What¹s Happening This Week In New Life!
12/11/06

Quote of the Week:
³And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling
and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without
tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled
’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t
before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if
Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.² ~Dr. Seuss.

Connections: Same Time (7:30 PM) in same place – the Garden Room in the
