News from the Pews

A recent article in the South Whidbey Record highlighted a multi church drive to bring holiday cheer to the residents of Western State Hospital.  St. Hubert parishoners were among the helping hands in this effort.  View the article from the South Whidbey Record here.

Langley, WA – On a frosty Saturday morning, intrepid potato baggers gathered at St. Hubert Church to transform bulk potatoes into 10# bags easy for families and organizations to manage. Eight bins, a total of 5 1/2 tons of potatoes from Skagit County, given by the Maplewood Farm, were bagged and then delivered to the Good Cheer Food Bank, the Island Church Soup Kitchen, the Mobile Turkey Unit, and our own St. Anthony Soup Ministry. Some 250 individual families each took home a bag of potatoes from church. This annual event, sponsored and organized by the Knights of Columbus provides the opportunity for work-made-fun and a community coming together to care for others. Many hands made the work light and many smiles and good conversation filled the morning with delight.

What a Wonderful Trunk O Treat event was shared Sunday the 29th!! Blessings to each of the volunteers. Your enthusiasm made the difference! We had a Great crowd of happy treaters! The food and drinks were delicious, pumpkins and games so fun and a bootiful fall day. Best of all were the cute costumed kids and fabulous trunks. Enjoy your bounty of candy till the spooks come out again next year!
Thank You!!
