The Altar candles today are being offered by the Timbas Family in memory of Larry Timbas to light the path for him to continue on his journey.
There will be a Memorial Coffee hour after services for Larry Tim-bas, sponsored by the Timbas Family.
Girl Scouts: Brownie leader desperately needed for the St. George
Brownie Troop. At this time, the leader for that group had to step
down, and there is nobody to lead the girls. This person would only
need to help the girls work towards badges. Everything else will be
handled by the Junior Troop leader (field trips, cookies, etc). This
is a very rewarding position to anyone from our Community who is
interested. Please contact Jason Cote (603-540-2800) for de-
tails Thank you!

Penelope’s Place
Penelope’s Place is a residential program for individu-
als and families fleeing from life-threatening situations
as a result of domestic violence. In 2009, it formed a
new partnership between its parent organization, Health
Imperatives, in Brockton, MA and the Daughters of Pe-
nelope Bay State District #8. Trained professionals help
residents of Penelope’s Place to balance their healing
from trauma with their need to acquire critical life
skills to prepare for transitions into more independent
living.
Our local chapter of the Daughters of Penelope has a
box in the lobby of the Community Center. It is labeled
with a Wish List for residents of Penelope’s Place.
Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR SUNDAY, DECEMBER 29, 2013
THE APOSTOLIC READING
The Reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Galatians 1:11-19
BRETHREN, I would have you know that the gospel which was
preached by me is not man's gospel. For I did not receive it from
man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus
Christ. For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I
persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it; and
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my
people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.
But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and had
called me through his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son to me,
in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not
confer with flesh and blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those
who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia; and
again I returned to Damascus. Then after three years I went up to
Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days.
But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's
brother.

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR SUNDAY, DECEMBER 29, 2013
THE GOSPEL READING: SUNDAY AFTER THE NATIVITY
OF CHRIST
The reading is from the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew
(2.13-23).
When the Magi had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord
appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and
his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there till I tell you; for
Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him." And he
rose and took the child and his mother by night, and departed to
Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to
fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet "Out of Egypt
have I called my son."
Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise
men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male
children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years
old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from
the wise men. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet
Jeremiah:
"A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation,
Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled,
because they were no more."
But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a
dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, "Rise, take the child and his
mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the
child's life are dead." And he rose and took the child and his
mother, and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that
Archelaus reigned over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was
afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream he withdrew to
the district of Galilee. And he went and dwelt in a city called
Nazareth, that what was spoken by the prophets might be
fulfilled, "He shall]\be called a Nazarene."
