Women’s Guild

In April, the women met to discuss a chapter from our current book, Women of the Bible. They went over the financial report, as always very nicely prepared by Janet Waanders. I cannot tell you what other activities took place that day, since a virus kept me home.

The date for a May meeting was discussed but it seems that May is a very busy month for all of us, so in honor of Mother’s Day, we will not have a meeting at our church. Let’s all get together again in June and do something very special then. I will keep you updated on this. If you want to go to a nice meeting for women, I can recommend the Women Friendship Day from the Church Women United; their flier is included in this newsletter. I went to one of these a few years ago and had a really good time.

We are still sending birthday cards to the Reformed Church Home resident on a regular basis, if you have cards that are suitable for this, you may always bring them in. And if you have a spare half hour of time to write them for a specific month, let me know and I will get the cards and name list to you!

Currently, I have almost finished one prayer shawl and I am still working on another one. In the office, we only have one on hand at moment. If you have some yarn or cotton material that can be used for a shawl, let me know. I am happy to prepare another quilt for us to make into a shawl for someone who is in need of one. And that may be any kind of occasion!

Women’s Guild — Plans for Spring Activities

Erie Beemsterboer — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:22:06 +0000

The Spring-cleaning that was planned with the Rutgers volunteers was snowed out. However, we will try again on Apr 17th. We have asked a Girl Scout troop to help us this time. We are waiting for their answer.

On Apr 24th, we will honor Yvette Molina for all she has done and still is doing for House of Manna. We will do this by organizing a brunch. The final details for this celebration will be made at our next meeting on Mar 21st.

On Mar 5th, the Church Women United will celebrate World Day of Prayer with a gathering. Crossroads is planning a retreat again in April; if you are interested please see Erie for more details.

I hope to see all of you at our next meeting, which should start a little earlier as the last one.
