5th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Greetings:
Your bulletin: https://saintspeterpaulpalmyra.org/february-6th-2022/
Here are the highlights:
- The church is in need of your help. We have some trees that came down with the first snow storm in January and the debris needs to be moved to the woods. At least one of the trees still needs to be cut up and moved. If you are able-bodied and interested in helping get the trees cleaned up, we are planning a clean-up day on Saturday, February 12th, beginning at 10am. Bring gloves and a snack/lunch. We will make sure that water is available. The more we have helping, the quicker it will go. Thank you.
- Youth Group – the next event is GAME NIGHT on Friday, February 18th (not 16th, as stated in this week’s bulletin). (p. 4)
- The Bake Sale returns this weekend after both Masses. Please don’t leave empty-handed. Your support is so greatly appreciated.
- Sts. Peter and Paul is doing a new pictorial directory! We want everyone to get a new picture made so that our new directory will be complete. IT WON’T BE COMPLETE WITHOUT YOU! You can make your appointment at church on the sign-up sheets, or, you can click on the link below and make your appointment on-line. (If you are the head of a ministry or an employee, please make sure you schedule an appointment.) Please go ahead and do that now. (p. 9) Link: https://instant-scheduling.com/sch.php?kn=3534502&typId=63981&step=2. Photo dates are: MARCH 18 & 19, 2022. There will be Sign-up weekends starting February 12th, if you need assistance in this process.*
- Fr. David has been delayed in his return to the States by a week. Fr. Biber will return this weekend at all Masses.
- The Synod meetings have begun. The next meeting is Wednesday, Feb. 8th at 1pm. Your input is very important. (p. 9)
- The Knights of Columbus are busy planning for the return of Fish Fry-days during lent. If you are able to help during any or all the dates please contact Doug Mullinex at [email protected]. (p. 7)
- If you are in either building after normal business hours, please, please, please, be sure to:
- NOT prop doors open (we cannot afford to heat outside of the building).
- turn lights off (even if you didn’t turn them on)
- return the thermostat to its original setting (if you adjusted it)
- turn off/unplug the portable heater (chapel users only)
- turn around and make sure the outermost doors have completely closed behind you. (Yank on the door to make sure it doesn’t open.) There has been more than one occasion where these doors have been found to be not securely shut all the way.
- Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
- Finally, with great sadness we announce the passing of 2 parishioners: JoAnne Henry and Patricia Downs. Planning is still on-going so no dates are known at this time. Please pray for the repose of their souls and their families during this difficult time.
*If you would like to volunteer to sign parishioners up before and after Mass please contact the office 434.589.5201 to let Karen know when you are available.
Peace
Karen Davidson
