Valentine's Day

Women Ministries tried something new this year.  We decided to connect women of different generations over lunch!  It was such a neat experience for so many women.  It is something we hope to continue!

Linda Hagen visited Covenant Village and setup tea with her grandchildren and 3 ladies.  She writes:  "It was wonderful to spend time with them and they were so appreciative of our thinking of them.    My grandchildren loved the time with these ladies."

Julie, Kinsey and Vivian visited a delightful woman named Muriel.  Three generations, grandma, daughter and granddaughter!  While Vivian explored, and Kinsey chased, Julie got to visit with Muriel and discovered that Muriel had been a missionary to the Native Americans living in the Grand Canyon!  She went there as a pregnant woman and gave birth while there.  Her lifelong journey, from living in Nova Scotia to Bible College to a missionary in the Grand Canyon, has focused on spreading the good news!  Her husband passed away in December after a long illness.  She is now able to attend church more often and we look forward to seeing her there.  She was not even worried that Vivian would break something even though Kinsey and Julie were a little nervous!  Julie got to take home a book about her ministry and is reading more about it!

Here's a photo of our outing with Mary. She chose to go out, and she had never been to Starbucks.

Barb and Debie, below, had a special visit to Betty and delivered a lap quilt with prayer verses was made by Bev Sechrest created by the quilting ministry under the leadership of Martha Trapp!

Barb Hardison would like to thank the 43 volunteers, ladies of all generations, that took Valentine Cheer to 18 women that for various reasons are not able to get out. The balloons, candy, flowers and/or food were only part of the blessing. Your time and caring will be forever remembered. From what I heard in the voices of you, the volunteer, you too were blessed. Thank you again for your time and talents.



These are only a few of the visits that took place!  We hope to bring you more as we receive stories and pictures.
