Hey guys

Hope everyone is having a great new year so far. We kicked off 2013 with our first workshop on January 10th we have 110 bags sewn as well as toiletries for about 150, what a great fellowship that day. We will be meeting again this Thursday January 24 at the Byron depot where we will be filling the bags in the morning and will be leaving for deliveries at lunch time. I normally deliver all bags to the hospital but due to surgery I am on lifting restriction so in December we made a big delivery where as the girls went along it was so full filling to the ladies that we will doing it monthly. As you all know we meet the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month so we will be doing the normal workshop on the 2nd Thursday and then on the 4th Thursday we will work in the morning and have lunch then off to deliver. It gives the girls the whole picture from start to finish. They get to experience the folks that benefit from their loving work. I hope to see you all this Thursday.

a recently delivery touched close to home.

2012-07-22T05:10:00.001-07:00

Recently my cousin passed away. When I called his wife to send my condolences, I mentioned that folks really liked and respected Ray at the Medical Center, she asked if I worked there I explained no that I just do the ICU ministry and deliver bags there. Her voice begin to crack and she explained she didnt realize that was me and that she and her daughter had received a bag. She went on to say that it was cold in there and the blanket was a great find, her daughter discovered the bible and they sat in that room reading bible verse.
GOG IS GOOD. RIP Ray Graham

Learn about a great ministry for the kids

2012-02-21T06:28:00.000-08:00

Hey guys

Wanted to share the details of this great ministry Its called "BASKETS OF JOY"
my friend Katie Jones from Crawford County was raised in an orphanage and never received a Easter basket during her child hood so over 16 years ago her and family along with close friends started making Easter baskets and delivering them to all the surrounding orphanages and children homes. They deliver them early so Easter morning the children will have them like ever other child does. I think this is a wonderful thing to do I believe this will be her 17th year of doing this precious gift. Your help is needed if the lord puts this on your heart to help. Keep in mind this is a small ministry that pays for most of this out of their own pockets.

Here's so ways to help

...Make donations

...volunteer they will get together on March 24 to assemble the baskets . ....if your out shopping and wanna pick up something for the baskets

... if you sew crochet or knit The ICU girls are working on baby blankets about crib size

this is our 3rd year to help the number of babies has increased over the years my goal is 50 blankets
so think about this and let me know if your interested in helping I can get you in contact with Katie
Thanks for your time
