Healing Service Schedule
The ancient healing service is returning to the 2nd Wednesday and 4th Wednesday of the month. The 1st Wednesday was not good for many people’s schedule. Please attend this Wednesday and receive your healing.
 
Note that the Saturday Vigil Divine Liturgy is scheduled for 4:30 PM, not 4:00, starting this week.
 
Parish Needs
A very BIG thank you to all those who volunteered at the parish work day on Saturday, November 6. Look at the project list in St. Mary’s Hall for those items that were completed. God grant to your hard-working, faithful servants many years!
 
The food pantry is asking for any non-perishables food, personal hygiene, and cleansers for our less fortunate brothers and sisters in Christ.  Thank you to our recent contributors.
 
Father Sid is requesting donors to help purchase a new communion set: chalice, diskos, star, etc. He would also like to replace the white vestments used during most Sunday Divine Liturgies.
 
Stewardship 2010 – 2011
The annual Eparchial Stewardship Appeal is in progress. To date we have collected a small amount so we have to put more emphasis on this initiative to help support Bishop John’s important programs. Please return your completed pledge card soon.

Charity Needs
Fr. Sidor is requesting to purchase a new set of white vestments and a chalice & paten. If you would like to donate them or a portion of the money to help purchase them see Father.
As the weather has turned colder the need of our brothers & sisters in Christ who are less fortunate is increasing. More people are coming to the church in search of food, gasoline cards or bus tickets (to get to work), etc. Thank you for those who’ve donated items or money to buy non-perishable foods and personal hygiene items to the food pantry. Please read Matthew 25:35 and pray about this. In addition to canned meat products (ravioli, chili, etc.), canned vegetables, pasta, pasta sauce, soup, etc. people also are in need of bath, dish & laundry soap, paper towels, toilet paper, gloves, hats, scarves, socks, gasoline cards. Consider buying scrip cards at St. Athanasius parish. You’ll be helping us too.
Fund Raising
Thank you to the volunteers who help at our various fund raising activities. The Binford market continues through the end of October and Carmel & Stadium Village markets have reached the end of their season.  So if you want to experience the remaining farmer’s market talk to John.
Sermon Homework

Fr. Sidor has started a series of sermons on Lucifer and demons. He suggests you read Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28. Next week’s sermon will be “Who is the Devil?”

Reminders
Fr. Sidor wants to remind each of us that confession is required at least once a year, at the absolute minimum. At least twice is month is recommended. We are blessed that Father is flexible to hear confessions on any day. Make an appointment today.
We’ve restocked on a large variety of scrip cards. This is an easy way to help with the church fundraising. You have to buy gasoline and groceries every week. If you eat at area restaurants, including fast food, we have a good selection. Also we have pharmacy & general merchandise cards too. We could easily be selling $1000 in scrip every week if you participate. Talk to John if you have questions.
There’s a vast selection of religious books and some icons for sale at the church too. We are to grow in our spiritual faith every day. In addition to the daily readings on the church calendar and listening to Fr. Sid’s sermons you should put the TV remote down and read a spiritual book. It will do wonders for your mind and soul. In this world of bad news and turmoil, turn to God. These books will certainly help.

Cell Phones
We leave the secular world when we enter the church building. It is a holy place for worshipping God. To maintain this sacred environment you must prevent your cell phone from distracting anyone. Turn your cell phone off. If you are expecting an urgent call then mute the ringer. Never answer the phone while in church but take it outside before answering it. Remember, when worshipping God we’re on his time – not ours – and we should be giving Him our undivided attention. Do everything in your power to prevent distracting the church community who are actively participating in common prayer to our gracious Lord.

Saturday’s Work Day
Thank you to all the volunteers who worked diligently on the parish campus on September 11. Look at the bulletin board in St. Mary’s Hall to find the items marked in green to see what was accomplished. Paul & Mary Whitener from St. Nicholas parish in Munster, IN and their friend, Jay Krager came down to Indy to help the parishioners. May God grant them many years! If you didn’t make it you missed a good pork lunch.
Also thanks to Al Z. and Richard M. who helped with the baking & wrapping on Thursday. Notice that this week we will be baking on Friday. The Carmel Market inspectors are coming that day so we’re accommodating their schedule.

2nd Collection
Bishop John Kudrick has requested that we have a collection for those who’ve been afflicted by the natural disaster in Pakistan. Thank you for those who shared their bounty last week. Please be generous this week.

Birth of the Theotokos
When we celebrate the birth of the Theotokos, the Virgin Mary, the Mother of Our Lord and God, we also celebrate her parents, Joachim and Anna. We are grateful to Mary for being so ready to do God’s will. We are grateful to her parents, who raised her to be faithful and obedient to God. Her birth, like her life and death is directed to our Lord Jesus Christ. She said, “Yes” to give birth to our Savior Jesus Christ. Will we give birth to God the Word in our hearts, minds and souls?
Are You Interested?
Fr. Sid wants to know who is willing to be an Epistle Chanter, a member of a new Benedictine Oblate Group, or would like to attend a Life in the Spirit seminar at our parish. Talk to Fr. Sid or John D.
Saturday’s Work Day
The St. Athanasius Maintenance Department invites all Knights of Columbus members and able-bodied members of the parish to the September 11 Service Day, from 8 am to 4 pm.  Service to our community is a fitting memorial to those lost in defense of our country. We are going to push for closing out a number of outdoor maintenance activities on the Church, Hall, Rectory and Garage.  Bring your old clothes, gloves, a hat, and a friend. A recent visitor to our parish from Muncie, Indiana is planning to attend. Come and work side-by-side with our gracious visitor.
