By The Rev. Jeremy M. Warnick
The economy has received a good deal of media attention lately. In religious congregations across the nation, the last months of a calendar year are often the time spent engaging in stewardship campaigns in order to receive financial commitments from their members. These pledges are necessary to help governing boards create budgets for the next calendar year. As we near December, it will also be the time for nonprofit groups to begin their holiday season campaign to solicit support for their work. It is a "green time."

Bylas community food drive begins
By Mindy Weisser-Lee
SAFFORD - Thanksgiving will be here in no time, so it's time to get organized for the yearly effort of All Saints, Safford and the Native Ministry Program Group to help some of our neighbors in the San Carlos Apache community of Bylas. For those of us who have helped in the past, I can say that this has been one of the most fun and rewarding projects in which I have ever participated, and I believe others feel the same. I hope that you will consider helping in whatever way you can. We would like to match last year's number of families served (40 each holiday), which means we will need plenty of drivers with large vehicles. There will be someone to escort you to the assigned families once you arrive in Bylas.
