Wanna See a Comet?

Comet Lovejoy is bright enough to see with your eyes alone. It’s a beautiful blue-green. You probably get the best view with binoculars but if you don’t have binoculars, use averted vision. That is, don’t look right at it but use your peripheral vision just off-center from where you are looking. Look high in the south before the waning moon rises. Here is a chart showing where to look on specific days in January.

Allen Martinets of Austin found this little gem on E-Bay and submitted it to the Coupland Times.

Someone from St. Peter’s Church or the Coupland Civic Organization might want to add this to their historical collection. Click on the link below to see the front and back. The message appears to be written in German.

Sharing Your Blessings With the Taylor Food Pantry

food_pantry2October was the month for St Peter to help sack/pack and carry out for the Food Pantry. They have moved us to November 29th.   The next few  months are  the  months that their shelves get empty fast!   As you go out to pick up some groceries  grab a few extra can of beans, peas or corn….  Everything is appreciated… If not you can always give a cash gift  just note it on your check so we make sure it gets to the right source.

Also they have a thrift store that funds some of the foot pantry.

We have baskets at the back of church to leave your items.

Thanks,
Carolyn Haverland
CBOE Chairman
