Roses

Brothers,

The upcoming weekend we will need volunteers to pass out Roses for Life.  I will pass out roses on Saturday and anyone else that would like to assist is more than welcome.  We will need volunteers for Sunday morning at 8:00 and 10:30, too. Thank you Russell Rouse for taking care of Sacred Heart.  Also, January is the month the Knights serve coffee and snacks.  If you have never assisted in serving coffee and snacks, please consider helping.  Thank you and I look forward to seeing you at our meeting, Tuesday night.

YBiC,

Gary

I want to wish you and your family a blessed New Year

I want to wish you and your family a blessed New Year.  When I look back on the last 10 days, the Gray household has gone through Covid and a family member admitted to the hospital, but we know we are still very blessed in our health and love of God.  I also ask to pray for the soul of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. May almighty God bless us with his peace and strength, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen

Blessings,

Gary

Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.

Dear Brothers,

I wish for you and your family a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.   For those traveling, may our heavenly Father, whose glory fills the whole creation, and whose presence we find wherever we go: preserve those who travel; surround them with your loving care; protect them from every danger; and bring them in safety to their journey's end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Luke 2:10-14

10 The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.

11 For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.

12And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”

13And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying:

14^* “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

YBiC,

Gary

Help Wanted/work Completted

Steve Morcus and myself are going to Brenda Sitze at 0900 on Saturday December 3, 2022 to reposition her pallets at the back door of her trailer at 199 Pleasant Prairie Road, Lot 64 Marshfield, Mo. It should only take us about an hour to move them and add taller 4" X 4"s under the one closest to trailer.

Christmas Parade in Conway

Again, good evening,

In talking with Russell Rouse about the upcoming Christmas Parade in Conway, there are a few things he needs assistance with.  

1.  This Saturday, December 3, he needs 2-3 brothers to help move the KofC ship out of the barn and clean it up.  No more than an hour, maybe 1 1/2 tops to clean it.  Russell said he will start at 12:00 p.m.    

 2.  Howard is unable to pull the boat, so we are looking for another vehicle to pull the float.   If you have a vehicle that is capable of pulling the ship, please call, text or email me or Russell Rouse (Russell's phone number is 417-761-2878.  My number is 417-880-7444)  

3.  On the day of the parade, Saturday, December 10, we will meet at Sacred Heart Church in Conway at 9:00 a.m.  This will give us time to hoist the sails, set the rigging and decorate the ship.  Just like the 4th of July parade, we will be handing out Tootsie Rolls to the crowd.  (You can walk the parade or stand in the ship)

Brothers, once the parade begins, it usually lasts no more than 45 minutes.  After we have completed the route,  we will sail back to the church  where we will  prepare the ship to travel back to Russell's barn.  I look forward to sharing this day with you and the people of Conway.

Advent Prayer

God of Love,
Your son, Jesus, is your greatest gift to us.
He is a sign of your love.
Help us walk in that love during the weeks of Advent,
As we wait and prepare for his coming.
We pray in the name of Jesus, our Savior.

YBiC,

Gary

Men's conference

Brothers,

In case you have not received this email, I am sending the schedule for the Men's Conference that will take place at Springfield Catholic High School.  This is the same place we heard Harrison Butker, the kicker for the KC Chiefs, speak.  This will be on theGK's December agenda.

Gary
