Once again this year we would like to invite our young people in grades one through six to enter into a competition to produce our Annual Parish Christmas Card. We are asking our young artists who have talent in drawing, painting or photography to submit an entry of the Angel announcing the news of the Birth of the Savior. The entry must be submitted on 8 ½ by 10 white paper. The entry must have the artists name, phone number and an email address on the reverse side of the paper. All entries must be submitted to the parish office no later than Sunday, November 20, 2016. The winning entry will be reproduced into a Christmas Card which will be mailed out to all parishioners during the middle of December. On a more immediate note, the month of November is a time for us to remember our beloved dead. Once again this year, we invite everyone in the parish to bring small framed photos of their family and friends who have died. You can begin bringing pictures of your loved ones to the Church on the weekend of October 29/30 and place them on the window sills throughout the worship space. As we gather for liturgy during the month of November we will be surrounded by the memory of our loved ones who have gone before us and rest now in the peace of Christ. Finally, we are beginning plans for our Thanksgiving Food Baskets. Turkeys and other food supplies will be welcome all thru the month of October and into November. Sincerely, Fr. Tom Dragga Harvest Blessing God our Creator, who never cease to bestow your bounteous fruits from the rains of the heavens and the riches of the soil, we thank your loving majesty for this year s harvest. Through these blessings of your generosity you have fulfilled the hopes of your children. Grant that together they may praise your mercy without end and in their life amid the good things of this world strive also after the blessings of the world to come. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. -- Book of Blessings

The goal is to help children with reading and math skills. The program will be at Nathan Hale from 2:30 to 4 PM. Parents are supporting this project and the Thea Bowman Center is helping project by trying to recruit tutors. Tutors can give whatever hours/week that they can do: 1 day or 2 days and we ask people to be as consistent as possible because you will be assigned to up to 5 students depending on how much time you can give. Your help would be a major BOOST to the children in this school and to the Mt Pleasant Community. The school has identified about 80 children for the tutoring program. The children will receive a free meal through the food bank. This will be a work in progress but I feel confident that we can help the children/school if we can get the tutor support needed.
