The annual Ministry Fair at Newman proved to be a huge success. We had speakers at each of the Masses who explained our ministry, why they joined and what it means to them. Marcy spoke at the 5:15 on Saturday evening; Mary Beth and Sue spoke at the 9:00; Shelly with her sidekick Kate at the 11:00; and Kathryn handled the student Mass at 7:00 PM. After the Masses, we continued to spread the word about our ministry at a table we shared with the Ministry of Care. The crowd gathered around (especially after the 7:00 PM). We learned that there are so many folks at Newman who know how to knit and crochet and many who want to learn – folks who are excited about becoming part of a group who shares their faith and love of the Lord with prayer in the form of shawls, lapghans, and prayer squares. I am thrilled to report that we are now a truly multi-generational group, encompassing both men and women. My post from August 11 was the last one where I will address you all as “ladies.” We are looking forward to welcoming some young men and even younger students at our next meeting on Thursday, September 8.
Lord, make me YOUR instrument!
