Yes, you can watch a favorite program together, but beware of TV or videos stealing time from playing together. PARENTING POINTERS Sick this Week Annie McDuffie If you are aware of a parishioner who is ill, please get their permission to have their name printed on the sick list, and inform the parish office. On All Souls' Day (Nov. 2) we remember those who have died. Death can be scary, especially to children. Honor those you know who have died. Perhaps try a dinner prayer like, "Dear God, we thank you for the life of who taught us to. Include pets if you wish. 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.
