HLCW Meeting: : Have you ever tried to imagine what it would be like to take a mission trip to Africa? We will be privileged to hear a first hand account and see slides of just such an adventure at our September HLCW Meeting. Mary Brown's daughter, Sharon Berlin, and her friend, Carla Sykora went on a church mission trip to Ethiopia in November of 2007. Come and hear their story of visiting and caring for people there. Perhaps you will be inspired to take your own journey. We know you will enjoy the fellowship at 9:30am on September 9 in the Fellowship Hall. See you there.

Attention knitters! It's time to reconvene and, depending on the interest, learn something new. I have contacted a gal who is willing to teach us how to knit Elizabeth Zimmermanss baby surprise jacket. This would involve 3-4 sessions. The only requirements are that of knitting experience (even beginning knitters are OK) and buying the pattern ($3.00 or so). Before I firm up a start date with her I would appreciate a call from you to confirm your attendance in the class that would begin in October. Please call me at 834-4630 if you are interested. In addition to restocking the supply of prayer shawls, perhaps we could knit the baby sweater as a mission project. Let's get back in the schedule of meeting on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m., with the exception of September which would be Tuesday, September 9. Looking forward to seeing all of you again. - Pat Soderlund
