The Weekly Yarn - August 18th

Meeting Notes:  The entire evening was a blessing from God!

· God blessed us with an abundance of new Prayer Shawls and Prayer Cloths to pray over. 

· God blessed us with 110 Prayer Cloths this week, so we’re now up to 1197.  Keep up the great work.  We need 303 more to reach our goal by October 3^rd, World Communion Sunday.

· God blessed us with a new member.  We welcome Nancy to the Prayer Shawl Ministry. 

· God blessed us with the return of members we hadn’t seen for awhile.

· God blessed us with the opportunity to pray for many individuals who received prayer shawls in the last week.

· God blessed us with the ability to take four more Prayer Shawls for delivery this week.

We serve an amazing, awesome, huge God! He blesses us with the Prayer Shawl Ministry by letting us be His hands and feet for this wonderful Ministry.  Join us as soon as you can.

Special August 25^th Meeting:  Please plan to be there! Watch for the announcement in the epistle this Friday.  The next meeting will include a social “just for fun”.  The announcement in the epistle will say something like this:

JOIN US

MEET THE CHICKS WITH STICKS THIS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25^TH

Light refreshments will be served!

5:30 to 7:30 pm / Rooms 308 & 309

Learn about the Prayer Shawl Ministry.  See some of the prayer shawls, chemo caps, prayer cloths, and other items.

We’ll teach you to knit or crochet, tell you about upcoming projects, and share stories, laughter, and love!

Helon and Jane have agreed to make a light cookie dessert and a punch or tea.  Anyone else who is interested in bringing a dozen cookies or a punch type of drink or lemonade or tea, please contact me.  Paper plates, napkins, and paper cups are needed also.  I don’t anticipate needing more than 50 of the paper goods at the maximum.  This is supposed to be very casual – just a chance for potential new members to come in to see what we do, ask questions, meet us without feeling like they are walking in and making a commitment.  I hope we get some takers – the worst that happens is we enjoy a few cookies and social time!

September 5^th­ – Communion Sunday:  Please mark your calendar to help arrange the Prayer Shawls and Prayer Cloths at 7:45 for the 8:00 service, 9:15 for the 9:30 service, at 10:45 for the 11:00 service, and fold and put away the shawls at 12:15 on September 5^th.  As you know, the Prayer Shawls and Prayer Cloths have been greatly appreciated on Communion Sundays and disappear quickly.  Please let me know which service you will be available to assist with the items.  Thanks.

The Knots Prayer:

Love and blessings,

Beverly
