Habitat for Humanity: Many of us are looking forward to Thanksgiving in a warm, cozy house filled with fabulous food &agrances and well-clothed family and &iends. Unfortunately, many people in our area won’t have such a privilege because they live in homes that are poorly constructed; allow cold air to seep in everywhere while creating monthly heating bills above $600; have only two bedrooms for six or seven family members.
Habitat for Humanity works to help families in such homes to acquire decent, affordable housing. Volunteers do much of the work to provide these homes. This month Oxford Habitat needs volunteers who will work with Family Services selecting families and supporting them during the construction of their new home. If you enjoy working with people and want to support the work of Habitat, Family Services is the place for you. For information, please contact Mary Melvin, 513-523-8752.

KEEP UP WITH MEDICAL MISSIONARIES in the Dominican Republic, Drs. Michael and Anita Dohn. To be good stewards of their resources they will send you their newsletters online. Check out their website http://dohnfamily.org - and send them your e-mail so they can send you their news.
HOLY TRINITY PANTRY: As always, your generosity has helped enormously as we keep the pantry stocked for the community dinners. We are in special need of laundry detergent, baby products including wipes, shampoo, body wash, and diapers in sizes 2, 3, and 4, and cleaning supplies such as Pine Glo. No time to shop? Give us some cash or a check and we’ll do it for you. (Wooden boxes for contributions are in the Narthex.) Thanks, Geoff and Judith.
HOLY TRINITY RECYCLES: Containers for recycling: (I) Plastic bags; (2) batteries; (3) #1 clear plastic containers (look for the triangle with 1 on the bottom and on any detached lids); (4) fluorescent (not incandescent) bulbs are now located in the Bishop’s Foyer. Please remember that all recyclables that Rumpke takes (paper, cardboard, #1 and #2 plastic bottles, glass bottles and jars) can be placed in the kitchen & Old Rectory recycling bins.
MEDICINE BOTTLES AND ART CATALYSTS: A separate container in the Bishop’s Foyer (the largest) is for medicine bottles and craft catalysts. Mary Fahnestock-Thomas collects medicine bottles for use by clinics in needy areas as well as anything for early childhood schools in Oxford that could stimulate young minds in arts and crafts: bottle and jar lids, buttons; paper towel and toilet tissue rolls; reusable plastic containers and small bottles; fabric, ribbon and yarn scraps; spools; basically anything that can be reused creatively
