Schedule of Meetings

Janet Moore volunteered to be our Worship/Devotional leader in March.

Since we need a hostess for April, Dale volunteered for the April meeting to be at her house in the evening.  We will meet at 6:30 and she will serve dessert. (Eat dinner before you arrive.)

Rev. Susan Mitchell Scott is coming to our daytime May meeting to be our program speaker.

2018 Craft Fair Funds

We discussed options for the use of our proceeds from the 2019 Craft Fair.  Those options were:

§ A new refrigerator for our church building’s kitchen. (It was decided to seek getting the present one repaired.)

§ A set of two new drinking fountains in the hallway of church building.

§ Repair work for the church building’s air conditioner.

§ A new carpet or floor-covering in the parsonage. (JM said she could price flooring options.)

The decision was made to replace the drinking fountains since they have been unusable for over a year, especially since we have people renting our building.

2019 Craft Fair

JM has realized we will be short-handed for this year’s Craft Fair.  Janet Moore will be performing a wedding that weekend and will be away. Becky Johnson may not be able to head-up the church’s Baked Goods table, and Barbara Ann is unable to fill in. Mike Phillips will be moving away in the Fall. We decided we needed to include others, such as Becky and Marion in our decision making, so the subject was tabled until next month.

Program and Worship Devotional

Suzanne Bussells led our worship devotional using John 13:34 “I give you a new commandment, Love one another as I have loved you.” She read from Alive Now: Friends of Jesus.

January Project: Women of Transformation

For this project we have been gathering items, and funds to purchase items, for The Women of Transformation in West Philadelphia. Janet S is directing this project, with help from Pat T. This project is on-going into March.

Lunch

We adjourned for a lovely lunch, hosted by Janet Sette. She had a Valentine theme. (We had lunch first because of the mess of fibers in the air that the filling causes, and so that those who couldn’t stay until the project was finished would have had lunch.)

February Project: Heart Pillows

With Dale Harris directing our Heart Pillow project, we stuffed and sewed 20 heart pillows. 

Next Meeting

Our next meeting will be in the late morning of March 13th, 2019. It will be held in the Fellowship Hall of Marple Christian Church beginning at 10:30 AM.  Our hostess will be Pat Treat.  The Worship/Devotional leader will be Rev. Janet Moore.  The project will be continuing creating heart pillows.

Respectfully submitted,

Pat Treat
