Today's Gospel

Luke 3:1-6
Luke describes the work John the Baptist carried out to help people prepare for the birth of Jesus. Luke also discusses who was in power at the time, which helped historians to figure out the exact dates of certain events, including Jesus' birth.

While the radio starts playing Christmas songs the day after Thanksgiving, one way to observe the season of Advent is to wait to go all out on Christmas songs until Christmas Eve and the 12 days of Christmas. Instead, during Advent, you can sing or listen to traditional Advent Carols and modern Advent songs. These include songs such as:

"Maria Walks Amid the Thorn"

POTS CHRISTMAS SIGN UP

Dear Parishioners,

Thank you so much for your continued support of the POTS Thanksgiving and Christmas luncheons. With such a short window between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, we need your help more urgently than ever!

The POTS Christmas Luncheon will be occurring on Christmas Day at Our Lady of Refuge Church in the Bronx! With COVID and the new Omicron variant rearing its ugly head, both volunteers and guests will need to show proof of vaccination. ALL Volunteers will need to show proof of vaccination at the door. Children under the age of 12 who are NOT FULLY vaccinated cannot volunteer!

Since we will be serving far more guests hotboxed meals instead of sit-down meals this year we will encourage our turkey donors (if they feel comfortable) to slice their turkeys at home and bring the meat for drop off at the front of Resurrection on Christmas Eve morning between the hours of 8 am and 12 pm. If you don’t feel comfortable carving your turkey, NO WORRIES! Please drop it off tightly wrapped in aluminum foil and place it in a leak-proof bag.

We are happy to announce that the new owner of Crisfield’s Prime Meats in Rye has offered to roast extremely large turkey breasts (over 20 lbs.) for those parishioners who would like to donate a turkey but simply do not have the time or refrigerator space to do so. They are presently taking orders and can be reached at: (914) 967-0152. If you call and they have reached capacity, please feel free to call Jerry’s Post Rd. Market (914) 967-7033.

See the Signup link for volunteers and donations below. Or, should you have questions, please feel free to use the contact form below to contact Maureen Gomez.

Thank you so much for your support and anticipated generosity!

Sincerely,
The POTS Leadership Committee

The POTS Leadership team would like to thank everyone who contributed to the Thanksgiving Luncheon this year. Although the pandemic altered how we provided the meals to our guests, with more emphasis on the distribution of hotboxed meals, and less on feeding guests a sit-down meal, we were still able to serve over 750 meals to over 500 guests! No small feat!

Thank you so much for your support and ask for your anticipated generosity for the Christmas Luncheon!

Gratefully Yours,

The POTS Leadership Committee
