Sign-ups: Lent is earlier this year (February 22nd), and parishioners will soon need to register for our next series of "Why Catholic?" faith-sharing sessions. Sign-ups are scheduled for the weekend of January 14-15th, and are necessary for all who wish to participate, those returning and those new to the sessions. This is the next session in a series on sacraments we began last Lent, and the same book will be used. We will need to order the books at $10 each for the people who will be joining the upcoming Lenten session. Watch the bulletin for the sessions schedule, and contact Carl if you would like to facilitate a group, or if you have any questions. Liturgical Ministries: If you are interested in being a Communion Minister, or in the liturgical ministries of Server or Reader, contact either Deacon Gerry Mattingly or Carl Fahringer. If you are interested in being a Hospitality Minister (Usher), contact Darren Esterle; Music ministry, contact either Mary Creed or Hank Lawson; if you are willing to help with Art and Environment, contact Connie Eisenback. We all have gifts to share, and what better ministries than these? 2011 Catholic Service Appeal - Bringing Christ to Others: In our December 15th update from the Office of Stewardship, we have learned that All Saints Parishioners have donated a total of $4,425, exceeding our goal of $3,750. We are grateful to those who made this possible, and suggest that you consider making a donation to this worthy cause if you have not yet done so gifts can be made online, or by using the envelopes in the back of church. Many thanks!
