Tuesday Morning Knitters led the congregation to aid ladies in ‘The Connections For Life’ program. The Connections For Life ladies were fortunate to celebrate a wonderful Christmas season! A big part of their joy came from the many ways FUMC made them feel special with your visits, cards and goodies. One of those special ways came from what the Tuesday Morning Knitters did for them. For the past several years, the Knitters
have led the congregation in collecting stamps that Albertson’s gives for merchandise purchased during the holidays. This year there were enough stamps collected and redeemed that made it possible for each of the Connection’s ladies to receive two Rachel Ray dish-sets.
The ladies were thrilled with their new, bright and colorful dinnerware! When it was explained to them about the Knitters efforts and the congregation’s participation, they felt very special and it made them love their gifts even more. The ladies appreciate the kindness and generosity of many of you at FUMC and often comment on how much they enjoy visiting with you and how friendly and nice you always are to them. While the dishes are a practical item they need and can definitely use, it means more than you may realize that the Knitters led this project and many of you took the time to collect the stamps, turn them in to the church, go and get the dishes and then give them as a gift. Your acts of kindness do much to help the Connections For Life ladies on their journey of rebuilding their lives for themselves and their children. Thanks for your expression of thoughtfulness and the many ways you help our program throughout the year.
