SALT Book Drive
If one of your resolutions for the new year is to tidy up and organize, you can help by donating new or gently-used childrens books to the First Grade SALT Book Drive. First Grade is collecting board books and preschool books for Special Care, a school that serves children with special needs. Our first graders will deliver the books during their SALT field trip later this month. There are boxes outside the First Grade classrooms for book drop off. Thank you for always being generous!

Last Days for Spirit Apparel/PTO Fundraiser
School families, tomorrow, January 11 is the final day to place orders for the new spirit apparel. You will order from the link provided below and then pay with cash or check made out to CSSE when your items are delivered to you. All the shirts are available in youth & adult sizes. The outerwear is in adult sizes only. This is a small PTO fundraiser, so with each item that you purchase, you will also be benefiting the school & teachers.

Safety and Security: Weekday Church Entry
In an effort to provide more weekday safety and security for our students, parishioners and staff, we will begin limiting entrance into our non-school buildings to the Ross Hall entrance under the bell tower. Starting Tuesday, January 1, all the outside doors to the church (North, East and South) will remain locked on weekdays. The church will still be accessible, however, by entering under the bell tower. The far northwest entrance, which is a school entrance, will continue to stay locked except for student arrival and dismissal.

PLEASE PRAYER THE FOLLOWING PRAYER EVERY DAY FOR THE PARISH MISSION AND ALL THOSE WHO WILL ATTEND.

Prayer for a Clean Heart – Parish Mission February 24-26, 2019
Please, Holy Spirit renew my mind, heart and soul. Lord, all I want is to be with You.
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

Oh God, heavenly Father! Lord Jesus Christ! Holy Spirit of the living God. Thank You for this, another chance and day You have given to me. Help me to remove all the doubts and unclean thoughts that are inside my mind, heart, and soul now. Let Your power be revealed in me and through me, oh God and create in me a clean heart.
John 14:6 Jesus answered, ” I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Please wake up this sleeping soul. Use my life, oh God, for Your glory and let my life be the proof of Your unfailing love. Oh, sweet Jesus! You never fail to amaze me. Your love remains in me.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Please, Holy Spirit renew my mind, heart, and soul. Lord, all I want is to be with You. Oh God, heavenly Father, please freely use me and my life to be a living testimony of how Your power and wonders have worked in me.

Father, bless our Parish Mission. Bring all those who need to hear it’s message of hope and promise. Create in all a clean heart and a right spirit.
May all of our efforts work to bring you Glory!
Psalm 51:10 – Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

All this I ask and pray, in Jesus name, Amen!
