Announcements 27th - 28th December 2014, Feast of the Holy Family



Administration (Rosters and Special Events)
Special events roster for JANUARY has been published. All are responsible to check. Leaders are reminded to TICK the names of those on the list attached.
As the new year begins soon, all servers are to take note of their new groupings (whether they are affected by the catechism class time changes or not) and serve the right mass times and novenas.
Group 1 (of the new groupings) will be serving the novena service next Sat, 3rd Dec.
Servers who are still on holiday are to serve 2 weekday masses (1 morning and 1 evening)
Group Leaders are expected to acknowledge and record all VRs dated Dec 2014 and later near the sink immediately after mass and before they leave. Due to inaction, this has led to unnecessary and unsightly clutter there.
Servers are reminded that it is their responsibility to check the announcements even if they are not present for the weekend. The announcements can be found on Facebook or on the blog. However, if one is unable to secure an internet connection e.g. overseas on holiday, he is responsible to inform his Group Leader to keep him updated of any important updates.

Mass hopping
Servers are reminded that they are not allowed to swap masses as they please out of mere convenience. Examples of reasons that will not be accepted by Group Leaders are these.
Serving the Saturday sunset mass just because one’s group is serving the Novena service before that.
Serving another mass time just because there is no catechism class during the holidays.

Bible Sharing
There is Bible Sharing this Friday, 8:30pm. All servers sec 2 and above are to attend.
Advent/Christmas Project
The Rainbow Advent/Christmas project would remain until the end of the coming week. Servers are encouraged to do the other activities meaningfully and spiritually.

Feast of Mary, Mother of God (IMPORTANT)
1st Jan is the Feast of Mary, Mother of God and is public holiday. There will be 2 masses, 8:30am and 6:30pm.

Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord (IMPORTANT)
Next Sunday is the Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord, please bring cape and sash.

Greetings
The Servers Exco would like to wish all of you a blessed Christmas and a fruitful new year ahead!
