Special Remembrance of the Dead: We are going to place 2 tables in the Sanctuary for you to place the pictures of the deceased in you family that you want to remember. Bring these pictures on the weekend of October 28th -29th. The pictures must be framed in some way, no bigger than 5x7, and able to stand up on their own. Please put you name on them so they can be returned if you forget to pick them up. These pic-tures will form a kind of Family Portrait of our Parish Members who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith. We will leave these up in church and ask that you take the pictures home after Tuesday, Nov. 14. During this time we will have candles burning for the ones who have died this past year. Family mem-bers can take this candle home on Tuesday, Nov. 14th.

A special thanks to

all who helped in any way with the Fall Happening - whether you donated items, served

food, helped clean up, or just attended. It was a huge success because of you! Thank You!!

- HT CCW (Guild)
