April 15th Update

The “Chicks with Sticks” were clicking along last night. We started by labeling the completed afghans and shawls while we shared stories and ideas. What a great fellowship this ministry brings as we encourage each other in our faith. God is good to us!

Blessings: We have been given talents by God which bring us joy, peace, and blessings to return to God to use for His purposes. With His blessings and His spirit on each item we make, they become physical expressions of His love, strength, and comfort for the recipients. Reverend Sheri joined us last night as we prayed over the baby blanket and the completed shawls and afghans. Thank you, Sheri, for visiting us and adding your prayers to ours – please come again soon. The gifts are in gift bags, the card is signed, and Dana is taking them to Allen today.

Calendar: Mark your calendar for April 29th. Ellen is going to take about 30 minutes to teach us how to make “Cheery Chemo Caps”. The pattern for knitted and crocheted caps is attached. Please let me know if you have a problem printing these patterns so I can e-mail them in the body of an e-mail or copies will be available for you on the 29th.

The Parlor: We have The Parlor reserved from 5:00PM to 8:00 PM every Wednesday evening. Now that it is light later, please feel free to stay later and arrive earlier. The Wednesday evening dinners are over until August, but that doesn’t mean we have to wait until 6:00 or 6:30 to arrive. Several of us were there before 5:30 and had that much more time to talk and use our “sticks”.

Thanks again for all you do in the Prayer Shawl Ministry and for all of the love you put into the items you create.

Love and blessings,

Beverly
