Gift Baskets/Raffle Prizes Needed for

Good Thyme for Life

March and Good Thyme for Life will be here before you know it! We are starting now to collect baskets and other prizes for our raffle as part of GTFL. If you have items to donate, but don’t have a basket or have a basket – but not good at wrapping it! Fear not – we have extra baskets and some experts at wrapping the baskets! Or if you have places that you shop, you can ask for gift certificates or other donations, (or Christmas gifts to “re-gift”) and we can combine these with other baskets/donations.

So, start bringing these in any time to mass January or February. Questions? Ask any board member.

🌟 Prayer for 2026

Heavenly Father,

As I step into this new year, I thank You for the gift of life, the lessons of the past, and the promise of what lies ahead.

Fill my heart with peace that surpasses understanding and guide my steps in wisdom and love.

May 2026 be a year of growth, healing, and purpose.

Bless my family, friends, and all those I encounter with health, joy, and provision.

Help me to walk in kindness, speak with grace, and live with courage.

When challenges arise, remind me that I am never alone, for You are my strength and my refuge.

I dedicate this year to You, trusting that Your plans for me are good and full of hope.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
