Good morning ladies after a busy quilt night.

It takes a good team to keep our ministry going.  Thank you so much ladies.   Our quilts have brought smiles to many faces.  God has blessed each one of us.  We have now given away 1500 quilts….that is over 6000 yards of fabric….with the help of many generous people we keep going.  Last night we enjoyed good food and a great time of tying and praying.

1491.Holly and Angie brought a quilt to Crystal Springs Baptist Camp to Brittney and Andy who lost their unborn baby.   

Last night we did quilts for 

1492.Ben B. who graduated from high School…. 

1493.Patty, Mary’s sister who is living with medical problems from a stroke….

1494.Thresea Wright as a thank you for many years as church recorder……

1498.Steve W. who had shoulder surgery…..

And #1500: Captain Trevor Schubert! 

I found the letter from the Prayer Quilt Ministry and we started our ministry in August 2008……………….so may we continue on as long as possible……God still has plans for us.

Lily sorry you had a flat tire while we were having fun.

May each one of you know that you are special and each one of you is a special part of this ministry. 

God bless each one of you.  Remember each day to CHOOSE JOY!  

Love, Joyce

Greatness isn’t measured by what you have 

but by what you give.

Good morning ladies.

We had a great scrambled up night…but we got much done.

We enjoyed treats made by Joanna….thanks so much. 

We are not going to meet again until July 8th.  We just need to give 9 more quilts and we will reach 1500 so on July 8th we hope to have 9 names.  We are just going to pray for these people.  We are not going to do other work……this will be sort of a celebration of reaching a new goal…bring an Hors d’oeuvre  (treat) to share.  We will enjoy our time of prayer and fellowship together. 

 These special times of working and fellowshipping together is so special. Pray for each other. 

  

CHOOSE JOY. 

Love, Joyce
