Dear Parishioners,

Once again you were incredible! I wish to thank everyone who donated money, food, picked up boxes and taped and marked them, filled those boxes with foods and those who delivered to the shut ins; and to the people who donated gifts for the second year in a row, more than thank you. That is so lovely. The donor of the beautiful, brown men’s coat must have had Jesus whisper in his ear because when we workers saw the coat we knew just who it was meant for. The person came in wearing his son’s vest because his coat was too raggedy to come to church in. If you could have seen the look on his face when he tried it on and knew that he could keep it! We were all so thrilled and happy for him. That was our gift, to see him warm and so grateful. Mr. Cookie Man and his sweet wife were at it again. They made enough cookies for 57 boxes. That means 57 families and that fed 215 mouths! Wonderful. Judy Duffy and Erle Blanchard are taking the heavy work over for me while I am having my problem and they are doing a great job. You took care of you neighbors and made God very happy. Thank you from all of us workers. I hope I have remembered everyone, forgive me if I have forgotten to mention some one or thing and send me a note. Next time we’ll take care of it. May God bless you all! Anna
