A Time for Prayer
&
A Time to Step Up

Please keep Our Worthy Grand Knight John Burkett in your prayers as he has a serious case of shingles and some other health issues. While he is taking care of himself, it is important that we as Brother Knights of "Our Council" continue to do the best we can. A number of Our Council's leaders are stepping up to take on some of the responsibilities of Our Worthy Grand Knight as he recovers and also ask that each Brother Knight assist whenever possible.

 

Since the majority of Our Council's Brother Knights do not attend either of our two monthly meetings, the Weekly Newsletter/Email appears to be our best means of communication. I would like to extend a big "THANK YOU" to all the Brother Knights that have stepped up to assist with the many projects we have done recently and over the past years. Those of you who have not taken the opportunity to assist for one reason or another, please consider doing so in the future. We are always in need of assistance, it relieves the stress of the event organizers, and it allows you and your Brother Knights time to get to know each other a little better.

 

Please take a look at the number of upcoming events over the next couple of months and volunteer to assist whenever possible. Other opportunities will also be available throughout next year. Thank you in advance for your assistance and support of the charities Your Council supports.

 

Fraternally yours,

 

SK Marty Gibula, PGK 

 

Turkey Orders, Cook & Pick-up
Order forms for both "Smoked" and "Fried" turkeys as well as "Smoked" turkey breasts will be in the church bulletin. Please place your orders no later than this Sunday, 11/18.
Help will be needed all day Wednesday, 11/21, as we fry and smoke the turkeys, as well as pack them for pick-up between 4-6pm. We will also be cleaning and organizing the shed during the day, so any amount of time that can be spent with your Brother Knights will be appreciated. Please contact Greg Nemec at 713-416-2983 if you can assist or have any questions.

The annual Miracle on Morton Street will take place on Saturday, December 1st. Our menu is planned, but we will need help throughout the day, from 7:30am - 8:00pm, with setup and take down of our area, as well as the cooking and serving. Please make an effort to come out for an hour or two to assist Our Brother Knights that organized this activity and raise funds for the charities we support. Reply to this email if you can help during any part of the day.

BBQ Cook & Sales

Collection for Military Projects

Yes, it is going to be a very busy weekend. Besides Miracle on Morton Street, our monthly BBQ Cook & Sales and the Collection for Our Military Projects will require help from as many Knights as possible. The "A Team" is up to do the BBQ this month, but we all need to help wherever and whenever we can.

 

If you can help with the BBQ, please contact Brother Greg Nemec at 713-416-2983 and contact Brother Michael Spiech at 713-315-1311 for the Military Project.

KC Insurance

Are you and your family protected in case the unexpected happens? When did you last review your life insurance policies? Has your life changed since you last reviewed your life insurance policies? What payment options do you have that you may not be aware of? Do you have a Term, Permanent Whole Life or Universal Life policy? Your answers to these few questions regarding life insurance policies can have an effect on you and your family.

 

As a Brother Knight and Your KC Insurance Field Agent, I will do a free review with you of your policies, whether they are KC policies or from another insurer. Please give me a call if you would like a free review or have a need for life insurance, long term care insurance, disability insurance or an annuity for your retirement. Take advantage of this benefit of being a member of the Knights of Columbus.
