QUILT MINISTRY is open to members and nonmembers. 11 quilts are being presented today (June 6) by Mary Jo Kurten and Libby Farley. These quilts are going to Potter’s Clay women who are graduating from the Celebrate Recovery class.
We meet on the Second and Fourth Mondays here at the church at 9:00 am. We design quilts, sandwich them and tie to secure with some machine stitching.
The main idea is that they go to people who need to know Jesus cares with a quilt made with love and prayers. Any questions, please call Phyllis Spencer (922-0666).

Reporting the "GOOD NEWS" that former member, Elder, and a GREAT FRIEND of WPC, Jim England is doing well and leading the choir and some Worship Services at his new Church in Dallas.

What better "Good News" can we present than that?

Hope you all recognize our own
Dale Clegg, joining Jim in song.

Here's a note from Dale Clegg, talking about his recent visit to Jim's Church in Dallas.

Hi Everone,
Cosy and I had a wonderful time seeing Jimmy performing at his first Gospel Service at his new church. He wanted me to tell you he misses you all, and that his life is finally coming back together. Here are a few pictures he sent.

WPC HISTORY

WPC Tenth Anniversary service,
l-r Dr. Mike Seitz, Dick Warner, & Dr. James Farley

The spectacular Service of Organization, the performance of the choir, the Installation of our pastor and the impressive reception all combined to make March 17, 1996 service at the Presbyterian Kirk in the Pines memorable and exciting event.

There was the excitement of our members, the reaction of friends, the warm loving expressions of various Presbyterian Kirk in the Pines members, the rose placed on the alter of Westminster Church of Hot Springs to mark the birth of our church; and letters of congratulations like the one from Reverend Howard “Flash” Gordon saying. “I have been greatly blessed by working with all of you”. All this and more says that we are really richly blessed that God is with us.

Exciting things are ahead. The first Session meeting was held April 4, 1996. Looking forward to working on a committee. Consider singing in our choir. Listen for discussions about planning the site selection and about reaching out as we continue to grow. We’re all in this together and Jim and I and the other Elders will appreciate your thoughts.

This was written by Dick Warner, then Acting Clerk of the Session for the April 1996 “The Log”.

SUNDAY MORNING COOKIE FELLOWSHIP is recruiting cooks. Instead of having everyone in Shepherd Groups submit cookies, we need individuals who know how to cook and want to cook provide our Sunday Morning cookies.

The Shepherd Groups will do the set up and clean up. Sign up is in the Narthex and in Fellowship Hall.

QUILTS FOR CHARITY WORKSHOP

We are in need of patriotic fabric - print or solid to sew quilts for wounded Marines to be delivered this summer. You may leave the fabric in the storage room by the choir. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Mondays at 9AM. We are grateful for your efforts. Call Phyllis Spencer (922-0666)for more information.

WANTED! People to form a Transportation Team. Woodlands Church has a need for some volunteers to drive people to Dr’s appointments. We need a volunteer to coordinate this team. To help or for questions, contact Wes Soerens (915.8971) or Jean Brown (922.5818).

PW MISSION PROJECT. We need helpers for Good Sam’s the first Wednesday of the month from 3 - 4:30 pm. The signup sheet is on the hallway bulletin board. Both men and women are welcome to help.

Lain Rodgers and her loyal and faithful volunteer helpers prepare food every Saturday at The Master's Table to needy families and residents of Hot Springs. Lain and her husband started their free meal ministry six years ago this coming Thanksgiving.

Lain had just moved back from Dallas and observed some children in back of one of the old Motels on Park Ave. going through the trash and trying to eat some pizza from a box that had been thrown away. She felt that there was something she could do to help so she started The Master's Table. They expect to serve over 17,000 lunches this year.

They can always use paper towels, napkins, paper cups (12 oz.), plastic forks and spoons. They can also use men's and children's used clothing.

On most Saturdays over 400 people receive their food served to them by volunteers. Woodlands helpers ready to serve people shown above are: L-R Nancy Alkov, Claudia Knudsen, Cosy Clegg, and Carol Wolever

Volunteers from Woodlands Church that went down to The Master's Table in Hot Springs to serve those in need of a warm meal.

FOOD DONATIONS NEEDED The Mission Ministry Team asks that you remember those who are hungry and in need by giving non-perishable food items each Sunday. The need for adult clothing has been met at this time.
