Angel Tree

The Angel Tree is in the back of church.  This is a great opportunity to help children in our community this Christmas.  If you feel called to help, please take a tag with a child’s name off of the tree.  There is a sign-in book next to the Christmas tree.  Please don’t forget to sign your name and phone number next to the name/number off the tag you choose.  All gifts should be brought to the church no later than Sunday, December 17th.  For more information, please call Cherie Prentiss at 228-365-4017 or Bunny Thompson at 228-233-5400.

PARISH FAMILY CHRISTMAS TREE

Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ and the Christmas tree is symbolic of His birth and resurrection.  It also represents the tree of life. 

Please join us in decorating our church Christmas tree by bringing an ornament that you use on your own family Christmas tree.  Sign your name on the tag and attach it to your ornament.  Bring the ornament to the church and put it in the box at the entrance of the church.  Your family ornament will be placed on the Church Christmas tree.  Together, we hope that Father Daniel will look at this tree and know how much we appreciate all he is doing for us as a parish family!

Christmas Dinner for our Senior Parishioners

A Christmas holiday meal for our parish seniors 60 years and older will be held on Sunday, December 3rd from 12 noon to 2pm at Our Mother of Sorrows parish hall.  Along with a great meal, we will play bingo and sing Christmas carols.  Please sign up in the back of church or call the office at 435-0007.   Come join us for food and fellowship and bring your Christmas spirit!!
