Our Co-Chair of our SCRIP program is relocating to DePere. We are in need of a replacement. The position involves scheduling the volunteer sellers on a quarterly basis, reconciling the sales and inventory after the last Mass on Sunday, setting up and selling SCRIP cards after some Masses, and filling orders on an occasional basis. The hours are somewhat flexible and approximately 3-4 hours per week. Please call Colleen at 739-033 if you are interested.
The Wise Shine Brightly We have been reading a lot about wisdom lately. Although today’s first reading isn’t from the book of Wisdom, it still touches on the subject. At the end of the reading from Daniel today, there is a proclamation that the wise will shine brightly and that those who lead others to justice will shine like the stars. So maybe the question that we should ask is, “Are we wise?” Do we value the things in life that are important, or do we spend our time and energy on things that are fleeting? Are we about Prayer or Packers? Are we about Discipleship Nights or Dancing with the Stars? Are we about Relationships or Racing? Now of course, there is a place in our lives for all these things. It is not about either/or, but about what we value as important. A good measure if we are making wise choices is to follow the advice that wisdom always looks towards what will last. Spending time in prayer with God, working on deepening our faith, and building good, healthy, relationships are wise choices because all of them will last, but it doesn’t happen by accident. We need to be conscious that our daily choices matter. We also need to work on being aware of what God might be calling us to do that we haven’t in the past. Let us all work on building up wisdom in our lives so that we can shine like the stars! Deacon Mike

VOLUNTEER
In follow up to last week’s session on why/how we pray for Discipleship/Alpha night, there is so much available in FORMED on this topic. From Y Disciple listen to the 4 sessions about prayer/praying: Pray Unceasingly; How to Pray; Why Pray; Practicing Prayer. There are other options about Prayer from ECHO: Part IV: Prayer or view the Lectio Series on Prayer by Dr. Tim Gray. So many opportunities available at our fingertips-start tapping your fingertips and search/type the word Pray or Prayer and there are even more opportunities to enrich your faith life with prayer.

Prayers you all have a great week.

Angel Tree St. Bernard Parish Social Justice Committee is sponsoring our annual Angel Tree Christmas in conjunction with the Salvation Army. Our Angel Tree will be in our lounge with a child’s name attached to an ornament along with their Christmas wish. The suggested gift level is from $50-$100. If you would like to pair up with a friend or family to purchase the suggested gift, that would be wonderful. Smaller donations of cash are also accepted. The cash donations will be for the purchase of needed items. Please be sure to register your name, phone number and the number(s) of the tag(s) you
have taken. The sign-up sheets are available next to the Angel Tree. This is an important step as we need to account for all the gift tags taken. Please return all gifts to our Parish Office or under the Angel Tree on or before Thursday, December 6. Last year we generously donated almost 200 gifts to children in our community.
