Attention All Quilters:
The Mission Committee is looking for people who quilt. We would like to
put together a baby quilt for Sarah Rose who continues with her surgeries and
chemotherapy for eye cancer. We are looking to do a 12 block quilt.
Each person would make their own block and then someone would piece them all
together to make the final quilt. Each block would also be signed by the
person who quilted it. If you are a quilter or are interested in doing a
quilt block for Sarah Rose, Please see Jackie Angleberger or call her at
717-624-8388. A volunteer is also needed to put all the pieces together. |

be able to add that record to your giving statement. Please be sure to put your

should be recorded. If you have any questions, please see Fred Myers or
Connie Thompson. |
