The Weekly Yarn - February 10th

A group of cold weather friends braved the winds on the 10^th and made it to the meeting last Wednesday.  It was a noisy, intimate meeting with lots of talking, laughter, and shared stories.  We had to keep talking, knitting, and crocheting to keep warm!  Such an abundance of Prayer Shawls, afghans, scarves, and Prayer Cloths were turned in…so many that each of us had more than one item to hold while we prayed.  God is good as always.  The Prayer Shawl cabinet is nicely full now!  Thanks be to God.

February 17^th:  There will not be a meeting on February 17^th to allow our members to attend the Ash Wednesday Service at 7:00 PM in the Sanctuary.

February 24^th:  We will meet at our regular time and place on the 24^th.  Reverend Sheri Smith is also holding a Prayer and Healing Service in the Upper Room at 6:30.  Anyone interested in attending both is welcome to step out of our meeting and come back. 

February 28^th:  Communion Sunday is February 28^th.  Our Father blesses us with the opportunity to put Prayer Shawls on the alter rail for our church family to pray over, and to take if they need.  Some individuals won’t come forward at other times to ask for help, so this is a wonderful way to allow them to be wrapped in God’s love.

Please mark your calendar to help arrange the Prayer Shawls, Lap Robes, and Prayer Blankets for the 9:30 and 11:00 services.

 

Bible Verse Selection:  Based on your votes (by one vote), the verse that will be etched on the crystal bowl in the Upper Room that holds the Prayer Cloths is:

John 14:27 (New International Version)

²⁷Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Love and blessings,

Beverly
