My dear friends -


This week has been a week! We've seen God working in Betty's life and recovery.

Bible study with the ladies was great as we finished with Queen Esther and were talking about songs.

This song came up and so Cat Stevens is bringing our special music. It was written in the 1850's by Eleanor Farjeon and when Cat was looking for a spiritual awakening in the 1970's he found it.

I look forward to worshiping with you.

Pastor Donna ❤️

Sharing a couple of Barn Quilts this morning..........

 

This awesome one was made by Jan Zach....


************************************************************


and this awesome one was made by Marcia Little...

 




I'd say they both did a crazy good job!  Thank you both for sharing!

I didn't make a barn quilt but was feeling creative one day (which anymore is few and far between) and made another bookmark. ~Mindy


We love to see what you've been up to, so if you've been busy, creative or have anything you'd like to share....we'd love it if you shared it with us!

Old churches must not simply stand as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing their offspring to form new congregations. ~ unknown

I love pictures!  Pictures have a way of placing you back in "remembered moments."  Sights, smells, sounds, nature, animals, all the feels.  Pictures allow us to recall life and all that it entails.

Thought it would be fun to close each week with little "snippets" of life that will perhaps spark a memory or at the very least bring a smile.

*I do not own the pictures. 

 


 Is everyone preparing to make your pies for next Sunday?

 

 

Have a great week!
