**St. Patrick, 430**

“Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.“

**SHOE BOX PROJECT**

This is the last week for monetary donations to the “Shoe Box Project.” All donations will be sent to “Operation Christmas Child (OCC)” sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse which packs and delivers the Shoe Boxes for us. Children receive gifts AND the message of salvation. This is a great outreach ministry, as the children can share the Gospel with family and friends. Envelopes are provided for your convenience.
