Welcome: Please welcome our new members. Barbara joined us for the first time on Wednesday with crochet hook and yarn in hand. She also suggested we rename our group to “Chicks With Sticks” so we obviously have a new member with lots of ideas!
Jenny and Candice are going to join us soon. They’ve been referred to us by Lynn Robinette whom is also on our member list to encourage Jenny and Candice. Jenny and Candice are looking forward to learning to crochet and knit. We’re looking forward to meeting you both. Feel free to join us before the first week of May. We teach crochet or knitting whenever a person wants to learn.
An updated member list is attached since there have been several changes recently.
Congratulations: Please wish a very happy birthday to Shirley on April 6th and to Marilyn on April 26th. Both Shirley and Marilyn are fairly new members also. We’re blessed to have you in the Prayer Shawl Ministry.
Baby Blanket: All of the squares for the baby blanket are done and sewn together. Thanks for the time and effort on the squares. The only thing left to do is to finish the edging. There will be a “congratulations” card for the Hoskyns in The Parlor in the 3rd drawer of the dresser prior to the 11:00 service this Sunday for anyone to sign who wishes to do so. It will be there until the 15th of April which is our next meeting date. At that point we can determine how best to get the baby blanket, and the fleece blankets for their sons, to them.
Shawls and Afghans: Wednesday evening we were blessed to have several shawls, afghans, and scarves to pray over before they go to the cabinet in the pastor’s office for delivery to those in need. Lisa indicated the cabinet is pretty full right now, and we have several more afghans nearing completion. This is a good time to work on scarves for the grace bags. It’s my understanding there is still a need for scarves to go in the bags.
However, it’s always a good idea to have prayer shawls and afghans made and stored. There are so many people in need now and God’s love cannot be shared enough!
Calendar Update: Since April 8th is in the middle of Spring Break, we will not meet Wednesday, the 8th. Please mark your calendar for April 15th and plan to join us in The Parlor. For those of you who haven’t been for a while, we would enjoy seeing you again.
Love and blessings,
Beverly
