Thought for the Week
"A woman has a dream that she wanders into a shop at the mall and finds
Jesus behind a counter. Jesus says, 'You can have anything your heart
desires.' Astounded, but pleased, she asks for peace, joy, happiness,
wisdom, and freedom from fear. Then she adds, 'Not just for me, but for the
whole earth.' Jesus smiles and says, 'I think you misunderstand me.
We don't sell fruits, only seeds.'"
Bruce McNichol and Bill Thrall,
The Ascent of a Leader
Jossey Bass, 1999

Attention All Quilters:
The Mission Committee is looking for people who quilt. We would like to
put together a baby quilt for Sarah Rose who continues with her surgeries and
chemotherapy for eye cancer. We are looking to do a 12 block quilt.
Each person would make their own block and then someone would piece them all
together to make the final quilt. Each block would also be signed by the
person who quilted it. If you are a quilter or are interested in doing a
quilt block for Sarah Rose, Please see Jackie Angleberger or call her at
717-624-8388. A volunteer is also needed to put all the pieces together. |

be able to add that record to your giving statement. Please be sure to put your
