Ecumenical Food Bank News
With Thanksgiving quickly approaching it's not
too early to begin planning. This year the Food
Bank has asked St. Hedwig's Church to
provide 300 cans or packets of turkey gravy,
no jars please, for the Thanksgiving
baskets given to those that qualify. There will
be a box in the vestibule of the church to place
the gravy in. Also, the following items are in
short supply at this time: canned fruit, tuna,
canned meat, and oatmeal. And, as always,
any and all items are needed and
accepted. Thank you for your continued
generosity. God Bless.
A Family Perspective
Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time:
In today’s gospel the Pharisee was talking about
commandments (Something we are forced to obey
by external pressure) and Jesus was talking about
love (an internal exhortation to give our heart, soul
and mind to another.) One demands allegiance, the
other requires commitment. In our families we
daily lay down our lives for each other not because
we gotta’ but because love compels us.
