Caroling – Students, teens and young adults are invited to carol for shut-ins on Sunday, January 14 at noon (following Church School).  Youngsters should gather with Fr. Andrii in the church hall.  Drivers may be needed.  Refreshments will be served at some time during the afternoon.  Parishioners who would enjoy having the carolers visit their homes or the homes of loved ones are asked to give Father those names during the morning.

St. Nicholas Program – My warmest thanks go to the teachers, parents and teens who worked so hard to make our St. Nicholas program so great.  Special thanks go to the children who put their hearts into the presentation.  It was beautiful.

STEWARDSHIP

Advent Toy Collection – Heartfelt thanks to all who generously donated to our Advent Toy Collection project.  Although we donated fewer toys than usual this year, they were gratefully received.  God bless all of you for your kindness.

LOOKING AHEAD

Scout Sunday – Scout Sunday will be observed on February 4 when Fr. Andrii will bless the scouts of the parish and their leaders (Girl Scouts/Boy Scouts of the USA, CYM, Plast).  If you or your child participates in any of these groups, please give their names to Cynthia Sirick in writing (czsirick@gmail.com)  by Feb. 1 so that the list will appear in the Feb. 4 Sunday bulletin.  Do not assume that if the names were on last year’s list that they will be on this year’s as the names change each year.

Girl Scout Cookies – Cora Josefiak will be selling Girl Scout cookies this month.  If you wish to place an order, please see her during “Coffee and…”  If there is any other scout participating in this program, please see Cynthia Sirick so that her name could also appear in the bulletin.  Remember that it is possible to order cookies to be sent to our troops, an excellent way to avoid the calories and support our service people.
