CASA: CITIZENS AGAINST SPOUSE ABUSE
 Violence Breaks Up Families... and Ruins Lives
Due the economy, CASA funding has been cut. The safe houses are in need
of groceries-- especially food cards from any grocery store, in any
amount, will be greatly appreciated.
Since June, our church has donated 31 bags/boxes to CASA, which included
clothing, household items, books, and non-perishable food. A big "thank
you" to everyone who has contributed.
During this flu season they especially need hand sanitizers for the safe
houses, as well as paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels.
They also need laundry detergent. Please bring all your donations to
church marked CASA. Thank you for your generosity.
 WANTED -
YOUR PHOTOS
We would like your pictures from church events to be included in our
monthly newsletter and on our parish website. If you have digital
pictures please e-mail them to Donna
Tripp at the office.
One of this year's raffle prizes was a signed
and
numbered print (No. 001) of our church. A
total of 200 prints have been made and
signed as a fundraiser for our church.
The signed, unframed prints are $20 each,
and would make a great gift for someone who
has a wedding or a baptism, etc. in our
church. The prints could be matted with the
date of the event to commemorate a special
occasion.
These prints are available in the church
office, and proceeds will benefit our parish. |
As you can see from the
pictures in our gallery The Red Cross Christmas Day dinner
was a huge success. I would like to give a heart-felt thanks to
all who were able to support this good cause. To everyone who
donated food, your time, and money we would not have feed as
many as the Red Cross did without your support.
The Red Cross came to our January 4, 2010 parish council meeting
to express their gratitude. They shared with us that they had
never felt as welcome as they were by our community in the 20
years this event had taken placed. The Red Cross felt that they
had entered our home and they were comforted by our Christian
charity in the days before the dinner and on Christmas Day.
To those who were unable to participate, we will look forward to
seeing you next year as we have invited the Red Cross to have
their Christmas Day Dinner in our Fellowship Hall in 2010.
Thank you ~ Anastasia Spirakis, Chair
St. John Name Day Dinner and Vasilopita
