Family Christmas Party Thursday Dec 13thReady or not, Christmas in on its way and so is our annual Family Christmas Party. All council members and their families are invited to attend this pot luck dinner and social gathering. The council will supply the main dish of beef brisket. We ask everyone else to bring a side dish or salad or dessert to share with others. Lemonade, coffee and water will be available for everyone but if you prefer you can bring something stronger, BYOB. We’ll start to gather at 6:00 pm and hope to be eating by 6:30. We can stay and visit as long as we like as long as we’re out of the building by 9:00. Unfortunately, Santa and Mrs. Claus will not be able to attend this year but the council does have gifts for the younger family members. We hope to see you and your family on the 13th.

Special Needs DanceThe Special Followers of Christ held a dance at St Patrick’s on Friday evening November 9th. There were a couple dozen kids in attendance, dancing to music supplied by a DJ. The Knights and the Circles used their leftover food supplies and donated a hot dog and chips dinner to everyone. There was also popcorn and lemonade available. Thank you Jim Theis, Larry VonMosch, Denny Behm and Lonnie Haase for spending your evening in the kitchen.

Bingo ResultsOur annual Turkey Bingo evening was held back on Saturday November 10th. Just over 200 people attended, following the 5:00 Mass, and enjoyed a free hot dog and chips dinner before the games began around 6:30. 30 turkeys were awarded during the 20 games which matched the number of birds purchased for the event. Whew, that was close. A profit of almost $1700 was realized, half of which will be donated to the North Anoka County Emergency Food Shelf and the other half will be added to the council’s charity fund to be donated later. Thank you to all of you that attended.Thank you donors.

Growth of the Knights of Columbus A Knights of Columbus council can work wonders; in fact, with its many programs, it can help change the community, town, city or neighborhood in which you live. However, a successful Knights of Columbus program depends on people taking the initial idea, modifying it to suit specific situations and local needs, then implementing the program in the way it works.Each local council evaluates the needs of their community and implements those programs and activities that are most needed in their area. The Knights of Columbus Service Program activities are designed to engage the council members in various

activities across a host of categories: Church, Community, Council, Family, Pro-Life, Youth

KC GREETERS COMMITTEEThe council will be greeting parishioners at St Patrick’s Church before all Masses on the 3rd weekend of each month.

District Deputy MessageFaith in Action - FamilyThis month’s Knightline has many suggested programs that will help us focus our efforts on involving families in parish life. Statistics say that the more involved parents are in their religion the more likely their children will continue practicing their faith. The Knights are here to provide opportunities for parents and children to learn and grow in their faith with programs that have been developed by brother Knights much smarter than me.Now that Advent is here we need to specifically focus our efforts on Keeping Christ in Christmas. Suggested programs include the Journey to the Inn, Light Up for Christ and the Keep Christ in Christmas poster contest. Our councils need to get busy and quickly organize.Let’s not forget the Consecration to the Holy Family program that would work will with the Feast of the Holy Family on December 30th.
