DECORATING
TODAY
People comment about how beautiful St. Malachi looks at Christmas. Today, we will decorate the church starting immediately after 12:30 Mass. Be part of the creative team that makes it happen this year!
ADVENT CHARITY - THE HEIFER PROJECT
Again this Advent, the Social Action Commission invites individuals and families to support the Heifer Project, a nonprofit organization that provides hungry families with food animals, such as cows, sheep, or chicks. The animals provide nutritious food, milk or eggs; families earn income for school, health care and better housing. To learn more, visit
www.heifer.org or call: Lois Westerkamp 440-331-3705, Joyce Geib 216-521-4252. Envelopes are available at the church doors. Make checks payable to:
Malachi Benefit Account.
