville, 236 items; St. Luke's Church, Jacksonville: 107 items. This year we have started to send and buy items for the following here in Live Oak: Guardian Ad Litem, 93 items; Love, Inc., 188 items; Vivid Vision, 95 items; Surrey Place, 8 items; and our companion church in Cuba, 22 items. The total number of items to the above was 2,117. We also spon-sored five (5) children for $60.00 each and gave 190 items of school supplies to Guardian Ad Litem, purchased items and gave $60.00 to Vivid Vision, sent 35 boxes to Mania House a Christian group in Mayo, and when I am here I try and help people coming in seeking help. The total value of the items made was $11,979 total of sponsored and pur-chased items was $600.88 for a grand total of $12,579.88. I want to thank you for your continued support of this outreach ministry of the church. We will be having a yard sale on February 8 from 7:00 1:00. We will take donations as that is how we are able to buy our yarn and fabric to do this ministry. Your Servant in Christ and St. Francis Sr. Maria Ann, OSF

Condolences to

on the passing of her sister, Julia McGee,

In December

I have a message for you from the Bishop of Cuba, Bishop Griselda. I was able to spend some time with her at the Convention last week and she specifically asked me to give you her message. She went to visit Fieles A Jesus in Matanzas, Cuba after our 4 men had been there working very hard on their building project . She could hardly believe what she saw a thriving church full of enthusiastic people working very hard in the ministry of the

case in Matanzas. They do the ministry and we provide the means. The job can only be done if we both work together.

Please consider becoming a partner family... There are over 650 children in North Central Florida who are not able to live at home or sleep in their own beds. An adult in their family abused or neglected them. It is no longer safe to live at home. These children are newborns. They are middle-school-aged. They are teenagers. They are all races and nationalities. A few have serious medi-cal problems and handicaps - most have hidden wounds on their souls. Where do

these children go when they can no longer remain safely in their homes? If there are no relatives able to care for them, then they are placed with a foster family, or a partner family, as we call them. Partner families are special people they possess the gift of being able to open their hearts and homes to chil-dren in need of safety, love and nurturing, and, when the time is right, to let them go again. What sets partner families apart is their ability to love a child like one of their own, regardless of whether the child lives with them for a month or for more than a year.

For more information call Partnership for Strong Families at 352.244.1500 or visitwww.pfsf.org

With God, all things are possible. With God, all things are possible. With God, all things are possible.
