Gifts at the Altar

October 8, 2009

Dear Parents/Guardians,

On October 17, the youth of St. John the Baptist are invited to follow the gift bearers to the altar and deposit needed supplies for the Southeast Linn Community Center in Lisbon.  Two baskets will be placed on either side of the altar for the donated paper products, dry goods, etc.  Members of the Social Justice Commission will deliver the collected items to the Center.  This mission will be continued each weekend at both the Saturday and Sunday Mass.

Southeast Linn Community Center serves families in the Mt. Vernon and Lisbon school district. The center has requests for canned and dry goods that would include flour and sugar.  They ask that the flour and sugar be purchased in 5# bags as they have to be put in plastic bags.  Paper products in demand are toilet paper and Kleenex.  Canned and dry goods are always wanted.  We request that you check the date on the cans. Outdated food will not be delivered.  The center always has need for cash.  If you give cash, put it in a sealed envelope and note that it is for Southeast Linn Community Center. 

Together, as stewards of God’s creation, we can move mountains by bringing one can of food, a box of Kleenex or other requested items and adding them to the baskets on either side of the altar, filling them up quickly until they overflow. 

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink..." Matthew 25:35

Peace,

Social Justice Commission Members
Randy Jaeger, Linda Noll, Mark Anton, Niki Krob, Sue Shettler, Linda Hansmeier
