Where is God in your world?
Looking forward to the new year
and reflecting on the past, The
Business Card by Dr. Steve O, Steff
with Scott Gajewsky may provide
you with some food for thought
about yourself – what you glorify: in your home, in
your workplace, in your heart? Although this book
is geared to business leaders – which I am not and
maybe you are not – it presents a unique perspective
into today’s workplace ministry movement that is
very enlightening. It introduces us to changes that
are coming about in people, companies, and
communities as a result of this movement.
Sunday, January 1, 8:30 a.m. Mass
Servers: J. Moeller, B. Smith, C. Smith
Lectors: Roger Smallwood, Bob Reynolds
To all Liturgical Ministers, please note that
as of the printing of this bulletin, not all
positions have been filled. There are sign-up
sheets in the server sacrasty. Please take a
moment to see if you can help fill in for
those away on vacation. Thank you.
STEWARDSHIP
“And the Word became flesh”
—John 1:14
Jesus is God’s ultimate gift of love to us. The
countless other blessings that God showers
upon us are nothing compared to the gift of His
only Son. The only appropriate way for us to
respond to such generous love is with our own
generous love. When we dedicate our lives to
sharing all the gifts God has placed in our
hands, the peace of Christ truly will control our
hearts and we will know Christmas joy every
day.

STEWARDSHIP OF FINANCE TERRI’S TIDBITS
SHOPPING CENTS
DID YOU KNOW that Gary Even, Gerard Geier,
Tia Gilbert, Stephen Mann, Katharine Nanry, Robert
Ramsey, James Sterwerf, Evelyn Sunderhaus, and
Michael Wolterman are all celebrating 50 years with
our Catholic Order of Foresters? Congratulations!
DID YOU KNOW that we have
moved the Commemorative
plaques in the Parish Center Foyer
to the east side of the foyer so they
are more visible and out of the
weather? We have also hung the
plaque acknowledging and
thanking the Rumpke Family for
their generous donation to the
Parish Center Floor Replacement
Project. Thanks so much to the Rumpke Family for
their support and thanks again to the floor
committee.
DID YOU KNOW that 2 hvac units on the church
rooftop have died? Each unit is approximately
$24,000. This makes the success of the Annual Fund
Drive so critical. These units had a life of 15 years.
We have gotten 20 years out of each. They exceeded
their life span. If you have given to the AFD, thank
you. If not, please consider a gift.
DID YOU KNOW that the Parish Office is closed
from December 23 till January 2? May you and your
family have a very Blessed Christmas!
Volunteers are needed to help in the parish
office on Tuesdays.
Do you have a Tuesday where you are looking to
volunteer? Do you have a few days a month you
could donate your time to help your parish?
We are looking for welcoming individuals to assist
in the front office by helping those who come into
the office and answering the phones. We would
prefer a time commitment from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00
p.m. but are flexible.
Please, if interested, call the parish office for more
information or to sign up for a trial date.
