“AND THERE WERE SHEPHERDS LIVING OUT IN THE FIELDS NEARBY, KEEPING WATCH OVER THEIR FLOCK
AT NIGHT. AN ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARED TO THEM, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD SHONE AROUND
THEM, AND THEY WERE TERIFIED. BUT THE ANGEL SAID TO THEM..DO NOT BE AFRAID. I BRING YOU GOOD
NEWS OF GREAT JOY FOR ALL PEOPLE. TODAY IN THE TOWN OF DAVID A SAVIOR HAS BEEN BORN TO
YOU; HE IS CHRIST THE LORD.” ~ THE GOSPEL OF LUKE

Merry Christmas!
I would challenge all my brother Knights to a contest. There are no Judges but yourself. I want each of us to personally challenge yourself to say Merry Christmas to at least 100 hundred people this Christmas season. I said Merry Christmas (Not Happy Holidays). Lets remember what the season is about. In these tough economic times, people are hurting. It does not cost me are you a thing to offer the gift of a smile and a heart felt Merry Christmas to a person. It may be just what that person needed on that particular day.
Thanks to all who gave donations and those who helped out with Thanksgiving. It was a very successful event. We delivered approximately 375 meals and fed another 150 are so at the Church. I also want to thank all who helped with Breakfast with Santa. A special thanks to Hiram Upchurch, who has co-coordinated the event for the last few years. We will not have a First Friday Fish Fry and Mass in January. The first Friday of January is (January 2nd), and it is felt that we would have a extremely low turnout as most will take a long weekend to spend it with family. We will have a First Degree Exemplification on Tuesday January 20. If you have any candidates please let Dennis Staples know or myself. Contact Pat Madison if you would like to participate on the degree team. We will have a religious appreciation Dinner on Monday January 12. I need a volunteer to coordinate the meal. This is the time when we invite all our Priest, CCD Teachers and our teachers in the Catholic Schools for a meal. We will have the meal at 6 on that Monday.
There will be a Blood Drive on December 30 at St Josephs from 1 until 6.30. Contact Dennis Staples for a time. Also we will be selling pecans in December after Masses. We need to get rid of the pecans gentleman. If there are any of you who would like to buy the pecans for yourself contact Joe Moran are me. Brother Hiram will be sending
out Dues notices at the end of December.
Please help him out by paying your dues in a timely manner. If there is a problem with that, let Hiram know. We just don't want to waste postage sending out multiple reminders. Once again I want to wish each
of you a Merry Christmas.
Vivat Jesus!
