The first phase of our needlepoint project is nearing
completion. The completed altar cushions will be dedicated on
Reformation Sunday (10/31/04). A $650 Thrivent Grant has been
applied for this hands-on project. Since this is an
ongoing project, we ate still accepting memorials an honorariums for
the future continuation of this project. These dedicated
needle pointers are now working on choir chair seat cushions and
cushions for the seasons of the church year.
Members of the Needlepoint Group are:
Amy Goodson
Diane Hazelwood
Jan House
Nancy Korn
Betty Barton
Jane Potter
Sue Rasche
Elaine Rummage
Judy Wagner
Stacey Smith
.
We have many who have volunteered to stitch the cushions and welcome
anyone else who
would like to help. If you are not inclined to
stitch, you can help in the cost of the cushions.
It is estimated
that each of the 4 smaller side cushions will cost approximately
$500.00 a piece
and the larger center cushion will be $600.00. This
price is for a finished cushion that does
include blocking and
upholstering. We are hoping to pay for these heirlooms with either
Memorials
and or fundraising. If you are interested in making a
donation in honor or in memory of a
loved one, please mark your
check to the “Needlepoint Fund” and to whom you are
remembering with
your gift. At the completion of our projects, a booklet will be made
to
describe the designs in each project, to name those who did the
stitching and to note who
made the memorial and to whom.
We have made a down payment for Mrs. Mote to begin the painting of
the canvas with our
designs and to make up our kits so we can begin
stitching. The remaining outstanding balance
for the cost of the
kits is due on arrival. She expects our kits to be ready within the
next
few weeks and so we are asking now for any donations. Our
tentative date of completion
is to allow for dedication on
Reformation Sunday, 2003.
We are hoping that you can help us in this project that will help
beautify our sanctuary and to
allow us to glorify God with the
talents of those in the church.
We have received several new kneelers to be needle
pointed
Here are pictures of the completed kneelers
