Women of St. Timothy Christmas Boutique, etc.

We were blessed with the opportunity to have a table at the Christmas Boutique again this year... Yay, Women of St. Timothy! Big thanks to Kathi, Elissa, and Matt who all made things to sell at our table, and who staffed the table as well. Great job, all of you! We'll find out in the next few days how much we made. Whatever the proceeds, it was good to get the word out there about our pilgrimage and let our community know who we are and why it's so important that we get to Australia in July.

Our Pancake Breakfast is already coming up again next Sunday. Thank you to Elissa and her mom for contacting Mrs. Deupree about the recipe and the oranges. Yummy pumpkin-spice pancakes! Perfect for celebrating the Christmas season! Our flyer was practically front-page in the bulletin this Sunday, so hopefully we'll get a good turnout next week!

I hope you St. Timothy's pilgrims have had a chance to look over the itinerary update I e-mailed you all last week. Sounds awesome, yeah? Jean and Mark are working soooo hard to make this an interesting trip! Thanks, Jean and Mark!!

Keep seeking out those fundraising opportunities. We're getting the financial portion of our pilgrimage taken care of slowly but surely.

More importantly, keep your heart focused on Christ who is the reason for this holy season of Advent and Christmas. May God bless you and keep you always close to Him.

Peace,
