God never asks about our ability or our inability - just our availability.
I heard the voice of the Lord,
saying, "Whom shall I send,
and who will go for us?"
Then said I, "Here am I; send me."
-- Isaiah 6:8

Do You Have
a Quilt or Blanket
of Your Very Own?
Some people less fortunate do not and so there are a few of us ladies at St. John's sewing blocks together and tying them and sending them off in the fall of the year.
We sure could use more help in cutting blocks and sewing them together and we will gladly tie them. There is material at church that has been donated in which to cut out blocks and this can be done in your own home. We also invite you to come and help tie.
We meet at church on the 4th Thursday of the month at 1 PM to tie the quilts. We even have coffee afterwards. If you would like to help, call me or just show up!
