November 2024

December 1^st is the first Sunday of the Advent Season.  It is also the start of a new church or liturgical year, Cycle “C” during which the Gospel readings each Sunday will primarily focus on the Gospel according to Saint Luke.  Advent gives us the opportunity to prepare ourselves, physically, emotionally and spiritually for the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Please resolve to spend a few minutes each day in prayer and reflection so that you may truly appreciate God’s great gift to His people, Eternal Life in the form of the Baby Jesus.

Today, at 10:45 AM, we will host a Special Breakfast and Service in the Fellowship Hall recognizing our veterans.  We will be honored by the presence of a guest speaker from the PA National Guard, Captain Brandon Sweeney.   This breakfast and service will be free to all who attend.  Please see the flyers on the table in the vestibule for more information.  Take several and spread the word to your friends and neighbors.   November 11^th is set aside each year to remember and to honor all those who serve or who have served in the armed forces of the United States of America, especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for us and for our freedom.  Please, do not forget or diminish their service in any way.  Go out of your way to thank a veteran or active duty member this week and pray for their safety always.
