Prayer Quilt / Prayer Shawl Ministry
As
many of you know, the prayer shawls over the years have been such a blessing to
those who have received them.
Kristina Aldred would like to begin making prayer quilts for those in
need of prayer and comfort.
It would be wonderful if the pieces for the quilt came from our family of Good
Shepherd.
If you have material pieces that could be used that you would like to donate,
let us know or bring them to church. Prior to sharing, we would like for you to
hold them and pray over them, that they might be used to bring comfort, peace,
and joy to the one who receives the quilt. The quilt would begin in prayer from
the homes and hearts of the family of Good Shepherd.
Let us know if you would like to make donations, or if you might be interested
in creating prayer shawls yourself !
May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us;
establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work
of our hands.
Psalm 90:17
Wednesday Nights
Resume in September
Wednesday night prayer service, fellowship, youth groups and choir practice will
resume after Labor Day, 2010.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship
of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
2 Corinthians 13:14

It is God who arms me with strength and makes
my way perfect.
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights.
He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
You give me your shield of victory; you stoop down to make me great.
2 Samuel 22:33-36
**Babies! Babies! Babies!**
But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me,
and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Luke18:16
