Report and Announcements

Picking Up The Stitches Blog site began in November 2009 for the purpose of sharing projects with the Dorcas Ladies of our local church.  This blog is no longer just for our Dorcas Projects but also serves as the Blog for the entire local church.  Since the blog began we have had over 400 views (the counter was not installed initially).  Although we had activity prior to this spring we were not set to receive stats from our viewers.  Since the spring we have had visits from 3 continents, 6 sub-continents, 8 countries, 27 cities and 129 specific visitors.  Thank you to our visitors and to those who have contributed. 

We are glad to know that The Church of God in Bald Knob, Arkansas is alive and ministering to others.  We look forward to another year of serving you.  If you have items you would like to share on our blog or comments please send them to wantulok@sbcglobal.net or pickingupthestitches@gmail.com.  Thanks for viewing.

The WMB Service this month focused on allowing the Lord to pick us up.  Sometimes we get low in spirit  and need to be lifted up.  He lifted me up from the miry clay and planted my feet on solid ground.  Sometimes storms come our way and we need to be lifted up above the storm clouds that surround us.  We looked at the examples of others who were lifted up by the Lord such as Job, David and Naomi.  We can go on, grow and fulfill the purpose that God has for our lives even if we face low times in our life.  David did.  2 Samuel 5:10  And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.  We used a bloom from a mum (we called it a Daisy most of the time) to help us remember to keep our roots in the ground and our petals lifting up glorifying the Lord. (I guess you can say "mum's" the word.)  

Let us GO ON and GROW!  The Lord God is with us! Praise the LORD!

Did we see you at the General Assembly?

We took well over 1000 pictures so take time to stop by sometime and view the slide show.

Thanks to Jerry and Linda Long

Thanks Sister Linda and Brother Jerry for helping us prepare for Children's Assembly by making Aprons and Bonnets this year.  We really appreciate all your hard work. 

I have a picture but I was unable to transfer it to the computer - we will post it at a later time if we are successful with our download.
