Holy Family Altar Society needs YOU! We are in need of volunteers to help with church cleaning and other duties! Each month a team of 3 or 4 volunteers meet once a week to dust pews, vacuum the altar, day chapel, and cry room, dust mop the church floors, wash and refill holy water fonts, and discard flower arrangements. We also need someone to fill the oil candles on a regular basis and replace any wax can-dles as needed. Polishing and cleaning the altar vessels is another area that needs assistance. Any church member or group is welcome and encouraged to volunteer! Please con-tact Pat Abbott at 532-5844 or Bitsy Lockley at 979-533-4081 if you have any questions regarding scheduling and/or sign up of these duties in 2016. We appreciate all the sup-port you have provided in the past and look forward to hear-ing from you in the future! 2 Samuel 2:6 “And now may the Lord show kindness and truth to you. I also will repay you this kindness, because you have done this thing.”
