Are Your Creative Juices Flowing?
We have an opportunity for you! |

 Does this time of year bring out your inner artist? Have you noticed the two bulletin boards at the Vine Street entrances of the church? We have three bulletin boards in the Parish Center hallway that are in need of inspiration! See if you can be inspired to design one of them - or all three! - for the Christmas season. The boards are approximately 45" high by 93" wide. You can use paper, paint, chalk, or crayon. Send in your design ideas to Laurie Jurecki or drop them off at the parish office before December 15, and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We know it's short notice, but are hoping that some of you will see this as an opportunity to express your Christmas Spirit and add beauty to our halls.
We would like to be able to put up the bulletin boards sometime on the weekend of December 18, or during the week before Christmas. Make sure you include your name, phone number, email, and a list of any supplies you will need. Questions? Contact Laurie Jurecki at 440-854-6013. |

SMM Holiday Party & Sing-Along Tickets Now Available!
Back by popular request! You are invited to join us as we share our Christmas Dreams at the SMM Holiday Party and Sing--Along on December 17. Festivities begin at 5:30 in the SMM Gym, and include a light supper, activities, sing-along, and FUN for all ages! Tickets are $2 each (under age 3 FREE), advance purchase only. Entertainment provided by SMM Music Ministry. Click here for details. | Help us restock the pantry!
The morning of the Sing-Along, our St. Vincent de Paul will provide baskets of Christmas dinner for 100 families, so we'd like to help them re-stock their shelves. Please bring non-perishable food items for the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry. Still want to share bakery? Support our Bake Sale!
In the past, we asked folks to bring bakery to the Holiday Party & Sing-Along, but this year our Christmas Bake Sale is the same weekend. Instead of bringing bakery to the Sing-Along, we ask you to support our Bake Sale. Donations can be brought to room 103 any time after 9am on Friday 12/16 or Saturday 12/17. Yummy treats will be available for purchase after all the masses that weekend.
Holiday Party and Sing-Along tickets are available for purchase in the parish office during regular business hours, and after all the Masses this weekend. Contact Mary Hrich with questions. |

 There is still time to support the Advent Giving Tree
Through your generous support, our Advent Giving Tree helps the outreach of Birthright, Project Hope, the West Side Catholic Center, and our St. Vincent de Paul Society. Please bring in your Advent Giving Tree gifts by this Sunday, December 11. | Many hands make light work!
We could use some help sorting and carrying Advent Giving Tree gifts after the 11:30 Mass this Sunday, December 11 and during the day Monday, December 12. Please contact Laurie Jurecki if you are able to assist. |

Please Support the Mission and Ministry of SMM!
Your financial support helps change lives for the better. With Christmas falling on a Sunday this year, please note there is not a separate Sunday envelope. We count on your contributions to carry out our gospel call. Please be as generous as possible - and consider automated giving. Contact Deacon Carl with questions about contributions. Thank you for your support! |
