Almighty and everlasting God, increase in us the

and 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.
For later in November:
Food donations for Thanksgiving, in lieu of wine ingathering. November is 'anything to help make a Thanksgiving Dinner' month, but all food or money donations will be gratefully accepted.
