ATTENTION PARISHIONERS OF
CHURCH OF THE ASSUMPTION
Your church is in need of volunteers to help in many
areas of service. Either through attrition or for personal
reasons, there has become a need for lectors,
Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, adult and youth
altar servers, ushers, and volunteers to help clean the
church.
Understandably a certain amount of time and
COMMITMENT are required to help in any of the above
areas; but, this is YOUR church and in order for it to run
efficiently, parishioners are needed to help.
If you are interested in serving your church by
volunteering in any of the areas specified; or, if you would
like further information, please call the rectory,
860-643-2195. Please note that all volunteers are subject
to a background check.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration of this request.

THANKSGIVING DAY PRAYER
O God, ever good and merciful, look graciously upon us as
we celebrate Thanksgiving Day.
Our nation has been richly blessed,
and we thank You for the necessities of life
that so many of us enjoy in abundance.
May we never take these gifts for granted or forget that
they come from You, the Creator and Author of Life.
We pray for those among us who suffer as a result of
material, spiritual or moral poverty.
Enkindle in us a greater charity toward our neighbor in
need, and help us as a people to build a more just
and peaceful society and world.
We pray in a special way for those who are persecuted
for their faith throughout the globe.
Thank you, Father, for all Your blessings,
In the Name of Christ Our Lord. Amen.

The second collection this week is for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD). CCHD provides
funding for groups that make lasting change and uplift the
poor in the United States. Please give as generously as
you can to help defend human dignity and build communities of solidarity.
TUESDAY EVENING BINGO
Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, there will be no Bingo
this Tuesday, November 24. We will resume again on
December 1. Plan to join us then. The Progressive Prize will
be $900.
GIFT TREE
Next week the Assumption Gift Tree will be set up. This is
an opportunity to bring some Christmas joy to our neighbors
at Touchpoint and West Side Nursing Homes as well as
local families in need. Christmas is a time of rich traditions.
Perhaps you could start a new one by having each of your
family members or group of friends take a tag and go
shopping together to get your gifts. After shopping you
could go out for ice cream or coffee and talk about the
things you are grateful for over this past year. Giving is a
gift for the receiver and the giver. Enjoy the true riches of
this Christmas season.
Donations for Christmas food baskets may be left in church
hall. Items needed include canned fruits and vegetables,
pasta and sauce, cranberry sauce, stuffing,, cereal, juice,
coffee, tea. To donate a turkey, please contact Heather
