Gathering new socks and underwear for all ages. Suggestion for socks is those with some wool

received. Donations will be blessed during our service.
These will be shared with Unity Project, St. Joseph’s House with CCLC and My Sisters Place.
With a sincere thank-you for helping members of our community.

Fundraising and Social
An invitation. We invite you to “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” on January 18th, a potluck
dinner and great evening of conversation and story telling with your parish friends, and perhaps
people at church you have not met yet.
Format- a parish family/person hosts 4-8 other parish members in their home. No one knows who
will be showing up until they arrive! The host/hostess provides 1) hors d’oeuvres, and the other 3
individuals/couples who are guests supply either 2) salad and vegetables or 3) main course
or 4) dessert. All participants supply their own alcoholic drinks. Good jokes are always
welcome!.
Sign up sheets are available in the Narthex.
