COME & GET THEM!
Workers are pulling roof tiles off this week and next week only. Notice the two mini roofs in the foreground, with one panel stripped! Please check out the pile every day, A donation for the Mayo, Yukon parish of St. Mary (not us) with St. Mark will be gratefully accepted at the church office Wednesdays and Thursdays 10-4pm. Their Church is almost 100 years old and serves the peoples in the community of Mayo on the traditional lands of the Nacho Nyak Dun First Nation. Thank you for recycling and repurposing the tiles.
Val spotted our NEW addition to St. Mary’s by the cedar shingles pile back by the wood shed, assisting from afar Don and the roof workers.

And some more chuckles from Mary S:
Angels talk all the way while they're flying you up to heaven. The main subject is where you went wrong before you got dead. - Daniel, age 9
When an angel gets mad, he takes a deep breath and counts to ten. And when he lets out his breath again, somewhere there's a tornado. - Reagan, age 10
Angels have a lot to do and they keep very busy. If you lose a tooth, an angel comes in through your window and leaves money under your pillow. Then when it gets cold, angels go south for the winter. - Sara, age 6
Angels live in cloud houses made by God and his Son, who's a very good carpenter. - Jared, age 8
All angels are girls because they gotta wear dresses and boys didn't go for it. - Antonio, age 9
My angel is my grandma who died last year. She got a big head start on helping me while she was still down here on earth. - Ashley, age 9
Some of the angels are in charge of helping heal sick animals and pets. And if they don't make the animals get better, they help the child get over it. - Vicki , age 8
What I don't get about angels is why, when someone is in love, they shoot arrows at them. - Sarah , age 7
