March 25th Update

Our usual Wednesday evening in The Parlor includes several conversations going on at the same time, with a few stories that every one hears. March 25th was a unique Wednesday in The Parlor. It’s amazing what bits of scrap yarn can bring when shared. God works in wonderful ways.

Barbara asked during dinner in the Family Center if we had any scrap yarn that the Honduras mission group could use for name tags next year. We assured her we did and would gladly share. Barbara came in and told us wonderful, moving stories about this year’s mission trip to Honduras and the children she worked with in Bible study. Everyone was touched, amused and amazed by the stories.

As we sorted out the yarn and squares left to be made for the Hoskyn’s baby blanket, Dana and Barbara talked about the rigors, the trials, and the joys gained from the Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure which is coming up again soon. Both of them are veterans of this event. Since many of the shawls and blankets we create wind up comforting those who have cancer, it was great to hear the stories of those who work to support the research for finding a cure.
Our church is a missional church at all levels, working in our community, nationally, and internationally, supporting organizations and individuals needing help and showing God’s love face-to-face.

The baby blanket squares will be done by April 1st and can be sewn together and edged by April 8th. We can then discuss the best way to get the baby blanket and the two fleece blankets to the Hoskyns after the 8th.

Even though we’re going in to summer, this is a good time to continue work on scarves for the Grace bags. We have plenty of yarn in The Parlor for scarves, and several patterns in the dresser.

Ellen came in with her new hairdo which looked great! Congratulations. Her hair is finally long enough to show off without a wig.

Lawrenceville Co-Op is counting on us for help to keep their shelves stocked. Please remember to bring a can of food, a bag of beans, or box of grits next Wednesday.

Love and blessings,
Beverly
