For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me." Matthew 25:34-36 Stewardship is opening our hearts, schedules and hands to others. It means being available and willing to listen and give our time and our love to our neighbors and fellow parishioners. In doing this, we serve Christ.

There is still time to respond with a gift to this year s Appeal. Last year we exceeded our target goal of $6,400. We can do it again this year. Thanks to all who have given. MARRIAGE MOMENTS Ways to Turn Your Spouse Off #5 - Let bargain hunting rob you of time - time to serve those who don't have the money even for a bargain. Let Matthew 25 ring in your ears: "I was hungry, thirsty, a stranger, naked, ill, in prison..." Spend some time and money responding to this sales pitch from Christ the King as Christmas approaches. PARENTING POINTERS Nov 26: Thanksgiving is over. Let the shopping begin! Or must it? The Friday after Thanksgiving is often called Black Friday - the day stores start to make a profit. Buying gifts isn't inherently bad, but giving an experience is often more memorable. Why not stay home and play a game. *(By Susan Voqt, www.susanvoqt.net) All who are not receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to express in their hearts a prayerful desire for unity with the Lord Jesus and with one another.
