Gospel Reading Sunday, December 8th

Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? We're there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner? And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.” (Luke 17:12-19)

Sunday Weekly Cleanup: We need everyone to lend a hand with this task to help make the load lighter on the few who often clean. Many hands make light work. Those who are staying to clean are often cleaning until mid-afternoon. There are many tasks that need to be completed each Sunday.
