Giving Tree - Thank You All The Christmas elves from Black River Good Neighbors came to the church and gathered the presents from under the tree. As always they were overwhelmed by the generosity of the parishioners and their thoughtful selection of gifts for the children. The elves will spend a week organizing bags of gifts for all the children in each family. On December 21, food baskets and your gifts will be delivered to the humblest homes in our neighborhoods and in the more remote corners of the area. The deliveries will bring joy to the children, and families will be able to share a warm and festive holiday meal together. Families are grateful to all the people who have been so generous. May we all share the joy of helping others in the greater community and pray for the well being of all in the year ahead. Miracle Sunday Sunday, February 11, 2018 is the 50th anniversary of the day I was critically injured in a catastrophic skiing accident. No one thought I would live, but God had other plans. I plan to lead the church in worship that day - Miracle Sunday. I know that there are other parishioners whose lives have been touched by God in miraculous ways. If you would like to share your story, that of a loved one, or have someone else tell your story, please contact me.
