Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The annual Santa's Seconds sale will take place on Saturday, December 6 from 10AM to 3PM. Setup will be on Friday, December 5, starting at 10AM. All volunteers are welcome (and needed!).. A light lunch will be served on both days. Last year, profits from the sale were the highest ever because many new items were generously donated. Things that sell well include jewelry, stationery, greeting cards, Xmas decorations, clothing with a Christmas motif, linens, pictures, knick-knacks, candles, toys, games, and current books. Items should be in good repair.. Old pieces of luggage; single, unmatched glasses and coffee mugs; and old computers and accessories do not sell well, and it would be better to donate such items to local thrift shops. Donations may be left on the back of the stage in the parish hall during the week preceding the sale. If you have questions, please call Stephanie Roberts at 253/840-4370.

support the Emergency Food Network, the County's non-profit distribution
center for food banks and hot meal sites, including Puyallup's FISH food
bank. The EFN will use the funds to provide food for the more than 143,000
Pierce County residents that visit food banks and hot meal sites each month.
With gratitude,
