Pastoral Ministry & Outreach

Jaguar Newsflash   

PARENT-TEACHER-STUDENT CONFERENCES are on Wednesday and Thursday, November 17/18, 8:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m.; and Friday, November 19, 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Please be on time for the conference! There are NO CLASSES for the children on these days. The All-School Book Fair will take place during this week.

It is said that a lot of us are only 6 paychecks away from being homeless (there, but for the grace of God, go I!). If you don't have a roof over your head, where do you wash your clothes? How long do socks last without washing? If you are homeless, unemployed or underemployed ($6 - $10 per hour), and hungry, can you afford the bear essentials, like underwear? We are now collecting men's and women's socks and underwear (t-shirts, boxer shorts, thermal underwear, and women's undergarments); containers are at all the Church doors. We can set an example for our children by including them in this project, too. Thank you!
