Greetings,

1.  If you donate through Electronic Funds Transfer, there was a screw
up this month, and your donation was taken out twice.  As soon as I
heard that this morning, I got on the phone to the bank to reverse the
second transfer and it is underway.  However it will take a couple of
days to fix.  I apologize and if you need reimbursement for any
overdraft charges, let me know and we will cover it.

2.  This Sunday we will have a speaker from Catholic Community Services
to let us know about the work they do in our Archdiocese.  They will
also be asking for your support if you are able.

3.  There will be a bake sale after each Mass to support the women’s
spring retreat.  Plan to get your Christmas baking done by someone else!

4.  The Giving Garland is up with tags for our Pantry Families, Lazarus
Day Center, and Juvenile Detention Ministry.  Be sure to pick up one or
more tags.  The gift cards and donations need to be back by December 11.

5.  Stewardship:  we are at 75% of our participation goal and 76% of our
financial goal.  Follow up letters are being sent.  You may make your
pledge by responding to this email if you wish.

6.  Explorers 68:  next meeting is the Sunday at 6 pm.
