Up And Going

On a beautiful, Sun Shiny February 9th morning, 21 Members and guests assembled in the fellowship hall for a morning of food, fun and fellowship. The hall was decorated in colors and symbols of Valentine’s Day. Each place was marked with Valentine’s candy and other goodies. Team Leader, Helen called the meeting to order. She welcomed all members and guests before the Treasurer’s Report was given. All were thanked for their contributions to We Care, Mercy Bags Project and all other projects. Devotions came from God’s Little Devotional Book for Women and Entitled “God Never asks about our ability or our Inability –just Our availability. Bible reading Was Isiah 6:8 and ended with prayer and the blessing for our meal. Lunch was a covered dish feast with delicious desserts. Our members and guests are great cooks and the food was very delicious

The program came from the book entitled “One Simple Act” Discovering The power of Generosity by Debbie MaComber. Helen read several excerpts and we discussed. The new Congregational Care Help team was discussed and all were encouraged to use this offer when needed. The program closed with these words from John Wesley… Do all the good you can, By all the Means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the Places you can, At all the Times you can, To all the people you can, As Long as you can.

The highlight of our day was a Valentine Mrs. Metze brought to Show us. It was the first Valentine that she bought for her husband, Mr. Walter. It Was very special. Still in the original Hallmark box. Approximately 8″x10″ in size with a beautiful Valentine colors screen printed white puffy brocade front. Helen Read the timeless verse inside. Oh, what a special item to share with us. Comments and questions were answered by Mrs. Miriam. She Purchased the Valentine in 1956 at the Cost of $1.00.

March meeting will be held March 14th at 11am in the Fellowship hall. The meal will be an Easter Buffet. Please bring an item to share. After lunch, we will assemble Easter Hospice Bags. See our bulletin board for details.
