ADVENT
How should we prepare for Christmas? Before we answer that question we should determine to which Christmas we are referring: the “commercial” Christmas or the “spiritual” Christmas. To many people Christmas no longer means, “The birthday of the baby Jesus.” Christmas to them only means shopping, gifts, travel, the family coming home, the big meal and so on. To prepare for that Christmas people spend hours upon hours shopping, planning, sending cards and attending parties.
The “coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” is what we should really prepare for. The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is fine. The gifts, the shopping, the family gatherings are wonderful. But that’s the “commercial” Christmas. Today, as we begin Advent, let all of us consider the question, “How am I going to prepare for the “spiritual” Christmas ... the birthday of Jesus Christ?”                                                                  (Friedl & Macauley

Church Envelopes

For the coming year all the envelopes are again in the one box, which comes into use on this Sunday, including the Priest’s revenue envelopes.  For the Monthly collection you are again invited to make payment for the year or half-year if possible.  I also invite those who don’t contribute to the collections to make a start this coming year.  A sincere ‘thank-you’ to those who do contribute and those who organise the collections.
We are also sending out a Questionnaire seeking your willingness to participate in various Parish ministries.  Please return this ASAP.

For instance, coffee shops have menus of brown color or shades of the same hue in order to bring the atmosphere of the cafe and set it in the menu. Whereas, a Japanese or Chinese restaurant would make a more colorful menu that uses images that reflect their culture and their food – since their dishes include various colors. This blog will be showing you some of the most amazing menu designs for your use.I seriously appreciate people like you! Take care!!;)!!visit my site and Play
