DAILY BREAD SOUP KITCHEN No Body Should Go Hungry The Daily Bread Soup Kitchen is still very active in the town of Woodstock!

To those of you who are already volunteering, THANK YOU SO MUCH. Without you, the DBSK would not be able to function.

Please consider volunteering for this worthy cause. If you have a couple of hours once a month for the next several months, or even just once please call!

Should we return to our home after a long absence, we quickly revert to its familiar speech and practices. Our deep memory is reflected in old stories and words and speech patterns.

In remembering and recollecting, we are in turn gathered up and re-collected. Today we remember Mary, a small figure travelling the country roads to visit Elizabeth.

The memories of her people are alive in her, and memories of her nourish our own living faith. Yours in Christ, Fr. George Saint Ann s Church, Sawkill Road Holiday Mass on Sat., Dec.

3 DAILY BREAD SOUP KITCHEN No Body Should Go Hungry The Daily Bread Soup Kitchen is still very active in the town of Woodstock! While Christ s Lutheran Church is doing the scheduling for the soup kitchen, Saint John s is still actively seeking volunteers to work in the soup kitchen. To those of you who are already volunteering, THANK YOU SO MUCH. Without you, the DBSK would not be able to function. If you would like to join the current volunteers, please call me (Barbara Runz) at or me at bjtr@hvc.rr.com. The DBSK is open from 4-6 Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Please consider volunteering for this worthy cause. If you have a couple of hours once a month for the next several months, or even just once please call! MEMORIES AND DREAMS Throughout our lives, we retain the language and habits of our native region and family of origin. Should we return to our home after a long absence, we quickly revert to its familiar speech and practices. Our deep memory is reflected in old stories and words and speech patterns. This familiarity runs like an underground river and accompanies us wherever we go. Not only do we remember, we are incorporated into and made part of a greater memory. In remembering and recollecting, we are in turn gathered up and re-collected. Today we remember Mary, a small figure travelling the country roads to visit Elizabeth. All the great pronouncements and dreams of the prophets point to this time when the Lord s words to Mary would be gathered and fulfilled. The memories of her people are alive in her, and memories of her nourish our own living faith. Yours in Christ, Fr. George Saint Ann s Church, Sawkill Road Holiday Mass on Sat., Dec. 29 th at 12:00 Noon. Join Us!!!
