Marriage Tip of the Week Holiday tradition tip: For newlyweds, blending each other’s Advent and Christmas traditions is fun but also challenging. Take time to learn what your spouse’s childhood traditions are, and why

they matter to him or her.

30 Weeks! The countdown begins to our 25th Parish Anniversary. We became a parish from a mission on July 16, 1991. Save the date of July 16, 2016 to celebrate

It’s that time of year again! If you would like to purchase a pontsettia in memory or honor of a loved, envelopes are in the back of church. Suggested donation is $10 per plant.

DATES TO REMEMBER

December 20, 27 No classes, Christmas break Week of January 3 – All classes resume If You Look For Me At Christmas You won’t need a special star- I’m no longer just in Bethlehem, I’m right there where you are. You may not be aware of Me amid the celebrations ~ You’ll have to look beyond the stores and all the decorations. But if you take a moment From your list of things to do And listen to your heart, you’ll find I’m waiting there for you. You’re the one I want to be with, You’re the reason that I came, And you’ll find me in the stillness As I’m whispering your name. Love, Jesus
