"HUNGER HURTS" FOOD DRIVE
Kim Mileusnic's Sunday School class has been active planning a way to help the community that has suffered from the recent flooding. The 6th, 7th, and 8th grade class would like your help. Please bring non-perishable food items to church. You will find a large collection box in the south wing entry or in their classroom in the north wing. Suggestions for donating are: pasta, rice, oatmeal, canned fruit or vegetables, peanut butter, mac & cheese, canned tuna, canned meat, or soup. The items collected will be taken to the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana, supporting families in Lake and Porter Counties. The last day to turn in food items will be Sunday, November 16th.

Written by Gorana Bilbija, Sunday School Student:
Hey
St. Sava Students let's have some fun!!! As
you all know we will be going to the County Line Orchard on October 18th from
5:00 to 8:30. It is located on 200 County Line Road in Hobart, IN. You should arrive early so that you and
your family can enjoy the various activities that they have to offer. Isn't that
awesome! If you arrive early you will be able to go apple & pumpkin picking.
They also have a country store there where you can get souvenirs. Wow!!! You
should coordinate your time so that you will be able to catch the hayride back
to the campsite. Unless, you would rather walk. So don't forget at 5:00 all
of us will join together at the fire pit for some dinner, games,
hayrides, and the corn maze. The dinner is scheduled to be at 6:00 so don't be
late. Families will have to supply drinks, side dishes, desserts, & the supplies
for s'mores. We will provide the chicken, so don't worry about that. If you
would like to go through the corn maze it will be $5 per person. But we will pay
the $5 for the children. If you would like to you can bring chairs, flashlights,
& bug spray. When
you arrive make sure you park by the corn maze off of Cleveland. And we ask you
to do 1 more thing for us. Please let Kim Mileusnic know if you are coming or
not, so that we know how many tickets and how much food we should
get. I
hope I see you all there on October 18th.

Father Tom Kazich Teaches Sunday School
Father Tom Kazich was guest teacher on Sunday, October 5th. The lesson titled "The Saints: God Is Wonderful In His Saints", was quite interesting. Saints come from all walks of life. Father Tom referred to our own Father (Bishop) Peter as a truly Holy Christian man, kind and good, and his dedication to church and it's people. Photos provided by Betsy Kirby.
