Thank you to Andie S. for hosting our annual Christmas picnic on December 17. Your home was so pretty with all the decorations and Christmas lights. We all got into the spirit of Christmas. The Chinese auction with the ornaments was a heck of a good time. We had a frosty night but warm fellowship. We took a picture of Andie’s large single-stitch afghan, which is her first contribution to the prayer shawl inventory. Someone will be very grateful to receive it.

Monday, January 13 — Ginger L., host

Monday, January 27 — Ele B., host

Monday, February 10 — Kim B., host

Monday, February 24 — Andie S., host

About $380.00 was made from the November 24 bake sale we sponsored for the High School Youth trip. Corinne M. and Rick T. sent the following note:  “Ladies, thank you so much for your time and organization in hosting a bake sale fundraiser for the senior youth. The baked goods looked so decorative and tasted great. Thanks again.  Peace, Corinne & Rick

There was a great turnout for the last mid-day Stitching Circle on December 19 (Deb H., Maureen H., Ele B., Edna A. and Emily S.) And since we met on that day, Maureen completed a multi-colored baby blanket with a shell stitch border to compensate the one we gave to her granddaughter, Ashlynn, following brain surgery. We are so grateful that things are looking up for this little one. The mid-day stitching circle will be on vacation until mid-March.

Happy Stitching to all in the New Year and blessings to all.

Your sister in faith, Edna
