THANK YOU!

Thank you, Brother Chuck and Brother Keith Vinson for gathering and bringing cane for Children's Assembly.

Thanks to Brother Jerry Long and Sister Linda Long for bringing their saw to cut the cane.

Thank you to Brother Walter Blaylock for the pattern and advise.

A special thank you to Luke Wantulok for cutting up the cane we have so far.  He always wants to help with Children's Assembly but sometimes thinks he has to wait until he is 12 years old.  GREAT JOB - LUKE!

Thanks everyone!

We will share the steps with you, when this flute project is completed, so that you may enjoy gathering cane in your area. In the meantime, keep a melody in your heart!

WANTED - Working Hands!

Fabric for the Children's Assembly bonnets is expected to arrive next week. Pull the sewing machines from the closet and oil them up. Listen for the announcement of an all day Dorcas Fellowship.

Prayer Shawl Update:

21 shawls have now been distributed since December 24, 2009. Thank you! We are continually having positive feedback from families who appreciate the prayer shawls some are church families but most do not attend church anywhere. This gift is opening doors that we would otherwise never have the opportunity to reach. Please keep these families in your prayers.

March World Mission Drive

The month of March is almost over. We want to thank everyone who participated in the March World Mission Drive. Everyone was willing to commit to what he or she had raised last year and then we had several who were working to bring an increase. God will bless you for your efforts.

There are still a few more bookmarkers available. Sell them for $1.00 toward our World Mission increase. Let people know that you and the church in Bald Knob, Arkansas, are praying for them and give them away if you cannot sell them. World Missions is not just about raising funds but it is about reaching souls for Christ whether you are in a foreign field or the field down the road.

Faithful Servants - In Prayer and Fasting

“His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” (Matthew 25:21)

7 Crocheted Shawls Boxed and ready to distribute

Sister Linda Long brought in 6 more crocheted Prayer Shawls for distribution.  She has been busy.  Not only is she taking care of Brother Jerry Long, recovering from open heart surgery and a life threatening bacterial infection, but she is also working for the Dorcas Ladies.  We appreciate her labor of love. 

There is still oil and meal in the barrel!

Sister Cheryl Andras, Luke and I went to visit  Dorothy Rowland yesterday. (She is the mother of Sister Brenda Dupree who passed this life in 2009.)   She was most appreciative of the prayer shawl we brought and has even called the following day thanking us again.  We had a very pleasant visit with her.  I hope we will be able to visit with her again. 

Sister Linda Long is also working on preparing bags of prayer cloths for the local church to annoint and distribute.  If you have a project you would like to initiate please feel free to step out and begin to work.  Let us seek God for His inspiration. 

We want to Praise the Lord for the additional visitors on Wednesday evening and I've been told new visitors are making preparations to attend this coming Wednesday evening also.  Let us rejoice and be glad.  Look what we would be missing if we did not have Wednesday evening services.  We praise the Lord for the souls of each one that puts forth an effort to come and worship any and every service available.

News Update

Ladies,
I have great news to share.  We have now given 15 prayer shawls (when I finish the one I am working on right now).  Currently, I have no more knitted shawls or fleece shawls (they were a big hit Sister Martha).  I have one crocheted shawl left.  Sister Linda has 6 more ready when she is able to get them to us.  This is wonderful! 
Check the winter sales and clearance rows for yarn:  Homespun yarn by Lion Brand takes 2 skiens to make a knitted shawl.  I believe that with Red Heart Yarn (regular size) it takes 4 skiens to make a crocheted shawl.  The fleece shawls took 2 - 1 yard pieces at 60 inches wide.  Even the men folk can help with the gathering process. 
People are hurting and need to find the comfort that will only be found through Jesus Christ.  We hope to be able, in some small way, to place them in rememberance of God and His everlasting love for them through the prayer shawl ministry.
  If you would like to submit a name and need to be considered to receive a prayer shawl please contact one of the WMB Ladies from Bald Knob, Arkansas or e-mail at wantulok@sbcglobal.net  If you would like to donate yarn, fleece or funds toward the project it will be greatly appreciated. If you would like to support this effort by purchasing a shawl as a regular gift and not through the prayer shawl ministry, shawls may be ordered for a $35.00 donation (plus shipping if applies).
