"OKTOBERFEST 2000"

Believe it or not, it is time to start thinking about our Annual Oktoberfest!

This year's Dates: Saturday, Oktober 14^th, from 1:00 to 8:00 p.m., and Sunday, Oktober 15^th, from 1:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Grand Prize Tickets: these will be mailed the first week of September.

"Marketplace": needs NEW items, large or small, such as toys, kitchen gadgets, cameras, lamps, artwork, furniture, beauty supplies, exercise equipment, floral arrangements, knick-knacks and bric-a-brac, silk or dried flowers, lace or needlepoint items, wines and spirits, etc. The marketplace can also use gift certificates for the theatre, movies, department or specialty stores, sporting events, vacation homes, etc. We also need lots and lots of baskets of all sizes, colored cellophane and ribbon. Please contact Marie at the Parish Office: 818 - 889 - 1279 or Debbie Meier at 818 597-1464 .

Used Books: Just that: any and all used books, hard cover or soft cover. Drop them by the Parish Office.

Cake Walk & Sweet Booth: homemade or store bought cakes, pies, cookies, fudge, breads, rolls, pastries, jellies and jams, and candies. Whenever making some of your favorite desserts, why not make an extra or two and freeze it for the "Oktoberfest".

Booth Sponsors: sponsors are needed for our "Oktoberfest 2000" booths to offset the expenses of the Oktoberfest.

. Platinum Sponsor: $200.00 fully covers cost. Gold Sponsor: $100.00 covers half the cost. Silver Sponsor: $50.00 covers one-quarter of booth expense.

The name of your family and/or any business advertising will be prominently displayed on your booth. Make you checks payable to: "St. Jude's Oktoberfest". Please include your name, address, and phone number, plus the name and location of your business when submitting your donation. This is a tax-deductible donation.

Donation Drop Off: please drop off all donations in front of the Parish Pastoral Office, except spirits and wine as these items must be kept out of reach.

NB: Please do not drop off Garage Sale Items. We cannot use them at the Oktoberfest and it is costly and time consuming for us to transport them to a donation center.

Food Booths, Games Booths, and Rides (more Rides than ever before at St. Jude's --- all that we are permitted by our limited space).

Volunteers are needed: to chair and to work booths, to help make boutique items, to solicit booth sponsors, to solicit new items and gift certificates from local merchants, to sort books and other donated items, and to also put together baskets for the "Marketplace". Leave your name and phone number and best time to call you with Parish Office, and someone will definitely quickly get in touch with you.

More info: please contact Carolyn Chowanec, Chairperson 818 Father Dan or Marie at the Parish Office: 818 - 889 - 1279,

	HOW MANY CONVERTS HAVE YOU BROUGHT TO JESUS? When you suddenly before Jesus on the day of your death, what things will you point out to Him as wonderful things you have accomplished during your life? Will the things you point out to Him, be things that show Him the depth of your love for Him? What things will show Him how you loved Him above all else? How will you tell Him how you fulfilled His final command to go-out into all the world to announce His Good News, and bring others to be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit? Pray about it! What will really be important on that day? The size car you drove? The brand of your clothing? The music you listened to, or danced to? The teams you rooted for? All those things will be left behind. In fact, none of those things will matter, unless they prevented you from living the Gospel, and from spreading that Gospel to others. How real is your faith commitment? Is it a Sunday thing? Is it lived at home? In your workplace in all you do? During leisure times? Do you merely say I am a disciple of Christ, but do nothing about it? How real is your faith commitment? Being a disciple of Christ, means living it day-in, and day-out! Being a disciple and putting Christ first, means being so proud of that discipleship that you want and try to share it with others. Like all other Catholic Christian Communities throughout our country, our parish RCIA Team is now taking names and interviewing those who would like to know more about us Catholic Christians. If there is someone in your life that you would like to bring to Jesus, now is the time to invite him/her/them. Possibly there is a person who was baptized a Catholic Christian but not raised in the faith. Invite that person too! Also, this is the time to contact a Fallen Away Catholic Christian you know, and invite him/her to come home. Our Welcome Home Team is also interviewing those who have an interest in coming home. For converts to the Catholic Christian Community of Faith, please give Jenifer Carmichael a call at 805 - 497 - 2551, or Nancy McAvoy at 805 - 480 - 4031. For returning Catholic Christians, please call Deacon Joe Manion at the Parish Pastoral Office: 818 - 889 - 1279, Ext. 219.
