KOC Council Events this weekend.....

From Gary:

Brothers,

 

Our free throw contest is quickly approaching.  I have sent flyers to Marshfield, Conway, and Niangua schools.  Also, I have placed flyers on the window of the parish hall.  Bob Schultheis placed the flyer in the bulletin, too.  I sent a flyer to Russell Rouse, last week, in hopes he would pass it along to whomever puts Sacred Heart's bulletin together. As for a turnout from the public for this event, that will be anybody's guess.  I have checked the weather for Saturday and they are predicting rain (at least it is not snow or sleet)  Here is what we will need from our brother Knights:

 

There will be two tables upon entering the gym for registration. So, a total of 4 people at the registration tables ( 2 Knights or volunteers per table)

We will be shooting at two goals.  At each goal there should be at least 3 people: 1 to rebound  1 to record the shots  1 to watch the line in case someone steps over

So, this will take a minimum of 6 people total for both goals.   Also, we need someone with good penmanship to fill out certificates.

 

I have purchased basketballs for this event and trophies for the 1st place winners.  2nd and 3rd place will receive a DQ gift card.  I took this format from Paul Sullivan who is the free throw coordinator at SEAS church.  They are having their event on the same day.

 

We will need the Knights to be at Shook Elementary by 8:30 a.m.   Our free throw event runs from 9:00 a.m.--1:00 p.m.

 

If you could pass this information along to our brothers, I would appreciate it.  If you see that I have forgotten any information, please add or notify me.

 

Thank you and be safe,

 

YBiC,

 

Gary

 

fraternal benefit night

Hello,

 

I was just informed by Darrell that the upcoming fraternal benefit night on Jan 30 will not count towards our Star Council.  It is still good information if you want to attend.

 

Thanks,

Michael

The FBN that is scheduled for January 30^th will NOT count towards the requirements for the council for Founders Award. I am sorry for the confusion this has caused you and those we have told. 

I tried to get Supreme to respond to me last week prior to the DD meeting, but those I shared the email with passed on to others and just today I received a response, 

Sorry as this doesn’t look good, I would let the councils go forward with the presentation as it will be good information. They will not have a survey to take. 

You can tell those that ask that there wasn’t a survey with this presentation, 

Darrell

Prayer Request

Brothers, 

John Tieskotter reached out to me last night and told me his sister Reta and sister-in-law Karen are both in need of prayers. Reta is the sister that received a heart valve not long ago, she now had RSV and is going to need another heart surgery to work on another valve. Karen fell and hurt her leg/ hip and is having to go through physical therapy. 

I would also kindly ask that you pray for my wife Brittany as she has Covid again and has been having a bit of a hard time. 

A Prayer for Healing and Hope

Most Merciful and Powerful God,

We come to You in our weakness.

We come to You in our fear.

We come to You with trust.

For You alone are our hope.

We place before You the diseases present in our world.

We turn to You in our time of need.

Bring wisdom to doctors.

Give understanding to scientists.

Endow caregivers with compassion and generosity.

Bring healing to those who are ill.

Protect those who are most at risk.

Give comfort to those who have lost a loved one.

Welcome those who have passed into Your Eternal Home.

Stabilize our communities.

Unite us in our compassion.

Remove all fear from our hearts.

Fill us with confidence in Your care.

For the healing and wellness of Reta, Karen, Brittany, and all those afflicted with illness and injuries. 

Jesus, I trust in You.

Amen.

A veteran – whether Active Duty, Retired, National Guard, or Reserve… is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to and including my life”.

 

That is an Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it. !!

Fifth Sunday

Brother Knights,  we have a Fifth Sunday this weekend and as such we a supposed to take care of the Masses. Please help where you can as Ushers, Alter Servers, Lecturers, and Extraordinary Ministers. 

I hope you and your families all had a Merry Christmas and were able to spend some time thinking of our Lord. May each of you have a blessed and wonderful New Year. Please pray for each other, that 2024 will hold great things and lead us all to grow Holiness.

There has been a few of our members that have been sick lately please pray for thier healing and health. Annie Nehl tested positive for Covid before Christmas and Jerry was not feeling well. I asked her how they were doing a couple days ago, she said she is feeling much better but Jerry was not great yet. John Tieskotter messaged and asked for prayers as his wife Carmelita now has Covid. Please continue to pray for one another and help each other as we can.

William Arehart

Remarks from William Arehart

Brother Knights, I have several pictures of recent events and a few updates to pass along. First off next Tuesday we have our monthly meeting, If you can please bring your 30 dollars for 2024 dues. There will be no Adoration or Mass at Holy Trinity that night as there will be a Penance service at 5pm. We are in Advent, which means it is time to do some housekeeping and get ready for Jesus. If you heard Fathers homily last weekend you know we need to be ready always. 

Second, John Tieskotter, during our last fish fry, texted me and said he hurt his right knee. He went to the hospital and had fluid taken off of it that day. I spoke to him a week or so ago and he said it was getting better, still sore when he was on it for a period of time. He had been at Wal-Mart ringing the Salvation Army Bell and was sore. He also installed a set of steps and did some other work around a house this last week. Steven Morcus and Steve Ciulla helped John with this project. Pictures are attached. 

Huge thank you to Gary and Russell for getting the float ready and up to Holy Trinity for the Christmas Parade it looked great. Thank you to Chuck for using his truck to pull it in the parade and providing power for the lights. Thank you to all the Knights that made it out, it is always a lot of fun. If you didn't make it to this parade, please consider coming to the Fourth of July Parade.  

We had a great fish fry on Nov. 17th, thank you to all that helped. 

If you didn't make it to Father Francis' father's memorial Mass, you missed something that was truly awesome. Father Francis spoke beautifully about his father with some great memories that he has. We all know when Father speaks from his heart it is great and this time was no different. There was also two Bishops and around 20 Priest around the Alter at Holy Trinity, it was very inspiring.

Jerry Nehl is home and doing better as of Sunday. 

My nephew, Aaron Sand is home and doing well, I spoke with my sister today and she said he is getting along with well. Thank you everyone that prayed for Aaron and his family. 

Brothers, I want to tell all of you thank you for being who you are. I am honored to be a Knight with you gentlemen and to be able to do what we do. There are so many good things that we have been involved with this last year it is remarkable. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. below are a few pics that I have taken or have been sent to me. Hope to see all of you next Tuesday. 

Christmas Parade marshfield

Brothers,

Here are three photos I took of our K of C float in the parade. Sorry for the fuzziness; it was rather dark where I was standing and hard to get good quality pictures.

Santa Maria KOC Boat for Parade

Christmas Parade

Brother Knights, at the last meeting we decided to participate in the Christmas parade in Marshfield. The parade is this tomorrow Dec. 22 at 6pm, line up is at Washington and Pine, just down from Holy Trinity. Line up starts at 5pm, we will head to the lineup close to 5:15. Those that want to attend the 5pm Mass first, since the parade doesn't start till 6pm you should be able to walk over and join us before we get to go but it will be close. I want to thank Gary Gray and Russell for getting the ship ready and stringing the lights. Also need to thank Chuck for offering to pull the ship with his truck. I hope all of you will come out and help have a good time.
