LADIES AID Meeting: Tuesday,  July 2, 2024 at 11:00 a.m.
(Diane W will share the July devotion.)

Please join us for our regular meeting on the first Tuesday of the month at 11:00 a.m. Then, feel free to stay for Golden Oldies pot-luck lunch and Mexican Train dominoes. Great food and lots of fun!

At our June meeting, Mary B led the devotion and a prayer based upon “The World We Live In”. We discussed Christmas in July and will finalize our plans at our July meeting.

Kathy B reported that the quilters have completed 41 quilts this year for LWR. They have a table topper and some small quilts for the Cross Trails Ministry Fall Festival Quilt Show & Auction on September 21 at the Fredericksburg Marketplatz.

The St. Peter quilters invite you to bring a lunch and join them any Thursday in July (except July 4) from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. for quilting, sharing stories, fellowship, and laughter.  You can select, iron or cut fabric, sew, tie, hand quilt, or sit and visit with the quilters. Please join us / them.

The Ladies Aid June benevolence went to BIG. We discussed our trip to the Brookwood in Georgetown (BIG) facility on June 12. It was educational and inspiring. The citizens are grouped for different activities every morning and afternoon. We got to see card making, baking and pottery. We met with many participants who shared their favorite activities. We had a great lunch and shopped at the gift shop. And we had a great guide!

Prayer concerns were shared and the meeting closed with the Lord’s Prayer. Joyce C won the table runner door prize. Hope to see you at the next meeting and look forward to new projects and adventures in 2024.

The Worship Committee met on Tuesday, June 11 to discuss worship concerns for the summer months.
