PSM Update

Good day after Thanksgiving to all of you!  I am so grateful to have you as a member of this ministry.  I thank God each day for the success of this ministry and for His blessing upon its future. 

I hope you have all relaxed and enjoyed friends, family, food, and fun times. That is what this weekend is about for us! I have been going through shawl patterns and making progress on getting items collected for our scrapbook.  We also have to update our web page so if you have any suggestions, please let me know.  I want to take a more recent group photo to put on the web site.  Can you be at the meeting this Wednesday eve?  I will try for that and if it is not to be, we will reschedule for next week.

This Sunday is Communion Sunday where we put our shawls out for blessing and for use by all.  We are taking a bit of a risk by putting everything we have out for the 3 services, but God has always been faithful to provide for us, and so we trust Him in this decision.  If you find yourself free before or after any service, please lend Beverly and Mary Anne a hand as they place all items out and talk to the recipients.  We want to get their names to pray over if possible, but again we trust that God knows them all.  I will be with the children in the Studio teaching them the meaning of our ministry.  I hope to convey the purpose of our ministry as well as the need to pray for and with others.  It is a job that will bring in many blessings and will be well worth the effort.  Anyone free to come help out?  Those kids are fabulous!

As the donations for yarn start this week, I pray that you will be filled with baskets of great color and promise.  If you need delivery of yarn for at home work, please don’t hesitate to ask and you will receive it.  We love our at home members and their spirit of dedication.  Thanks to those members who have been purchasing their own yarn during this time when the pickings were getting slimmer.  We are going to be so ready for the new year!  Speaking of that, we will meet on Dec 1, 8, and 15.  We will then be off for the rest of the year.  We will resume our time together in January with the first Wednesday being January 5^th.  In the interim, if you have shawls that are completed, please send me an email or call me as we will probably need them during that time.  We will call a small group together as needed to pray over these items.  Thanks in advance for all the work that you do and will do for the ministry!

I will make a point of sharing the many thank you notes with you next session.  Some are so very touching.  I have become aware of the need to keep some of these private, so I will not share them by email.  Just know that you are well appreciated by so many people. 

May God bless you during this holiday season leading up to Christmas.  Keep Christ first in all you do, and in all the decisions you make this season.  Remember those less fortunate and give glory to God for all He has done.  I love you all so very much.

In Christ,

Dana
