Thank you, God, for the elderly

Tish D. has a heart for the elderly. On Sunday, November 21, she will be coming into Sunday's COOL to tell us about the residents at the Convalarium at Indian Run and show us some pictures of their lives.

Samuel F. Pugh is a 100-year-old pastor, children's author and nursing home resident. He lives in Indianapolis and still volunteers to read in preschools. The picture above is of his hands and one of his many Bibles. He says, "God and I are on very good terms, and we work together to get through everything." He wrote a very touching Thanksgiving prayer about appreciating the simple blessings of food, work, home and health. You can read it here: http://www.appleseeds.org/thankgv5.htm

The Partners in Prayer visited us on November 7 and helped us make Thanksgiving Placemats. We will donate some of the placemats we made to the residents at the Convalarium. We will also send them giant Thanksgiving cards.

Thank you, Tish, for helping us remember our elders!
May God brighten their Thanksgiving Day 2004.

Sunday's COOL Offering

Susan and Megan D. are coordinating an offering for the Sunday’s COOL kids. They will be collecting canned and boxed foods.

The donated items will go to either the
Plain City Food Pantry or the
Dublin Food Pantry.

We will begin our collections on Sunday, November 7 and continue throughout the school year. We will also have some mini-ushers to help Megan collect. Please help your children prepare their offering by letting them gather the food items and pray for the people who will receive them.
