"NO BODY CAN DO EVERYTHING BUT EVERY BODY CAN DO SOMETHING"

Thank you Eucharistic Ministry for the donation for the meal.
 
This year we are hoping to prepare for and serve 2000 guests dinner in our hall on Christmas Day.  This may seem like a lot but if you look at how many in our community who are in need, lonely or who just need a spirit filled place to be to celebrate the birthday of Jesus, this a not a lot.  We know that this will only be possible by the grace and blessings of God and through your  support by your donation of your time, talent and treasure.  Your time, by asking God in prayer  to abundantly bless us with guests and  enough  food for their body and  spiritual nourishment to reach out and touch their souls in his name by our example of faith through our works,
 
Time to wrap a gift or sort clothing.  Come share in the day on Christmas.  Everyone cannot serve a dinner to our guests but gosh there are so many ways you touch a guests and leave your imprints on their heart and soul at the dinner.
 
Talent, cook or carve  a turkey, cook rice, toast bread, bake a favor cake or pie,  Help decorate the hall . Wash a pot or two. We need you to share your talent with us.
Treasure ,if you are so blessed that you can donate some of the listed items that we need to serve our 2000 guests or make a monetary donation,  praise God.  Please make your check payable to Sr. Agatha  with S.H.A.R.E. in the memo and place in an envelope marked S.H.A.R.E. Ministry.  It will  not be credited to S.H.A.R.E. without being in a  envelope marked S.H.A.R.E..
 
 Every body can join us in making this Christmas Day an awesome celebration of the birthday of Jesus.
We are dedicating this Christmas Day Dinner in honor and memory of Jean Guelpa and Mildred Collins.  Jean who started the Adopt a family and Angel Tree and who  not only fought to have our weekly S.H.A.R.E. program reinstated at St,. Agatha  she also served weekly until her health prevented her from serving then she donated. 
 And our  dear beloved sister Mildred who was our fist ever St. Agatha  Senior Queen. She wrapped gifts from the day we stared  at 10 AM to Christmas morning and then stayed all day and served the desserts.  She'd go home and come back with that special box we needed,   Mildred never said no when asked to serve.  You wanna bet she;s pulling God's sleeve and saying " Lord please give them what they need ".
 
The sign up sheets are out.  The flyers are ready.  All we need is YOU!  Don't pass that hungry stranger on the street give them a flyer, it just might be God you know. Test giving  your smile away this Christmas season
 
We"re in the hall December 18-24,  10A-6PM and Christmas Day 7AM- clean up.
I pray that God gives that gentle touch that Mildred has asked for this Christ season to you..
May God continue to bless you and all you love and hold dear with all of His abundant blessings.
 
Thank you.
 
Blessings,
The S.H.A.R.E. Ministry
