33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Greetings:

Your bulletin: https://saintspeterpaulpalmyra.org/november-17th-2024/

Here are the highlights for the upcoming week and beyond:

• You will start seeing and hearing information about Giving Tuesday on December 3rd. Please don’t miss this very important event. See page 3 of this weekend’s bulletin for more information.
• Please note: During the month of November, the Poor Box has been converted to a donation box for Happy Face. Please make checks payable to Sts. Peter and Paul and note Happy Face on the memo line.
• 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 see page 6 in the bulletin or contact the office at 434.589.5201.
• Our Parish Mission is coming up on November 21st – 23rd. We will have 2 guest speakers from St. Edward the Confessor in Richmond that will offer talks at 10am on Thursday and Friday and will repeat again at 7pm. Each day starts with Mass at 9am. Saturday Mass will be at 10am, then brunch, leading to the final talk at 11am. Please see the posters at the front of the church or the kitchen door in the Commons for details on the talks. Our theme is Eucharistic Revival: Year of MISSION. Bring your Bible.

• If you have misplaced any items in the church, come see Karen in the office; it’s where many lost things go.
• If you have recently changed your email address or phone number or signed up for Faith Direct and no longer need envelopes, please send a note to the office so we can update the system and make sure you don’t miss out on any information we have to share with you.
