Saturday Night Peace Camp
Feb. 27th
March 27th
April 24th
May 22nd
See attached flyer to register!
Dr. Bodell, and 20 other doctors and nurses, will be going to Nicaragua instead of Haiti in March.
They will do surgery for children with deformaties, such as Cleft Palate, and other needed problems.
They do this for free as the families have no way to pay.
We have been collecting stuffed animals for them to give to the children.
(Dr. Bodell asked if we could give small ones, as they can also be used to pad the instruments
on their way down.) I will be collecting them until the 1st of March.
You can leave them at church, or call, or email me, if you need them picked up.
Dr. Bodell is going to take pictures for us.

STITCH-IN-TIME
We will be sewing on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays each month.
The sewing that we are doing is not quilts, but more like "comforters";
nothing fancy or intricate, but just to be used for
"comfort" and/or need, (to keep a senior warm, etc.)
We'll have some refreshments, so let us know if you will be there.
You can contact Cefora Pineda or Bonnie Williamson.

PENRICKTON CENTER FOR BLIND CHILDREN
Penrickton Center is a private, non-profit five day residential and day care agency serving blind, multi-disabled children ages 1-12. Because no fees are ever charged to families, all financial support is raised from individuals, service clubs, corporations, and foundations.
We support the Penrickton Center for Blind Children by donating needed items to them on an on-going basis. You can bring your donations in to the church at any time, and leave them in the box by the door in the vestibule. Penrickton Center greatly appreciates any and all donations we give them.
