Guild Calendar of Events
CHRISTMAS BAKE SALE: DEC. 7 & 8
We have details ready to roll out!
We seek dozens of parishioners to bake treats for our Christmas Bake Sale, which serves as our major annual fundraiser to support parish and community ministries. You can deliver the treats to Sacred Heart starting Saturday morning, Dec. 7. Please, no cupcakes, since they are hard to wrap up on the platters.
You can pre-order decorated plates for $13 and/or gorgeous platters for $25. Think Christmas gifts for clients, customers, teachers and others! You may find the pre-order form in the gathering space, on the Sacred Heart website or by contacting Barb Baker at:
barb.baker@sacredheartwdm.org.
We will plan to do a free sugar cookie decorating station for kids on Sunday, as well. We also need Women’s Guild volunteers to help prepare the platters, set up the bake sale tables and work shifts after Masses on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 7 and 8. Here is the link for signing up to help with the bake sale: https://signup.com/go/hcZRMYm
JESSE TREE: SERVING SHUT-INS AND SENIORS AT CHRISTMAS
The Jesse Tree is now filled with ornaments in our parish gathering space. Please take an ornament from the tree and purchase the item listed on the back for a parishioner or community member who might not otherwise receive anything for Christmas. Most items listed are for basics such as socks, sweaters or a blanket. Bring the wrapped gift back to church by December 15 with the ornament securely taped to it. Questions? Please contact Women’s Guild President Stephanie Latting at stlatting@aol.com.
WARMING UP WINTER FOR THOSE IN NEED
Warm thanks to all the parishioners who so generously supported the Women’s Guild in its annual winter collection of mittens, gloves, scarves and hats. The Guild sorted dozens of items, including many hand-knit accessories, that will be distributed by West Des Moines Human Services, Sacred Heart’s Hispanic Ministry and our school as well as the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
