But these weren't just visits, but services... at one and at three, we have a service with about 15 people in attendance at each one. 2 different senior highrises sponsor every month.Diane M.

Pat always says <I>"Jesus always blessed the children and taught the adults. We have spent the past 2000 years doing the opposite. Maybe we should change!"</I><BR/><BR/>Which is not to day that we shouldn't teach the children, but oh what their open hearts can teach us.<BR/><BR/>I love the idea of your communion ware in the Japanese cloth; it makes my soul feel still and rich.<BR/><BR/>That Exodus reading came up in my Small Faith Sharing group on Wednesday. I just wrote about SFS on the church blog, but not that line.<BR/><BR/>How I love the image of the eagle's wings bearing us with great love. Now I wish I had included that in what I wrote!Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-13489194427927195792008-06-13T22:37:00.000-05:002008-06-13T22:37:00.000-05:00I'll tell you when I find out!I'll tell you when I find out!Diane M.
