See, I will not forget you...
I have carved you on the palm of my hand.
Isaiah 49:15

ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, there is a "Homeless Memorial March" to remember all those who died this past year because of homelessness. If you feel so moved to join this gathering and hold up to God the life and death of these members of our human family, call Bill Jechorek for more information, (763) 574-0218.

A NOTE OF GRATITUDE: We had a family in the community call a couple of weeks ago who were living in a bare bones condition in their apartment. This need was brought to the St. Vincent de Paul meeting, and by the end of the night, there was a plan in place to deliver beds, lamps, and furniture to the family. Kevin Griffin, Mike Mezzenga, Bill Jechorek, and Jim Benning picked up furniture and delivered it to a family who is now well taken care of and so grateful. These are some of the many angels among us who did such good work and made a HUGE difference in the life of a family whose needs were so basic, yet unmet. Deep gratitude to all of you...
