We had a great day making diapers for Haiti this morning at St. John’s! The diapers will be packed up and shipped to the hospital Linzi works for in Haiti. 236 diapers are ready to go! I want to thank Jan, Sheryl’s sister for all her help! Along with 10 others we got lots done. We are going to add boys shorts to our inventory so don’t get rid of you t-shirts that aren’t 100% cotton. The stretchy shirts make the cutest shorts!!! Again thanks so much for all your help and support!! Joy Abuhl

Good morning! Just a reminder that we are sewing diapers this Wednesday the 17 th. The diapers we made and 50 more from our Carson friends plus 3 dozen onsies will ship to the hospital in Haiti where Linzi works. We have lots of treats in the church freezer so no one needs to bring any more! Looking forward to seeing everyone and trying out Tammy’s new shorts pattern!! Also thinking about Pastor Marks message about saving grace! We are so blessed to have a Father that loves us unconditionally! Hope to see you Wednesday! Joy Abuhl

Quote for the day..... I want to be remembered for the people I include...not for the people I have excluded! Joy ab

We had a great visit with Linzi and Bertico at diaper sewing this morning! 11 of us got to hear about the tough times going on right now in Haiti. We had lots of great conversation and got a lot of work done even though our machines weren’t performing up to par!!! Thanks Linzi and Bertico for doing all the sorting! We have 150 diapers to send to Haiti with Linzi and Bertico when they head back. Each diaper is made with loving hands!! Thanks so much to those that help with this project in any way!! Joy Abuhl

Our Summer series on Grace begins this Sunday. Make sure to be there if you can as Pastor Mark reintroduces us to the biblical concept of grace.

Pictures from our women’s fellowship outing to Manning, iowa last week! The beautiful church on the haus barn campus is a must see! The 1600s haus barn is from Germany and was reconstructed at the Manning site. It is quite amazing! The rest of the pictures were of the group taking a break! My favorite is of Mardyl and Virginia chatting! We had a wonderful day!!

These ladies had probably served a funeral luncheon, shower or our spring luncheon. Wondering how many you can name?? Joy Abuhl
