And join us in the Fireplace Room
It’s no secret we live in a divisive world, fracturing relationships between neighbors, friends, and families. How can each of us do a better job at building trust and creating common-ground conversations? Join the Mission & Action Committee for a skill-building workshop and panel discussion that explores healthy conflict from three perspectives: ministry, clinical practice, and the real-world de-escalation techniques of law enforcement. RSVP to the Church Office.
This is the last week to help create a Merry Christmas for children in DCYF care. Look for our Angel Tree in the coatroom. Simply choose a tag – or tags – from the tree. Each bears a child’s name, age, gender, and suggested gift. Select a thoughtful, age-appropriate item. Wrap your gift, write the contents on back of the original tag, and attach it. Then deliver the gifts back to the Angel Tree by Dec. 14.
Bring family and friends to the La Salette Shrine Christmas Festival of Lights – featuring more than one million holiday lights! This year’s theme is “Rejoice in Hope! (Romans 12:12, 13:12). As we walk through the brilliant display, we not only will experience holiday beauty and sparkle, but also Christ’s hope shining for the world. Please join us at The National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette (947 Park St., Attleboro, Mass.)
