MMMMMM!

It may be to early to put up Christmas Decorations, but it's never to early to start thinking about delicious Christmas Cookies. Barb is organizing the GTM annual cookie exchange. See the bulletin board for more information or to sign up.

Help Build a Library In Jamaica

Do your kids like to read? What if they had no books? A group of students from Alverno College is traveling to Jamaica and will help start a library. They need books! Please put your gently used, softcover books in the box in the school lobby. All types of children's books and adult novels will be appreciated. Books will be collected until November 10. Contact Jean for more information.

Let's Help!

What are you going to do with the winter clothes that no longer fit your kids? How about giving them to the St. Peter's food pantry. Besides food, they supply clothing to families in need. The students at their school have to share boots and snow pants for recess. Let's see if we can help out a little. As you sort the winter gear at your house, bring the clean, out-grown jackets, boots, and snow pants to school and put them in the box in the lobby. They will be delivered to St. Peters on November 20. The next day boxes and bags are packed for distribution. Speaking of packing boxes and bags, they could use paper and plastic grocery bags. Those can also be placed in the boxes in the lobby. And if you want to spend a few hours doing something that will make you feel good and forget about your growing bills, how about helping pack all those boxes and bags? The pantry is run by a women who often stays up all night making sure the donations are ready for distribution. Monetary donations would also be appreciated; they will be used to purchase hams and turkeys for holiday meals. Contact Barb if you have any other questions.

Looking for a Good Movie?

Try "Fireproof", by the makers of "Facing the Giants". The subject may not be as interesting to your kids as football, but the theme of Fireproofing your family, especially your marriage (the fires will come, but you will withstand them) will hit home with any couple, and it gets good reviews from a WELS pastor. Check out www.pluggedinonline.com for a full review of this movie plus many more from a Christain point of view.
