Prayer for The first week of advent
Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now is the time of this mortal life in which your son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

****THANK YOU****
***Over $40,000 collected***
Thanks to everyone who attended the event and brought a friend. We had a great turnout of about 120 people all together. And lastly, thanks to everyone who contributed so generously.
Because of your generosity, we were able to raise far more than we ever hoped for: $42,573. This is enough to support staff salaries at our two largest clinics for an entire year. Together, these two clinics help about 8,000 people every year. Many people will experience the love and
healing work of Jesus through these clinics.
We give thanks to St. Andrew’s for their generosity and also Sal Basile and the Howling Hound Dogs for the generous giving of their
time and talent.
