Here are the highlights for the upcoming week and beyond:

- Thanksgiving Mass is tonight, Wednesday, November 27th at 6pm.
- The office will be closed on Thursday and Friday this week.
- Our flower guild is now 5 strong but we need to expand to a minimum of 6 members; this allows for members to take time away and no one will have to serve more than once a month. This team will rotate on a weekly basis and concentrate their efforts on arranging flowers each week in the church. The time commitment is about an hour a week for one person, in most cases. Please contact the office at 434.589.5201.
- If you are interested in displaying your nativity at Lessons & Carols, please bring it to the Hall on Saturday, December 14th between 10am – 2pm.

- Lessons & Carols is on Sunday, December 14th at 2pm. Santa will be available to hear your wishes; there will be classic stories and carols for all to enjoy. The children will entertain us and let’s not forget the Nativity Exhibit – special this year, the kids will display their own creations of the Nativity. We are seeking donations of cookies for this festive event.
- This year, we will once again have Christmas dinner for parishioners who otherwise would be alone. There is a sign-up sheet on the kitchen door in the Commons and a box to drop a donation for the turkey fund. Let us know what side dish or dessert you are able to bring and share with others.
- What do Good Shepherds, Ushers and the Bake Sale ministries all have in common? They all need help. If you want to learn more and think you can help, please call the office (434.589.5201) for more info.
