Sewing party schedule

No sewing party on Oct. 7- grandma duty calling!

Come on Oct. 9 from 9-11 am.

Dresses to Guatemala

Here are some of the dresses and baby blankets going to Guatemala. In addition to the 125 we already gave Jean to take to Guatemala later this month, we just got 24 more. Thanks to Rosella for making these additional dresses as a nod to her daughter whom she and her husband adopted from Guatemala 34 years ago. I'll take pix of those tomorrow and post them.

More dresses to bless girls and some shorts for the boys

 Thanks to our wonderful volunteers in Colorado, we are sending 118 dresses and undies with Jean who is a volunteer missionary with Child at Heart. They are going to Guatemala next month and will dress girls with your dresses. We're also sending 12 pair of pjs, 20 pair of boys' shorts, 3 girls' shortsets, 6 baby blankets, 20 knitted caps and a few baby clothes. They are thrilled.

Keep on sewing- our next batch will go to Hope4Women for the Nov. trip to Uganda. Mail your dresses to Rachel Cinader, PO Box 74010, Phoenix, AZ. 85087 by Oct. 22. See H4WI.org.

Walk4Water postponed

Well, sometimes (actually quite often) God has other plans. We were running into obstacles with the Walk date of Nov. 6 so we decided to postpone it until Spring. As soon as we have a new date, I'll post it.

Thanks!

On the road again

Well it's lots closer to home but I'm heading to St. Louis tomorrow through Sunday for the Joyce Meyer women's conference and to visit long time friends from high school. But I get to fly, worship with thousands of amazing women and enjoy time with Wayne and Martha. Since I don't have a St. Louis pic, here's So. Cal friends Karen, me and Kelley at the equator.

African Tea Party

We gathered to experience a little taste of Africa. The tea parties I've done in the bush, on Sigulu Island, in schools and churches with Hope4Women. In order to know the importance of serving and being served in Jesus' name, I created a village in my basement. It was fun!

We had visitors to our tea party from several tribes: Loveland, Longmont, Ft. Collins- even Colorado Springs. They brought dresses, hats and pajamas for us to clothes children and dress girls around the world. Thanks for coming!!

Open House a big success

We had more than 50 women and girls come to the African Open House last Sat. God is good- more than $600 in widows' crafts were sold and I met some amazing women with a heart for service. We got a pick-up truck full of fabric donated so if you live nearby and sew, PLEASE come get some fabric. Yesterday I delevered two big bags of dresses to a woman in Loveland who is going with Group Publishing to Kenya.
Here's a couple more photos of how adorable these girls look and how much fun it is to dress them.
