GENERAL NEWS

RETURN TO CHAPEL OF ST. MARY MAGDALENE
After four months of meeting at the old St. Mark's church building in downtown Yreka, we decided to return to the warm and welcoming Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene effective January 1.
Although it was convenient for many to meet in town, the available time slot of 4:00 PM was not. Many thanks to Tony Clyde and, especially, Dawnmarie Love, for cleaning the entire St. Mark's church building before our services on Sunday afternoons and setting up for our Christmas Eve Midnight Mass service. It is very nice to return to our small chapel and our 10:00 AM service time.

INSTALLATION OF PROPANE SPACE HEATER
Thanks again go to Tony Clyde of Yreka who assisted with the installation of the propane space heater. Although this is now our primary heat source, the woodstove will remain in place as a back-up. The chapel heats up very quickly with the new heater and eliminates the mess of wood and ashes in the back.

FINANCIAL REPORT

Our account summary is as follows:
Balance on 9-15-2011: $943.53
Deposits thru 1-1-2012: $17
Expenses thru 1-1-2012: $278.81
Balance on 1-1-2012: $681.72

Since mid-September we have purchased new communion wine, an Advent wreath for the chapel, hose and regulator for the propane space heater, stamps for newsletters and Christmas Eve invitations, and $180 to the Siskiyou Daily News for the Christmas Eve Midnight Mass service ad, which ran on 12/9, 12/16, and 12/23. Our collection during that service provided our only income for the period in the amount of $17.

Yours in the Light,
Reverend Enda-Luke. CCS
