April 2024 Work Day Recap

 Praise the Lord ♥️    

That's what comes to mind when looking back on Hope Quilters this month.  The anticipation for the new participants from our exposure during the Lenten Project was reflected in discovering about 8 people who arrived early to get things set up, and all the extra tables from the cart were used!  Plenty of space for the new friends we looked forward to welcoming.

We were blessed with many new faces (I think 8 or 9).  This altar cloth story has really been a blessing to us, inspiring many to join us in our efforts.  It was refreshing to see new interest.

Altar cloth project is going well.  Fifty-six were turned in on Saturday.  With the others already collected, that makes around 120.  Around 40 of these will be going to Ghana already with the Mission trip in May.  Isn't it amazing how God has worked in this story?  Even though our focus has been on the altar cloths, there were also turned in eighteen quilts for delivery to LSI, Ellipse, Families Forward, Care Ministry, and the quilt auctions.  Several walker bags for the Care Ministry and lots of book pillows were turned in also. 

Your creativity, energy, generosity, and love continue to shine in each and everything we do.  Included in this post is a testimony for a Holy Spirit class at Hope.   The focus was on the Holy Spirit pointing you towards using your spiritual gifts.  Our hope is that you'll see the breadth of the Holy Spirit's work within what you do as part of Hope Quilters.  We are so much more than just making quilts for those in need (and that's a very noble cause by itself) but our hope is you'll experience the Holy Spirit through this involvement.
