 It was a snowy and windy miserable night but ended up with a good evening…by the time we were ready to tye knots and pray for the quilts we ended up with 8 ladies and 3 girls around the table. 

 We prayed and did quilts for 

1542.Eric & Ann Hall. Eric is Trevor’s 55 yr. old uncle who had a stroke

1543.Heather Eckert..Stephanie’s co-worker, whose young husband died suddenly leaving Heather with 3 young children

1544.Shalace Martin having some difficult medical issues after giving birth

1545.Dave Cecil, Amy’s Dad, who needs much encouragement, having to care for his wife

1546.Linda Liscano, Ben’s Mom, recovering from back surgery.

It takes many hands to continue our mission with the quilts……the many that sew at home, those who help get the tops ready with  batting and backing…..for the much ironing…..for the continuous pinning…..for the many treats.

Thank you each one of you……you are all important.

Dec. 6th we will have our Christmas brunch at 11:00.  Bring some goodies for our brunch table but if you don’t have anything be sure to come anyway.  Please bring items to give to Domestic Violence.  Girls, you need to join us too.

We will have some quilts to give to Domestic Violence too.

Choose Joy this Thanksgiving.  God is so good.

Love, Joyce

Every time the sun comes up, we get another chance 

to do wrong, do right, do better.   

What we do with the chances we have is up to us.
