Chicks With Sticks update

Just A Note:  Even though there isn’t a meeting tonight, there is always something new going on with the Prayer Shawl Ministry. 

The Thought for the Day, March 24^th in the Upper Room:  “New stages in our spiritual journey offer new chances to learn and serve.”  The corollary to that thought is that new challenges in our physical journey bring about changes, not always by choice, in our daily roles in the way we serve.  Effective Monday, April 5^th, I have resigned as the leader of this ministry due to several health issues.  The health issues are not the type that will be cured, but are chronic, and are the type that make it difficult to meet time commitments consistently, and in the manner that I know are appropriate for this group. 

However, this does not mean I will not be part of the Prayer Shawl Ministry!  I love the Prayer Shawl Ministry, all it does, and all it means to individuals in need!  My crochet hook still works!  I will still be available to deliver Prayer Shawls and share tears with the recipients.  My printer still prints the cards that go with the Prayer Shawls.  I just need to have more flexibility.

After a meeting Monday evening, several members have stepped forward as leaders and are working out their roles in this ministry of God’s.  Ellen has volunteered to answer any questions you have. The meetings are still on Wednesday evenings, in the same room, at the same time – no changes are planned except for continued growth.  God’s abundance, love, and support will carry us forward to meet the opportunities and challenges He brings us.

Thank you for your love and support over the last year.  You’ve been willing to go through uncharted waters as we tried things that had never been done before since we didn’t have a road map to follow.  Keep the same openness…God will provide and lead!

Love and blessings,

Beverly
