6. When you see an item that you want to bid on place a quarter in the container on the table and raise your paddle.
7. Cheer and collect your prize if the auctioneer pulls your number out of the bin.
8. Jeer at the Auctioneer if he does not pull your number

8. A Spiritual Thought:
If then Death was the supreme moment for which Christ lived, it was therefore the one thing He wished to have remembered. He did not ask that men should write down His Words into a Scripture; He did not ask that His kindness to the poor should be recorded in history; but He did ask that men remember his Death. And in order that its memory might not be any haphazard narrative on the part of men, He himself instituted the precise way it should be recalled.- Archbishop Fulton Sheen from his book: Calvary and the Mass.

9. Another Spiritual Thought
“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” ― Mother Teresa

10. Epiphany Stewardship Prayer
My parish is composed of people like me.
I help make it what it is.
It will be friendly, if I am.
It will be holy, if I am.
Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.
It will do great work, if I work.
It will be prayerful, if I pray.
It will make generous gifts to many causes if I am a generous giver.
It will bring others into its worship, if I invite and bring them.
It will be a parish of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, of compassion, charity, and mercy,
if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same things.
Therefore, with the help of God, I now dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my parish to be. AMEN
