PSM update - 1-19-11

Well, it is another great day in the life of the Prayer Shawl Ministry.  We had a lovely meeting last night and lots of fun going through yarn bins.  We have sorted the yarns by color group or texture.  If you love Homespun, we have lots of it now, and we have many different shades of red heart yarn.  Like fuzzy yarns, we have some!  Come and join us next Wednesday and pick out something for you to work on at church or at home. 

I wanted to mention that we have been blessed to have an angel among us.  Helon has a friend, Mildred, an 86 year old woman who makes children’s sweaters.  She buys all her own yarn, designs and knits these amazing sweaters.  Each year the proceeds of the sale go to a charity and this year we were designated as the one!  We would love to thank her with two things.  First, we have a card which you can sign.  If you did not get a chance this week, we will hold it until next Wednesday. Also, we would love to have everyone chip in just a few dollars to help send her a Michael’s gift card.  What she does is so generous and gracious that we truly would love to give back a portion.  Would you please consider chipping in some funds?  This does not have to be big, just a thank you gift.  You may get the funds to me anytime, or at the meeting next Wednesday (last day for collection please) or give me a reply and we will make connections.  If you see Helon you may get the funds to her as well.  A big thanks to Helon for making this all possible.  You are truly a blessing to us.

I am attaching a few patterns for you to look over.  I have another meeting tonight at 7pm so I will send out the full prayer list later on.  Until then, stay warm, keep knitting or crocheting and be blessed.
