Lynn’s Music Notes Happy New Year! Today is the first Sunday of
Advent and we begin the cycle A readings in the
lectionary. A song that I love to dust off every
Advent is “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.” I
appreciate how the liturgical seasons change in our Catholic
tradition. Advent, Christmas, Ordinary Time, Lent and
Easter each have music that is most fitting for the season. I
even appreciate the change of weather as we move from fall
to winter, which reminds me, it’s time to dust off and dig out
the winter coats, snow boots and gloves!
A Tweet from Pope Francis
“We entrust the life of the Church, all humanity,
and the entire cosmos to the Lord, asking him to
pour out his mercy upon us.”
“Many peoples shall come and say: ‘Come, let us go up to
the LORD’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob,
That he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in
his paths.’ For from Zion shall go forth instruction, and
the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.” ~ Isaiah 2:3

Delphos Community Christmas Project
The Delphos Community Christmas Project committee sincerely thanks each person and group who has made any
contribution in the past. Last year, 360 children living in the Delphos school district were provided with toys and clothing
and 153 fruit plates were delivered to our elderly and shut-in residents. Food baskets were also provided for 159 families.
The committee begins its work in early November. The names of those in need come in, the families are interviewed, and
their needs are established. After this, the shoppers go to work!
We deliver the gifts and fruit plates with the help of St. John and Jefferson students. Our delivery day this year will be
Tuesday, December 20th, 2016.
The names of children needing clothing and toys, persons needing food or shut-ins to be remembered with a fruit plate
should be sent to: Community Christmas Project, General Delivery, Delphos, Ohio 45833. Monetary donations may also be
sent to the same address. Thank you for helping the less fortunate in our community. Any questions or concerns may be
directed to Edna Fischer, chairwoman (419-692-8818).
