BUILDING FUND CAMPAIGN &
ANNUAL PARISH STEWARDSHIP APPEAL UPDATE
Next Sunday is Invitation-to-Commit Weekend. Please bring your campaign response form to Mass.
If you cannot be with us next weekend, please mail your form to the parish office or bring it to Mass
the following weekend.
You may be asking: "What should I consider giving so we can achieve our Campaign goals?"
The Invitation-to-Give letter and brochure you received in your campaign packet offer you giving options to consider. The
gifts we are asking our parishioners to consider are challenging. For many of us, our giving to this campaign will cause us
to reevaluate our priorities. We are challenged to grow in our faith and generosity. We ask everyone to prayerfully
respond to God’s abundant grace and love with your generous gifts.
Please remember…One Pledge form…with Two Pledges. You are asked to make a 3-year pledge to our Building Fund
AND make your 1-year Annual Stewardship Pledge in support of our parish ministries for 2015.
“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” -Colossians 3:17
(Check the parish website at www.lumenchristiparish.org for more information.)
DID YOU KNOW?
BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE
Lumen Christi Mequon
Did you know that our Lumen Christi Bereavement Ministry
has been providing service to grieving family members for
over 20 years? The Bereavement Ministry provides
prayerful spiritual and emotional support when it is most
needed. They are with the family from the time of the
funeral and again whenever needed for the next year.
During this season of remembrance and prayer for our
loved ones, please say a prayer in gratitude for the selfless
service of our Bereavement ministers.
During the month of November, our Parish Book for
Remembering the Dead will be located in the Church
near the Vigil Candles. As a parish, we will remember
all those whose names have been entered. We invite
you to list the names of family members, friends and
loved ones.
THANK YOU
We extend our thanks to parishioner Sharon Brown for
the beautiful scrolls displayed for the All Souls Day
liturgy at our Mequon church. We appreciate the
many hours it takes to calligraphy the names on the
scrolls.
We are looking for parishioners to help at our

CALLING ALL SNOWBIRDS!
BULLETIN POLICY
All information for the bulletin must first be approved by
appropriate staff liaison, who will then submit it to the
bulletin editor. Please plan well in advance. Thank you.
PRAYER NETWORKS
Pray Always (Luke 21:36). Pray without ceasing
(I Thessalonians 5:17). Lumen Christi Parish has two
confidential Prayer Networks, made up of parishioners who
have offered to pray for your needs. If you are in need of
prayers or would like to become involved in either Prayer
Network, please contact (1) Georgia at 242-2567 or
[email protected], or (2) Helen at 242-4657.
You can save the parish money by sharing your winter
address with us every year. Most of our parish mailings
(including the end-of-the-year contributions statement
needed for taxes) are sent bulk mail. The post office does
not forward bulk mail, so if you are away, the mailing is
returned to us with a charge for the service. It is a double
postage hit that can be avoided with one phone call or
email to the Stewardship Office. Please help us to be good
stewards of our resources. Contact Lisa Bales at 512-8994
or [email protected] with your winter address
and dates away. Thank you!
It is also helpful if you let us know when you return so that
we can change your address back, and you can continue to
receive uninterrupted mailing.

shawls as well as pocket prayer shawls are given to people
who are homebound or ill, to bring them physical and
emotional warmth. These can be made alone or with a group
and are available through the parish office. Please contact
Gina Spahn at 241-3565 or [email protected] for
details. IMPORTANT! PLEASE call or email her when
dropping off the shawls in the ushers’ room in the back of
church. She takes them to Father Dan to be blessed.
